L.B. White I-5 Infraconic - Manual (Page 8)

ATTENTION
■
Attach only steel cable or
chain to the heater’s hanging
chain. Do not use
combustible materials such
as ropes, lines, etc.
■
The installer must ensure
that the heater is hung so
control end of heater is
positioned 1º to 5º down
from horizontal after gas
supply hose is attached.This
allows proper venting of
heater and eliminates
potential heat damage to
dust filter.
■
Repositioning of chain within
hanging clips on heater may
be required.

9. A qualified service agency must check for proper
operating gas pressures upon installation of the
heaters.
10. Use the proper gas supply line to assure proper
functioning of the heaters. Typically, 3/4 in. ID black
iron pipe is used to supply gas to the inlet of the zone
control panel with 1/2 in. ID black iron pipe used to
convey the gas to the heaters. However, always consult
your fuel gas supplier, or the L. B. White Co., Inc. for
proper line sizing and installation.
11. Infraconic heaters require a regulated gas supply to the
gas inlet. Exceeding the gas inlet pressure rating can
result in poor performance and unreliable operation.
Refer to page 4 of this manual for information on gas
pressures relating to specific models.
12. The heater is designed for either L.P. vapor with-drawal
or natural gas, depending on model number. Do not

Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions in this manual.
Make sure that livestock is protected by a back up
alarm system that limits high and low temperatures and
also activates appropriate alarms.
14. Take time to understand how to operate and maintain
the heater using the owner’s manual. Make sure you
know how to shut off the gas supply to the building and
to the individual heaters. Contact your gas supplier if
you have any questions.
15. Any defects found in performing any of the service
procedures must be eliminated and defective parts
replaced immediately. Retest the heater before placing
it back into service.
