LP Gas Requirements
Check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the replace is
manufactured for.
IMPORTANT WARNING: All Cal Flame s and replaces are manufactured with the highest regard to safety. For
this reason, Cal Flame s and replaces are either manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP) or natural
gas (NG) and cannot be converted. To verify the replace’s operating fuel, remove the bottom drip pan and
check serial number label on the left. Either LP or NG will be marked on the operating tab, indicating the proper
operating fuel. Attempting to convert a Cal Flame replace from one fuel to another may result in serious injury
and void the warranty coverage.
If you do not have an updated ller valve on your existing propane tank, you will need to purchase one at your
local hardware store, as you will not be allowed to rell the tank at any lling station.
LP Gas Hook Up: An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by openings at the level of the cylinder
valve and at oor level. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for purposes of ventilation shall be determined with
the LP-gas supply cylinder in place. This shall be accomplished in one of the following manners:
One side of the enclosure shall be completely open.•
Enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top and bottom:•
At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the sidewall, equally sized, •
spaced at 180˚ (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less than
” square inch per pound (7.1 cm≈/kg) of stored fuel capacity, and not less than a total free area of 10
square inches (64.5 cm≈).
Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at oor level and shall have a total free area of not less than •
square inch per pound (7.1 cm≈/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10
square inches (64.5cm≈). If ventilation openings at oor level are in a sidewall, there shall be at least
two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at oor level and the upper edge no more than 5
inches (127 mm) above the oor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180˚ (3.14 rad) and
unobstructed.
Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) •
diameter rod.
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible regulator and set it for LP gas.
LP Gas Supply Pressure: Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 14” W.C (3.5 kPa). Minimum
line pressure for propane is 11” W.C.
LP Gas Pressure Regulator: The unit must be used with the gas pressure regulator. The regulator will control
and maintain a uniform gas pressure in the manifold. The burner orices have been sized for the gas pressure
delivered by the regulator.
LPG Cylinder Specication: Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this replace must be approximately 12
inches in diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 gallons. Full
cylinder weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Always use the cylinder dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not connected to the replace.
Transporting the LP Gas Supply Cylinder: Only one cylinder should be transported at a time. Transport
cylinder in an upright and secure manner with control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.
