Propane Express — Serving Lake Norman and Beyond

Always follow grill manufacturer's instructions and keep written materials accessible.
When lighting a grill, make sure grill top is open.
Always use or store cylinders outdoors in an upright (vertical) position.
When the cylinder is refilled, have the supplier check for dents, damage, rust, or leaks.
Before connecting or lighting a propane gas grill, use a leak-detection solution to check connections for tightness. Do not use matches or lighters to check for leaks. Your propane gas supplier has leak-detection solutions and instructions.
If carrying to an exchange station, take the cylinder home immediately. Keep the vehicle ventilated and the cylinder valve closed and capped.
If there is an uncontrollable release of gas, call the fire department.
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the cylinder or grill.
Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder.
When not in use, grill burner controls should be turned off and cylinder valve closed.
Do not use, store, or transport cylinders near high temperatures (this includes storing spare cylinders near the grill).
When a grill is not in use, cover disconnected hose-end fittings with small, plastic bags or protective caps to keep clean.
