If your Power Burner is factory built for L.P., the
regulator required is set for 10” water column
and is for use with L.P. gas only. If unit is NOT
supplied with regulator please make sure that all
requirements are met for the type of regulator
required.
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.
A typical LP gas installation is show on the right.
Make sure that the factory- supplied regulator
is used and installed with the arrow mark on the
regulator pointing towards the Power Burner.
Do not use any replacement regulator other than
that specified by the manufacturer. Use only pipe
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 boom, at least two ventilation openings
at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the
sidewall, equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14
r), 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 boom 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.
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. Provided with a listed overfilling prevention
device.
2. Provided with a cylinder connection device
compatible with the connection for outdoor
cooking appliances.
