FAQs
What type of gas can I use with this pigtail?
This Sievert pigtail is designed exclusively for use with flammable gases such as propane and butane.
What is a P.O.L. fitting?
P.O.L. stands for 'Prest-O-Lite'. It is a standard safety fitting used on propane cylinders and regulators, designed to prevent gas flow until a secure connection is made.
Can I use this pigtail with oxygen or other non-flammable gases?
No, this pigtail is specifically certified and designed for flammable gases only. Using it with other gases could be dangerous and may damage the fitting.
What is the length of this pigtail?
The Sievert ERP11A5 pigtail is 20 inches in length.
How often should I inspect the pigtail?
It is recommended to inspect the pigtail before each use for any signs of wear, such as cracks, cuts, or stiffness. Regular visual checks are essential for safety.
What if I need to connect to a different type of fitting?
If your appliance or regulator uses a different fitting type, you may need to use an appropriate adapter. Ensure any adapter used is rated for the gas type and pressure.
Troubleshooting
Gas leak detected at connection point
Turn off gas supply immediately. Disconnect and reconnect the pigtail, ensuring both ends are securely tightened. Check for debris on the fittings. If a leak persists, replace the pigtail.
Difficulty connecting to cylinder or Tee Piece
Ensure you are using the correct P.O.L. (Type 1) fittings. Check for any obstructions or bent threads on the pigtail or the receiving valve/port. Do not force the connection.
Low gas pressure or inconsistent flow
Check that all connections are tight and leak-free. Ensure the cylinder has sufficient gas. Verify that the pigtail is not kinked or damaged internally.
