16 - Friday. June 24 1994 - North Snore News re OME & GAR Features make grill safer IF YOU purchase a new propane barbecue or gas grill, it will proba- bly be equipped with a new type of connection on the regulator. The fitting on the regulator is a new POL quick-coupling, and, combined with the new QCC-1 (Quick Closing Coupling) valve on the top of the propane cylinder, provides the consumer with the lat- est and safest propane gas connec- tion available. The new QCC-1 gas grill con- nection will help eliminate the pos- sibility of fire, explosion and per- sonal injury due to accidental gas leakage. If your barbecue or grill has the new QCC-! connection, the cylin- der valve will be equipped with a supplemental check valve that remains closed until it is properly mated with the male POL connec- tor. This feature prevents the Now of LP-gas from the cylinder when the POL connector is not fully or prop- erly engaged. This feature also provides dou- ble assurance that propane gas will not escape. even if the valve is opened inadvertently during trans- port, for example. A cap is provided to keep dirt or other foreign objects out of the cylinder valve. This cap is required during transport and storage of an LP-gas cylinder. The LP-gas regulator will be equipped with a thermal protective handwheel which connects the POL nose to the cylinder valve. This fea- ture serves two purposes: @ The connection between the cylinder valve and the regulator now has a right-hand thread and can easily be attached without tools. @ When the thermal protective handwheel is heated to the critical temperature range of 240°-300°F, the rear portion of the handwhcel will yield. Consequently, the POL nose will recede and permit the check valve within the cylinder vilve to close off the flow of gas if there is fire or excessive heat around the connection. This new product design has been developed to protect the con- sumer. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this is new fea- ture, contact your local propane dealer.
