This is the second unit I’ve installed as the first one, installed two winters ago in another building is working so well. No problems, easy to install. Both systems are hydronic floor heat and these units work great. Just fyi…….going to electric now works out cheaper than the original propane costs. Like that it’s Canadian made.

Safely using a propane tank with a propane grill requires a correct and secure connection between the regulator and the tank valve.

When connecting a propane tank to a regulator, it’s always a good idea to perform a gas leak test. Make sure all of the control knobs on the grill are in the off position. Once the regulator has been screwed onto the tank valve turn on the tank valve. Spray some soapy water on the tank to regulator connection. If you see bubbles form turn off the tank valve, disconnect the regulator, and inspect the tank valve gasket. Try reconnecting the regulator and perform a soapy water test again. If there is still a leak try a second propane tank. If a leak is still present, please reach out to Weber Customer Service at 1-800-446-1071 or support@weberstephen.com. NEVER USE A GRILL IF LEAK IS PRESENT!
Propane tank manufacturers have put a tremendous amount of time and effort into making sure that propane tanks are safe to use, but there are some things to consider whenever you’re using a propane grill.

It’s also important to make sure that the propane tank is installed properly into the grill, as outlined in the owner’s manual. Installing the tank in a manner other than what has been recommended could cause stress on the hose/regulator connection, resulting in a gas leak.
Air separatorhow it works
I bought these to replace some wax actuators from my old system. Those were inconsistent (each moved a different amount) and had huge in rush power requirements. These have low power requirements and appear to be very consistent.
I purchased this glycol pump as part of the build your own, which included the manifolds pump, expansion tank, air separator and basic plumbing supplies. I was very happy with how everything arrived together and the install was straightforward just from looking at the pictures. The glycol pump makes it easy to charge the system, and took a lot of the guesswork out of setting it up. My garage now has toasty warm floors.
Before using a propane tank, take some time to inspect the gasket on the propane tank. They can become warped or damaged over time. Pointing the propane tank valve into the sun can give you a good view of the tank valve gasket. A tank valve gasket should be perfectly round and free of any cracks or splits.
