LP*-GAS
CONSUMPTION
Most gas appliances are only operated intermittently. Unless there
is
heavy use of hot water, water heater consumption is not too
great. During freezing weather and high wind conditions, furnace
consumption can be extremely heavy.
L.P.-gas consumption depends upon individual use
of
appliances
and the length of time operated. Each gallon of L.P.-gas produces
about 91,500 BW's of heat energy. Following
is
a list of typical
appliance consumption when turned full on for one hour of
operation:

USING
TEE
AUTOMATIC
CHANGEOVER
REGULATOR
(For
Optional
Double
Bottles
Only)
A
useful accessory is an automatic change over regulator.
This
apparatus allows both gas bottles to be turned on
simultaneousiy.
The arrow on the regulator handle indicates which bottle
is
in
service. When the indicated bottle
in
service becomes empty,
changeover is automatically accomplished to commence drawing
fuel from the other bottle. At this point, the plastic window will
display
a
red
signal
or
flag
to indicate the condition. You should
then
flip
the lever over to indicate service on the other bottle. The
first bottle which was depleted can then be turned
off,
uncoupled
and taken to be refilled without disturbing the
R.V.
gas supply.
After refilling, it can be remounted and again turned to the "On"
position. When the other bottle
is
depleted, the L.P.-gas supply
will again
be
automatically changed over.
