LP Tank Installation &
Leak Checking
Installation Location
The tank is hung onto the tank scale which is located
outside the cabinet base under the right side table. The
shape of the collar assembly (the metal protective ring
around the tank valve) determines one of two directions
in which the tank will correctly hang on the tank scale
(A).
Inspect the Tank
1. Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by
turning valve clockwise.
2. Confirm that the tank valve is the proper mating type
for the regulator (B).
3. Inspect the tank valve, including the internal rubber
seal for damage or debris (C). If damaged, return
tank to local retailer.
Install The Tank
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off
position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise.
2. Loosen hand nut and rotate tank lock up (D).
3. Lift tank into position on the tank scale (E).
4. Rotate the tank lock down. Tighten the hand nut.
5. Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve,
turning clockwise (F). Hand-tighten only. Using a
wrench could damage the regulator coupling and
could cause a leak. Proceed to "CHECKING FOR
GAS LEAKS."
What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank is properly installed, it is necessary
to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way
to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the
tank. The fitting where the regulator connects to the
tank should be tested each time a tank is refilled and
reinstalled.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1. Wet fittings (G) with a soap and water solution, using
a spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own
soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap
with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check so-
lution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.
2. Slowly open gas supply by turning tank valve coun-
terclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3. If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (H), turn off the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the tank
and return the tank to your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (I), turn off the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Cus-
tomer Service Representative in your area using
the contact information on our website.
4. If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) Turn gas supply off at the tank and rinse connec-
tions with water.
NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including
soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all
connections should be rinsed with water after
checking for leaks.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The fuel system in your grill features other connections
and fittings. These factory-made connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have
been flame-tested.
WEBERrecommends performing an additional thorough
leak check after assembly, as well as annually.
Instructions for this can be found online at weber.com.

m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a
gas leak present.
m DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of
gas escaping from the liquid propane tank:
1) Move away from liquid propane tank.
2) Do not attempt to correct the problem
yourself.
3) Call your fire department.
m DANGER: Always close the tank valve before
disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt
to disconnect the gas regulator and hose
assembly or any gas fitting while this grill is
in operation.
m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under
or near this grill. Never fill the tank beyond
80% full. Failure to follow these statements
exactly may result in a fire causing death or
serious injury.
