PROPANE (LP) DANGERS AND WARNINGS
• The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD) and a QCCI or Type I
(CGA810) LP gas tank connection.

Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connection, ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977, CSA B96.
• The LP gas tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Tanks must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children. Do NOT store in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
• Never store your LP gas tank where temperatures can reach over 125°F.
• Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or combustion.
• Never keep a filled LP gas tank in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to
increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
• Place dust cap on valve outlet whenever the LP gas tank is not in use. Only install the type of
dust cap on the LP gas tank valve outlet that is provided with the LP gas tank valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
