Filling, Removing, or Installing an LP-Gas Cylinder

Description of Work		Comments
Close valves on appliances and pilot burners.
Make sure POL fitting is tight between the regulator and the cylinder/tank valve. This nut has a left-hand thread. Be sure to use a properly fitting wrench to prevent deforming the brass fitting. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
Check for leaks with a soapy-water solution at fittings and connections. Never use soap with harsh chemicals or ammonia; these chemicals can corrode the lines and brass fittings.
Replace the regulator immediately if bubbles indicate leaks at the diaphragm seal or vents.
Retest for leaks.
Relight the pilots and check them for proper flame (light blue-no yellow).
Light the main burners to check for proper flame colour.
Check to see that the regulator vent is clear and free of debris.
Close the cylinder/tank valve when the appliances will not be used.
Never store cylinders indoors in an unvented, enclosed area or near an open flame or source of sparks.
