Recommended LPG System Installation

Starting from the propane tank itself, the fuel line attachments should occupy the

following positions: (a) the tank shut-off valve, (b) the pressure gauge, (c) the

regulator, (d) the solenoid valve.

Affix the caution label plate supplied with your Cozy Cabin Heater in the

immediate vicinity of the gas cylinder in a place where it will be plainly visible.

10.

The LPG supply line should be 3/8" (10mm) soft copper line, on which your

plumber will install the flare nuts when you tell him how long to make it. It can

also be a flexible fire-resistant hose, UL or CGA approved hose for use with

propane, complete with 3/8" (10mm) flare nuts on each end. A single continuous

line or hose without couplings or tees is a must. Every connection is a potential

leak.

11.

Because every connection is a potential leak, the fuel line should be one

continuous length of hose or tubing. Do not make a "T" off and fuel line between

an existing appliance and the gas cylinder to feed another appliance. (You may

install a "T" connection only within the fuel tank's enclosure, so any leakage is

dissipated overboard)

12.

Be sure you do not kink the hose or piping connecting the regulator with the

heater by bending it too sharply during installation.

13.

Protect the hose against vibration and damage by securing it tightly to bulkheads

and hull side with non-corrosive ties or clamps which will not cut, abrade or pinch

it.

14.

Fuel lines must be protected by close-fitting grommets and sealants where they

pass through decks or bulkheads, and the passage must be made vapor-tight. They

should be installed so that they are readily accessible to inspection.

Fuel System Testing

If you install a low pressure Guage (0 to 15 PSI) after the pressure regulator you can

check for leaks by watching the pressure guage. To do this open the manual cylinder and

solenoid valves and make a note of the reading on the pressure gauge. Now close the

manual cylinder valve. The pressure should remain constant for at least 10 minutes. If it

does not, gas is leaking out of the system.

The leak(s) should be located by applying a mixture of liquid detergent and water to all

connections and other suspect points and checking for bubbles.
