INSTALLATION USING A
PROPANE SUPPLY TANK
1 When installing the heater for use with propane gas, set the gas
selector valve to “Propane” and lock in position.
2 The supply container must be equipped with a UL listed Gas Pressure
Regulator. This is essential to reduce the gas pressure to a safe
transmittable pressure. This pressure must further be reduced so the
gas pressure does not exceed the maximum input pressure of the
heater. This can be accomplished by placing a suitably sized second
stage gas regulator on the valve train at the heater. This regulator
should also be a UL listed LP Gas Pressure Regulator.
3 Arrange the propane supply system to provide for vapour withdrawal
from the operating container. Supplying liquid propane to the heater is
dangerous and will damage the components.
4 Ensure that for the surrounding temperature the size and capacity of
the propane supply container is adequate to provide the rated Btu/h
input to the heater.
5 Turn off the propane supply valve at the container when the heater is
not in use.
6 The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code.
7 When the heater is to be stored indoors the propane container must be
disconnected from the heater and the container moved away and
stored in accordance with the above National Standard.
INSTALLATION FOR
NATURAL GAS APPLICATIONS
1 When installing the heater for use with natural gas, set the gas selector
valve to the “Natural” position.
2 A regulator must be installed on the heater to ensure that the pressure
to the heater does not exceed 1/2 psi inlet pressure.
3 The installation of this heater to a natural gas supply must conform with
all applicable local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code.
