Liquid Propane Models

1. LP models are designed to run on liquid propane, with liquid draw from the propane tank. Avoid using

propane supply tanks that have been use for vapor draw for long periods of time. When using liquid
draw systems any moisture that may be present in tank or lines may freeze when system is used in
cold weather. To avoid this, the usual precaution is to purge the system with methanol.

2. Run proper size line

(See Specifications on Page 9)

to pipe train on heater. Have a qualified gas

service person inspect installation to be sure everything is installed according to local codes
and ordinances.

3. After installation is complete check all connections for leaks. Use liquid detergent or comparable

substance. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Avoid contact with liquid propane. DO NOT USE
FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING.

Propane Vapor Models

1. Propane vapor models are designed to run directly off of supply tank or from a separate

external vaporizer.

2. Run proper size line

(See Specifications on Page 9)

to pipe train on heater. Have a qualified gas

service person inspect installation to be sure everything is installed according to local codes
and ordinances.

3. After installation is complete check all connections for leaks.

Natural Gas Models

1. Natural gas models are similar to vapor models, but have a larger orifice to accommodate lower

pressure, sometimes found with natural gas.

2. Run proper size line

(See Specifications on Page 9)

to pipe train on heater. Have a qualified gas

service person inspect installation to be sure everything is installed according to local codes
and ordinances.

3. After installation is complete check all connections for leaks.

Standard Heater Electrical Installation

Standard electrical safety practices and codes should be used when working with a heater. Refer to the
National Electric Code Standard Handbook by the National Fire Protection Association. A qualified
electrician should make all wiring installations.

WARNING

Do not use propane tanks which have previously been used for ammonia unless
they have been purged according to procedures of the national LP association.

Investigate to be sure that the fuel supply system complies with all local codes for
LP gas installations.

WARNING

Always disconnect and lock out power before working on or around heater.
