LP Gas Hook-Up
9
The heater comes equipped with a regulator/hose assembly for connection to a standard 13kg
gas tank (not included) and 18” tank strap to secure the tank within the base. A dented or rusty LP
tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier.
Never use an LP tank with a damaged valve. The LP tank must be arranged to provide for vapor
withdrawal from the operating cylinder.
Never connect an unregulated LP tank to the heater. The heater is shipped from the factory for LP
use, never substitute gases without first converting the heater with a factory supplied conversion kit.
Conversion kits are available through customer service.
LP GAS CONNECTION-REFERENCE
The heater is designed to house a 13 Kg. gas cylinder in the base assembly. Open the door, and
place the cylinder into the housing. The regulator can then be screwed into the cylinder. The regulator
and the tank have right-handed threads (clockwise to tighten no teflon tape is required). When
tightening be careful not to put too much force on the cylinder valve.
CHECK THE FOLLOWING CONNECTIONS
1) Regulator to gas cylinder.
2) All connections on the hose/regulator assembly.
3) The reducer fitting and the intake pipe.
4) Intake pipe fitting at base of safety valve. The remaining connections are to be tested after the
heater has been lit. (See lighting instructions on page 12).
5) Pilot tubing to safety valve.
6) Orifice fitting and Safety valve.
7) Pilot tubing and the pilot. Once leak tested, close the door and replace the valve panel.
NOTE: Gas connections on the heater head assembly
are leak tested at the factory prior to
shipment.
