PROPANE SUPPLY
You must provide propane gas and propane
tank(s).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor
withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5
of the Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liqueed Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/
or CAN/CGA B149.2. Your local l brary or re
department will have this booklet.
This heater will operate with a 20 lb (9.07 kg)
propane tank. However, you can only oper-
ate it in the LOW position during mildly cool
weather for a very short time. At higher heat
settings or during colder weather, you must
use larger tanks.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from
propane tanks varies. Two factors decide this
amount.
1. The amount of propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the minimum num-
ber of 100 b (45 kg) tanks needed to run
the heater. Connect tanks together with a
manifold.
Average Temperature Number
At Tank Location Of Tanks
(80,000 Btu/Hr models)
20° F (-6.7° C) to 60° F (15.6° C) 1
0° F (-17.8° C) to 20° F (-6.7° C) 2
(200,000 Btu/Hr models)
20° F (-6.7° C) to 60° F (15.6° C) 2
0° F (-17.8° C) to 20° F (-6.7° C) 3
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures.
Your local propane gas dealer will help you
select the proper supply system.
