Wolfedale Engineering & Fiesta Grill Gear Steel Liquid Propane Gas Cylinders
Fiesta recommends the use of high-quality, Canadian made Wolfedale Engineering propane
gas cylinders for use with our barbeques.
Wolfedale Engineering Limited is the Canadian industry leader in propane cylinder manufacturing, and as such,
combines its core strengths of product development, value-added marketing, and customer service with its proprietary
technology to ensure the highest quality and safety standards and to create the highest consumer value products.
ABOUT WOLFEDALE ENGINEERING LIMITED
Wolfedale Engineering Limited was founded in 1977. It began manufacturing steel propane cylinders, commonly referred to as tanks, with
75 employees and one 30-year old press. Within three short years, Wolfedale Engineering automated its production facility, extended its
product range, and became the largest propane gas steel cylinder manufacturer in Canada. It is now a vertically integrated, state-of-the-art
company with unique industry processes, which enable it to produce up to 1.5 million units per year.
ABOUT WOLFEDALE PROPANE CYLINDERS
All of Wolfedale Engineering Limited's liquid propane gas cylinders are manufactured in an ISO 9001:2002 certified facility in Mississauga,
Ontario to meet or exceed the requirements of the Canadian Standards Association as outlined in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act.
Cylinders come in 5 lb (2.3 Kg), 8 lbs (4.0 Kg), 20 lb (9.1 Kg), and 30 lb (13.6 Kg) sizes and can be used for BBQs as well as all recreational vehicles,
campers, trailers, welding and domestic applications.
Cylinders include the following features & designs:
- Engineered lightweight strength & design
- Ergonomic "hand friendly" handles
- Damage resistant all steel safety construction
- Electro-statically painted
- Durable anti-oxidation polyester paint finish
- Optional Overfill Protection Device (O.P.D.)*
- Type-1 Quick Connect Coupling Valves (Q.C.C.1)
- Redundant Valving
- Solid Brass Valves
- Comprehensively factory tested
*Available only on 20 lb and 30 lb cylinders
ABOUT THE GAS GUARDIAN SYSTEM:
Fiesta's and Wolfedale Engineering's exclusive Gas Guardian System combines barbeque and propane safety features into
one total peace-of-mind package.
The Gas Guardian System integrates the Overfill Protection Device (O.P.D.), Redundant Valving, Type-1 Quick
Connect Coupling Valve (Q.C.C. 1), Flow Limiting Device, and Thermal Disconnect Safety Mechanism. These features and innovation help Fiesta's
and Wolfedale Engineering's ongoing commitment to improve cylinder safety and develop technology for the industry as well as consumers. Wolfedale
Engineering is the only propane cylinder manufacturer in North America that has an independent CSA approved inspector on site to continuously monitor
tank production and to provide quality control.
|
Overfill Protection Device (O.P.D.) prevents accidental gas leaks caused by tank over-pressurization, the leading cause
of tank gas leaks. The float in the tank will automatically stop filling at 80% capacity, leaving a 20% area for the expansion of the liquid propane
when it is exposed to warmer temperatures. Without this safety feature, the relief valve may open and discharge propane, creating a potential
safety hazard. Propane tanks equipped with the O.P.D. safety feature are easily identified by their triangular valve wheel.
|
|
Redundant Valving prohibits the flow of gas to the burner unless the connection is 100% correct.
Type-1 Quick Connect Coupling Valves, also referred to as Q.C.C. 1, ensure fast tank hook-ups requiring only hand tightening.
The redundant valve system inhibits the flow of gas to the burner if the connection is not 100% correct.
Flow Limiting Device detects a change in pressure and dramatically reduces the flow of gas if the hose is cut or ruptured.
|
|
Thermal Disconnect Safety Mechanism is built into every Fiesta gas regulator. It detects a change in temperature and
automatically shuts off the gas flow in case of fire.

CYLINDER SAFETY:
-
There are limits on how much propane can be put into a Liquid Propane (LP) cylinder. A typical 30 lb (13.6 kg) cylinder
holds approximately 20 lb (9 Kg) of propane. This extra unfilled volume leaves some room for the liquid to expand.
-
When the LP cylinder is connected, the grill must be kept outside in a well-ventilated space. When not in use, the LP cylinder
valve must be turned to the OFF position.
-
If storing the barbeque indoors, the LP cylinder must be disconnected, removed, and stored outdoors. Never store an LP cylinder indoors.
-
The cylinder valve outlet must be plugged whenever the cylinder is not connected to the grill or is being transported.
-
Always store LP cylinders upright and in areas where temperatures won't exceed 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit).
Never store a spare LP cylinder on or near a grill or any other appliance.
-
Always check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect the regulator to the LP cylinder.
-
Never attach or disconnect a LP cylinder or move or alter gas fittings when the barbeque is in operation or is hot.
-
Never use an LP cylinder if it shows any signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust or
other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked by a liquid propane supplier.
