For a typical propane tank installation a 1000 gallon tank is recommended as the minimum size to avoid
frequent refilling. (Raising the air temperature 100°F (38°C) on an airflow rate of 10,000 CFM
(283m³/min) would require approximately 300 gallons of liquid propane per day.) Also the larger tank
will aid in the vaporization of the liquid propane.
Note:
Never use an anhydrous ammonia tank as your LP gas tank. Contaminants in the tank can be harmful
to the heater, and safety devices may not meet liquid propane storage codes.
The supply tank should be placed at least 10’ (3.05m) from the heater. Because some areas may require
a greater distance, please consult your local authorities.
The supply tank should be equipped with a liquid valve and vapor valve. The inlet of the liquid valve
should be located 12” (31cm) from the tank bottom to avoid impurities getting into the gas line and
heater.
The liquid valve and vapor valve on the propane tank should be connected as illustrated. This allows
the operator to run the LPGE and LPGEM units on vapor or liquid propane.
A minimum 60 psig (414kPa) pressure regulator is recommended, located as shown. The regulator
provides uniform flow, and reduces the pressure on the gas line from the regulator to the heater for
added safety. The regulator is required on vapor and liquid propane installations. Verify that the supply
tank has a relief valve present and that it is properly sized and located.
