Gas Safety
Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas, also commonly called Propane, is a fuel gas which contains a flammable
mixture of hydrocarbon gases, most commonly propane, butane, and propylene. Exercise great caution and
strictly follow all safety measures when using LP gas.
The installation must conform with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with one of the following,
as applicable:
•National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
•Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1

GXL-45 Operator Manual Safety Considerations •5
Tank Requirements
The LP cylinder used with this grill must be no larger than 20 lb. capacity with 11” water column, and have:
•Type 1 outlet compatible with the grill gas regulator and a safety relief device having direct
communication with the vapor space of the cylinder
•UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular
hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve
•A collar to protect the cylinder threads on the customer supplied tank
•When not in use, the tank shut off valve should be turned off
Filling and Refilling LP Gas Cylinders
All purging and refilling of LP gas cylinders must be performed by
qualified personnel in the LP gas industry. Never store a spare LP gas
cylinder under or near this appliance.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in explosion, personal injury, or death.
If a gas leak cannot be stopped by closing the LP cylinder valve,
immediately leave the area and call the fire department!
To replace an LP gas cylinder:
1. Turn all burner knobs to OFF and close the LP cylinder valve
2. Disconnect the regulator hose from the LP cylinder
Figure 1 LP Cylinder Valve
3. Remove cylinder from the enclosure; have it replaced or filled at your local qualified propane dealer
4. Connect the regulator valve
a. Hold the regulator so it is aligned with the cylinder valve
b. Thread the coupling nut onto the valve and tighten clockwise until there is resistance

6•Safety Considerations GXL-45 Operator Manual
c. Tighten another half to three-quarters turn by hand to ensure the regulator is seated in the
valve – do not use tools
d. If the tank connection cannot be completed do not use the regulator
5. Open the LP cylinder valve
6. If you smell gas or hear a hiss of gas escaping from the tank or regulator, close the cylinder valve
immediately and then:
a. If the leak stops, remove the regulator from the tank and reattempt the connection
b. If the leak persists, turn off the tank valve and remove the regulator
c. If the leak cannot be stopped by closing the tank valve, leave the area and call the fire
department immediately
7. Leak check the connections as described in the Leak Testing section below
Do not subject your LP gas cylinder to excessive heat, and always
store the cylinder in an upright position.
Never store a spare LP cylinder indoors or within the grill enclosure.
When attaching components, ensure all connections are secured and
fully tightened to prevent leakage.
Turn off the gas supply when either Natural Gas or LP Gas grills are
not in use.
Leak Testing
Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installation or service.
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while doing
a leak test.
Do not attempt to repair an LP cylinder valve if it is damaged. Return
the cylinder to a qualified LP tank supplier for replacement.
Always conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
With all burners off, open the gas source valve and spray a soap/water solution on all joints. Growing
bubbles indicate leaking gas. Correct any leaks immediately.
See Leak Test on page 27 for more detail.
