Filler Valve

Propane is introduced to any approved container by the fill valve, also known as the filler valve. The fill valves allow the liquid to flow in only one direction which is into the tank. Because LP Gas tank fill valves incorporate backflow prevention, the fill valve is not suitable for withdrawing propane from within the tank.

After the hose coupling is securely attached to the tank fill valve, the valve is hose-end valve is opened and liquid propane begins to flow into the tank. The pressure from the gas in the hose alone is enough to open the fill valve. The figure to the left illustrates the open and closed positions of the filler valve when in use. This is located inside the tank and is not visible when looking at a propane tank. The part that is outside the tank also has a one-way valve that opens and closes with the pressure of the hose. This valve is visible by looking into the valve outside the tank. These two "back flow prevention" valves ensure that propane is securely stored in the tank opened only when a delivery is made.

The protection of the filler valve is very important as it operates as the first line of supply to your gas system. The purpose of the protective cap is to keep water and debris from entering the valve. If debris enters the valve, it could keep the discs from seating properly causing the valve to remain in an open position allowing gas to escape. Water in the valve can cause the hose end coupling to be frozen onto the filler valve making it difficult for the delivery driver to disconnect the propane delivery hose from the fill valve.
