Converting your grill with the upgraded QCC1
hose and regulator assembly provides for
additional new safety features.
They are:
1. The connection of the grill to the LP tank can be made without tools.
2. The new connection will not permit the flow of gas until a positive gas connection
is made.
3. If an accidental fire occurs at the LP tank connection, the flow of gas is stopped by
a temperature-activated shutoff.
4. If the LP supply hose becomes damaged, cut, punctured, or accidentally fire damaged, the
barbecue connection is equipped with an excess flow control that will limit the flow of gas if
leakage or a fire occurs.
Step 1
Disconnect hose and regulator assembly from LP tank.
1. Close tank valve (turn clockwise).
If you have a POL
regulator:
2. Use a 7/8-inch or adjustable wrench to loosen the POL nut. Unscrew by
hand.
If you have a quick disconnect regulator:
2. Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect on the tank valve. Pull the
male fitting of the regulator out of the quick disconnect fitting.
If you have a QCC1 regulator:
2. Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only. Pull
regulator away from tank.
Case 1
If you have an older model follow steps below.
Step 2 (Case 1)
Remove burner control knobs and
control panel.
1. Take off the burner control knobs.
2. Depending on model of your grill, you
will need to remove screws or push in
buttons that hold control panel. Remove
screws with a Phillips screwdriver or put
your fingers under the edge of the
control panel at the control panel push-in
buttons and pull toward you.
Lift off the control panel.
*The grill illustrated may have slight differences from the
model purchased.

Step 3 (Case 1)
Remove hose and regulator assembly from manifold
Note: Some older models have the hose threaded directly into the bottom of the manifold (see
illustration). If your hose is threaded into the bottom of the manifold, contact Customer Service
1 (800) 446-1071 to replace the manifold.
Use a wrench to remove the hose and regulator assembly from the brass elbow on the manifold (turn
counterclockwise).
Some models may have a FlameCheck
™ System attached to the manifold.

Step 5 (Case 1)
Connect the QCC1 hose and regulator
assembly to LP tank
WARNING:
Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is
closed. Close by turning valve clockwise
.
Route the hose so it will not interfere with the tank scale
indicator rod.
The hose and regulator are connected in the
following manner:
1. Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.
2. Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve,
clockwise, or to the right. Hand-tighten only.
Note: This is a new type of connection. It tightens
clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless
the connection is tight. The connection requires
tightening by hand only.
WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the
connection. Using a wrench could damage the
regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

Step 6 (Case 1)
Check for gas leaks
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are
no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks.
Sparks or flames will result in a fire or explosion which, can cause
serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.
3. Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and watching for
bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fitting. Turn the gas back on and recheck with soap
and water solution.
1. Mix soap and water.
2. Turn on the cylinder valve.
