TYPICAL 20 LP PROPANE GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend that you use the Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet
(#21280) for installations using a 20 lb LP cylinder, mounted remotely in an
“island” structure.
The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet is a CSA listed accessory for installing a
remote mounted 20 lb LP cylinder, in an “island” structure. Summit® Built-In
Tank Cabinet has a hose and regulator assembly and gas connections,
for connecting a remote mounted LP cylinder to the Summit® Built-In gas
grill. The hose and regulator is listed as a required part of the CSA listed
Summit® Built-In gas grill.
The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet also meets the requirements for venting,
tank retention and separation of the LP cylinder from a heat source as
outlined in the ANSI Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/
CSA 1.6 for LP enclosures.
The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet has its own installation guide.
If you do not use the Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet, you need to hire
a licensed contractor or licensed plumber and they need to follow the
requirements described in the ANSI Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas
Appliances, Z21.58/CSA 1.6 for LP enclosures.
The requirements described in the Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas
Appliances, Z21.58/CSA 1.6. are as follows;
A remote enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be ventilated by openings at
both the upper and lower levels of the cylinder. This shall be accomplished
by one of the following:
a).
One side of the remote LP cylinder enclosure shall be completely
open; or
b).
If the remote LP cylinder enclosure is designed to have four sides,
a top and a bottom, ventilation is required for the remote LP cylinder
enclosure;
1).
2).
There should be at least two ventilation openings, (a hole or
group of holes, for the purpose of ventilation) in the sidewalls
of the island structure. The openings should be located within
5 inches (127mm) of the top of the enclosure. The ventilation
openings should be equally sized and spaced at a minimum of 90
degrees, and be unobstructed. The openings shall have a total
free open area of not less than 20 square inches. (This relates to1
square inch of ventilation area, per pound of stored fuel capacity).
Ventilation openings (a hole or group of holes, for the purpose of
ventilation) should be provided at floor level. The ventilation openings
should have a total free area of not less than 10 square inches. (This
relates to 1/2 square inch of ventilation area, per pound of stored
fuel capacity). There should be at least two ventilation openings
if the ventilation openings at floor level are in the sidewall. The
ventilation openings should be within 5 inches (127mm) of the floor.
The ventilation openings should be of equal size and be spaced at a
minimum of 90 degrees, and should be unobstructed.
3).
The minimum size of the ventilation hole (s) should not be less
than 1/4 inch.
4). The ventilation openings in the sidewalls should not allow
venting into the empty or “hollow” area of the “island”. If a
gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder should vent in the
LP cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be allowed to vent
or migrate into the empty or “hollow” area of the “island”.
Ventilation openings in the sidewalls of the enclosure should
only communicate with the outside of the “island” structure, so
that the gas can dissipate outside of the “island” structure.
c). If the remote LP cylinder enclosure has four sides, a top and a
bottom, and is intended for installation in a built-in “island” enclosure;
1). At least one ventilation opening (a hole or group of holes,
for the purpose of ventilation) needs to be on one side of the
enclosure that communicates with the outside of the “island”
structure. If a gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder should
vent in the LP cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be
allowed to vent or migrate into the empty or “hollow” area of
the “island”. Ventilation openings should only communicate
with the outside of the “island” structure, so that the gas can
dissipate outside of the “island” structure. The ventilation
opening should be located within 5 inches (127mm) of the top
of the enclosure, and should have a total free area of 20 square
inches. (This relates to 1 square inch of ventilation area, per
pound of stored fuel).
2). At least one ventilation opening (a hole or group of holes, for the
purpose of ventilation) needs to be on one side of the enclosure
that communicates with the outside of the “island” structure, at the
bottom. If a gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder should vent in
the LP cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be allowed to vent or
migrate into the empty or “hollow” area of the “island”. Ventilation
openings should only communicate with the outside of the “island”
structure, so that the gas can dissipate outside of the “island”
structure. The ventilation opening should be located within 5 inches
(127mm) of the bottom of the enclosure, and should have a total
free area of 10 square inches. (This relates to 1/2 square inch of
ventilation area, per pound of stored fuel).
3). The minimum size of the ventilation hole (s) should not be less
than 1/4 inch.
d). The remote LP cylinder enclosure should be constructed with noncombustible materials. The remote LP cylinder enclosure should
isolate the LP cylinder from the burner compartment, so that it
provides shielding from radiation, be a flame barrier and provide
protection from foreign material such as hot drippings.
e). There should be a minimum of 2 inches (50.8mm) between the
ground and the floor of the remote LP cylinder enclosure.
f). The LP cylinder valve should be readily accessible for hand
operation. A door on the remote LP cylinder enclosure to gain
access to the LP cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is nonlocking and can be opened without the use of tools.
If your, licensed contractor or licensed plumber, builds an LP cylinder
enclosure following the guidelines in the ANSI Standard for Outdoor
Cooking Gas Appliances,
Z21.58 CSA 1.6, you need to order kit number (#21287), which will
contain the hose and regulator assembly, mounting bracket for the
regulator, connection fittings and LP tank bracket for retaining the LP
cylinder that must be used with the Summit® Built-In gas grill. The
hose and regulator in the kit (#21287) is listed as part of the CSA listed
Summit® Built-In gas grill.
ASSEMBLY
DANGER
Use of any other hose and regulator assembly could
be dangerous, and may not provide adequate gas
supply to the Summit® Built-In gas grill, and could
result in a fire or an explosion causing serious
bodily injury or death and damage to property.

We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it is completely empty.
Removal of the LP cylinder
1) Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise).
2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only.
3) Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up out of the way.
4) Lift cylinder off.
To refill, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder
be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a
qualified attendant, who fills the cylinder by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make
sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve.
This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion
of the valve.
•

•
•
Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and
natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures.
Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the
pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this
odor.
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas
and prevent dispersion.
To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up “gas-propane”
in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder,
make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP
cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling
or type 1 valve and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention
Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible
with your barbecue connection.
Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling.
Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an
upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled
roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can
reach 125° F (51.7° C) (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not
leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).
Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The
fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running
out. You do not have to run out before you refill.
• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full.
Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas
pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before
disconnecting.

The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak
tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test
each time the LP cylinder is refilled.
Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed
downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of
dirt, grease, bugs etc.
The LP cylinder and connections supplied with your Weber® gas
barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government,
American Gas Association, and Underwriters Laboratories
requirements.
