PROPANE
For stationary installations, run a minimum 3/4 IPS supply line as above. For portable
applications, a hose and regulator assembly is included with the optional portability kit. This
includes a P01 tank connector, single stage regulator and an approved supply hose for connection
to a combination gas valve.
Obtain one or more 100 lb. propane tank (s) and locate near the heater. Insert the male P01
connector on the regulator into the female receptacle located on the propane tank shutoff valve
and tighten firmly (L.H. thread). Open tank valve and check for gas leaks using a dish soap
solution. If the machine has been left for a long period, the gas line will need to be purged;
therefore, several attempts may be needed to start burner. Release knob and wait 5 minutes
before lighting pilot in the normal fashion.
Note: Continuous outdoor operation in freezing temperatures may require several tanks
manifolded together to maintain consistent vaporization of the propane. Contact your local Lp
gas distributor for multiple tank requirements and manifold assembly.
REQUIRED GAS MANIFOLD PRESSURE
See SPECIFICATIONS chart on page 6 for the requirements of your model.
Pressure tap located on automatic gas valve.
Certified for installation at 0 to 4500 Ft. altitude. Installations at over 4500 Ft. and up to 6000 Ft.
require a 4% deration of input rating, achieved by a slight reduction of gas pressure regulator
setting.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
STATIONARY INSTALLATIONS
A draft diverter must be attached to the flue hood outlet. Use same size vent as draft hood outlet
and avoid short turns. Horizontal runs are not recommended. Never use a vent pipe smaller than
the draft hood. If total run is more than 25’, use larger size chimney. A 90 degree elbow is
equivalent to a run of 20 feet. OBSERVE CAN1 B49.1 and 2 installation code requirements.
IMPORTANT: All venting must be in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, and
local ordinances. Consult local heating contractors.
