An enclosure or island for an LP gas cylinder must
be vented on the level of the cylinder valve and at
floor level. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for
purposes of ventilation shall be determined with
the LP gas supply cylinder in place. This shall be
accomplished by one of the following:
a. One side of the enclosure shall be fully open; or
b. For an enclosure having four sides, a top and a
bottom, at least two ventilation openings at
cylinder valve level shall be provided in the
sidewall, equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14r),
and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total
free area of not less than 1/2 square inch per pound
(7.1 cm2/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than
a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 cm2).
Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor
level and shall have a total free area of not less
than ½” square inch per pound (7.1 cm2/kg) of
stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free
area of 10 square inches (64.5 cm2). If ventilation
openings at floor level are in a sidewall, there
shall be at least two openings. The bottom of the
openings shall be at floor level and the upper
edge no more than 5 inches (127 mm) above the
floor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced
at 180 degrees (3.14 r) and unobstructed.
Although LP Gas Cylinders may be used, it is
not recommended due to the large amount of
Gas Consumption and may freeze up the gas
cylinder as well as a safety risk.
1. Provided with a listed overfilling prevention
device.
2. Provided with a cylinder connection device
compatible with the connection for outdoor
cooking appliances.
CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY
HOSE DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT
WITH ANY HOT SURFACE OF THE SIDE
BURNER.
WARNING!
VENTING YOUR ENCLOSURE:
LPGAS (LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM /PROPANE)
If your Side Burner is factory built for LP, the
regulator required is set for 10” water column
and is for use with LPgas only. If unit is NOT
supplied with regulator please make sure that all
requirements are met for the type of regulator
required.
LP GAS SAFETY REQUIREMENT
The LP gas supply cylinder must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the
National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods, and
Commission, as applicable; and
1. This gas appliance and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at the test pressures
in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2. This appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any
NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION
The installation must conform with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
either The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas
Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane
Installation Code.
It must be provided with a shut-off valve
terminating in gas tank valve outlet. It must
include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The
cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
Do not operate the gas Side Burner indoors
or in any enclosed area. If the gas Side Burner is
not in use, the gas must be turned off at the
supply cylinder. If the Side Burner is to be stored
indoors, disconnect the gas supply cylinder and
leave the cylinder outdoors.
LP GAS HOOKUP
A typical LP gas installation is shown below. Make
sure that the factory- supplied regulator is used
and installed with the arrow mark on the
regulator pointing towards the Side Burner. Do not
use any replacement regulator other than that
specified by the manufacturer. Use only pipe
sealants that are approved for use with natural
and LP gases. An installer-supplied
gas shutoff valve must be installed in an accessible
location. (Reference: leak test procedure).
