LPG TANK WITH REGULATION SYSTEM
~
~;-
1. Locate the tank and regulator system on deck, cabjn top or in a vapor tight compartment,
insulated from the hull interior and protected from climatic extremes by a housing vented to the
open air. The vent snould be at the bottom of the cOi11partment so that if the LPG should leak from
the system, it will drain overboard (refer"to ABYC Standard #A-1.)
NOTE: LPG is heavier than air and if allowed to settle, accumulate, and if ignited, WILL
CAUSE AN EXPLOSION!
2. ,The LPG tank s~ould be securely bolted down by the tank feet ang in the positLon in which the
tank was designed. LPG is a two-phase (liquid/vapor) fuel and only vapor withdrawal from the
tank is safe. Liquid withdrawal could be dangerous.
3. IMPORTANT:The LPG tank valve outlet fitting and the regulator system nut, by law, have left-
hand threads. The nut is so marked with a slot.
4. The LPGtank valve outlet fitting does not require pipe dope or Teflon tape and,should be
attached to the regulation system nut dry and clean to keep foreign materials c>utofJhe system.
When assembling the regulation system, use a high quality sealant only on all male~pipethreads.
5. The regulator must have a 0 to 300 psi pressure gauge located on the tank pressure side of the
regulator.
6. "'<!
If the LPG tank is to be located on deck or exposed to water spray, point the regulator system so
that water cannot run into the regulator 'fent port located just above the LPG outlet connection, or
into the body of the pressure gauge.
7. Use a 7/8" open end wrench to tighten the regulation system nut to the LPG tank valve
connection. Tighten the nut as you would on welding tanks or a CO2 cylinder, using approximately
50 foot pounds torque.
8. Affix the caution label supplied with the stove in the immediate vicinity of the tank where the label
will be plainly visible. (Refer to ABY,p Standard #A-1.)
9. The LPG supply line should be U.L.-listed hose with machine-crimped fittings. A single continuous
hose without couplings or tees is strongly recommended. Keep the number of fittings to an
absoluteminimum.Everyconn~ctionis'a potentialleak! i;:;1
10. Run the hose from the LPG regulation system to the appliance with 6-inch minimum radius turns,
so the hose does not t<ink, cutting off the fuel supply to the appliance. Note: Fuel pressure is less
than 1/2 psi. ,.
11. Keep hose away from heat or abrasion. Use plastic ties or clamps to secure the hose to the boat
structure or bulkheads.

SUMMARY FOR CHECKING LPG SYSTEM AND LPG APPLIANCE
1. After the LPG tank has been installed, the regulation system connected, the hose run and
connected to both the appliance and the regulator, slowly crack open the LPG tank valve and
observe the pressure gauge on the regulation system. The gauge should read approximately
110 psi at 70°F. (Higher if warmer, or lower if cooler atmospheric temperature.)
2. Close the LPG tank valve and observe the pressure gauge. It should hold a constant reading. If
you can detect a falling in pressure over a 3 minute period of time, there is a leak. LEAKS CAN
BE DANGEROUS.
a. If a leak occurs, check all appliance burners to see if in "Off' position.
b. Make sure the oven control is in "Off' position.
c. Check all fittings with a soap and water solution. NEVER USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR
LEAKS.
3. If you cannot find the leak, contact Seaward Products promptly.
4. PRESSURE GAUGE: The primary function of the pressure gauge at the regulator is to check
for leaks, but it may also be helpful in determining the fuel level in the tank. When the liquid
propane in the tank nears the empty state, the gauge will indicate a low pressure. Since the
vapor pressure of the propane varies with the ambient and the tank temperature, using the
gauge as a fuel level indicator may require some experience. In general, when the gauge shows
below 40 PSI, you should consider refilling the tank.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT YOUR LPG REGULATOR: It is recommended that only ahigh quality LPG
regulator be used with any of Seaward Products LPG appliances. It is imperative that the regulator
be set at 11 inches water column so that the oven operates correctly, and the flame height on the top
burners cooks efficiently. If the regulator pressure is greater than 11 inches water column, the flame
can impinge on the top burner bowl causing discoloration on stainless bowls or chipped porcelain on
porcelain bowls.

GIMBALEDMODELS-2 & 3 BURNERS
1. It is important that the following minimum clearances from combustible materials be adhered to
when installing your gimbaled range.
2 BURNERMODEL:Side - 7" minimumas measured from the center line of the closest burner
head. Rear. 9" minimumas measured from the center line of the closest burner head. Top - 24"
minimumto overhead cabinets, shelves or any other combustible material.
3 BURNER MODEL: Side. 5W' minimumas measured from the center line of the closest burner
head. Rear - 7" minimum as measured from the center line of the closest burner head. Top - 24"
minimum to overhead cabinets, shelves or any other combustible material.
2. Make a cardboard template the same size as the side view of the range. Punch a hole at the
gimbal location the size of the gimbal, and swing the appliance template in the applicance cut-out
location in the boat on your finger. By allowing a swing of approximately 15° to 20. before inter-
ference with the hull or boat structure, the gimbal point can be located. Mark the point. Make
certain that after the gimbal point is determined that the installation matches or exceeds the
minimum clearane in paragraph # 1. It is important that the oven vent be completely clear so that
burned gases can discharge to the open air. If this vent is blocked, poisonous gas could be pro-
duced.
3. Locate the companion pieces to the gimbals and install the appliance.
4. For safety. Seawara gimbaled appliances are designed with a sliding bolt type lock. The sliding
bolt should lock into an adjacent cabinet or bulkhead to prevent the appliance from swinging
in rough weather.
CAUTION: The appliance center of gravity will also shift from the gimbal location when
pots are not bafanced on the appliance or when the appliance door Is open.
5. Connect the LPG fuel supply hose fitting to the brass fitting on the appliance manifold and on
the regulation system. Wrench tighten the fitting to the connection on the appliance. DO NOT use
dope or Tellon tape.
Check all gas connections for possible leaks. Turn the valves on your range to their "Off'
position. Open valve on gas supply tank. Using a strong soap and water solution, (Yoliquid soap
and '12water), check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the soap and water solution
over the connection. Presence of bubbles will indicate a leak. Tighten fitting and recheck for leaks.
DO NOT USEOPEN FLAME FOR CHECKING GAS LEAKS.
6.
7. Place burner grates In place with the clips provided. An instruction sheet is provided for the grate
clips. These grate clips will hold the grate in place while under way.
light the burner for testing.
8.
9. The appliance is now ready for use. Sometimes the burners will not ignite immediately and seem
to "blow" slightly when they do ignite. This is usually due to the presence of air in the gas lines,
which will clear itself within seconds.
