Cylinder Exchange

Connect Your Propane Cylinder


With today’s propane cylinder safety valves, propane will no longer flow out of a cylinder simply by opening the hand wheel. Remember these tips:

  • Step 1: Make sure the cylinder service valve hand wheel is turned OFF (to the right) completely before connecting to your grill or other appliance.

  • Step 2: Check that the fitting that connects to the cylinder service valve is hand-tight on the cylinder valve before opening the valve hand wheel.

  • Step 3: If you do not have gas flowing to your grill, turn off your grill AND the cylinder service valve hand wheel, disconnect the fitting from the cylinder valve and repeat Steps 1 and 2.

Note: Be sure to follow any manufacturers’ instructions for the appliance and follow all precautions.
