WARNING: Gas appliances and regulators must be handled with extreme care. Improper installation or use can lead to gas leaks, fire, explosion, and serious injury or death.

• Always ensure the gas source is turned off by rotating the valve on the propane tank before installing or removing the regulator.
• Verify compatibility: This regulator is designed for LPG/Propane gas appliances requiring an 11 inches water column (approx. 0.4 PSI) output pressure. It is NOT for natural gas appliances, which typically require different pressure levels. Always check the specifications of your gas source and appliance.
• Inspect for damage: Before each use, visually inspect the regulator and hose for any signs of damage, cuts, cracks, or excessive wear. Do not use if damaged.
• Leak test: After connecting the regulator, always perform a leak test using a soapy water solution. Apply the solution to all connections. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, turn off the gas immediately and tighten connections or replace faulty parts. Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
• Outdoor use only: This regulator is intended for outdoor use with outdoor gas appliances.
• Keep away from heat: Ensure the hose is routed away from any extreme heat sources.
