Connecting the Propane Tank

Step 1

Start with a full propane tank. Attach a flexible gas line using a threaded coupling with an on/off switch. The length of your gas line depends upon how far from the propane source you plan to place your tiki torch.

Step 2

Assemble your tiki torch base, delivery pipe and tiki torch head at the location you have chosen.

Step 3

Run the gas line to the delivery pipe at the planned location of your tiki torch. Six feet is the standard length of a delivery pipe. Thread the gas line through the delivery pipe, and connect it to a tiki torch head that is threaded onto the top of the pipe.

Step 4

Test your propane tiki torch. Turn on the gas at the propane tank, and light the tiki torch head.

Step 5

Once you have confirmed that the torch is functioning properly, double-check the stability of your tiki torch base to be sure it will remain standing even in high winds.
