Applicable SKU
- FTK0097
Replacement Steps
Tools Needed:
3/4" Wrench
- Turn control knobs to OFF position, close propane tank valve, and disconnect the regulator from the propane tank.
- Use a 3/4" wrench to remove the regulator and hose assembly from underneath the grill.
- Once the old regulator is off, screw the new one on. Use the 3/4" wrench to tighten.
- Do not use thread sealant tape.
- Thread the female fitting of the regulator hose assembly onto the male fitting of the manifold, by hand.
- The female fitting on the regulator hose should rotate at least two full turns before there is any resistance. If there is any resistance before this point it is because the threads are not aligned correctly (cross threaded), the threads are damaged, or there is debris in the threads. If this is the case remove the regulator, inspect the threads on both fittings, and try to install it again. Tighten the female fitting as much as possible by hand.
- Use the 5/8” wrench on the manifold fitting and the ¾” wrench on the hose fitting and tighten the connection.
- Be careful to not over-tighten. It should rotate about 1/16 to 1/8 of a turn past hand tight and then a little more force applied so it is snug.
- Attach the regulator hose to the propane tank.
- IMPORTANT: After replacing the regulator hose, check for gas leaks before next use.
- Open propane tank valve but leave burner knobs in the OFF position.
- Spray the connection with soapy water and check for bubbles.
- If bubbles are present, tighten connection.
