OWNER’S MANUAL
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the propane/LP supply.
This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the
external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.
The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming
gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water.
If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down. Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.
Providing Gas Piping to Furnace
You must provide gas piping from gas source to furnace. The gas piping must be in a vertical
position where it connects to the furnace. This prevents interference with front cover
installation.
Consult your local gas company for proper routing of the gas lines.
Pipe size is determined by the length of pipe from the gas source to the furnace and the total
BTU load on the gas source.
Add the total BTUs required for all appliances connected to the gas source including this furnace.
Divide this number by 2500. This will give you the approximate cubic feet per hour needed.
Example:
40,000 BTU/Hr
+ 15,000 BTU/Hr for other gas appliances
55,000 BTU/Hr total
55,000
÷
2500 = 22
Locate 22 or higher on chart below.
According to the chart below, you should use 40 feet or less of 3/8" pipe, 125 feet
or less of 1/2" pipe, etc...

IMPORTANT:
Check gas line pressure at gas meter before connecting furnace to gas line. Gas
line pressure must be no less than 11 inches of water and no greater than 13 inches of water.
Gas pressures and input to the burners must not exceed the rated input and pressure shown on
the rating plate. For propane/LP gas, manifold pressure should be 10 inches of water. For
elevations above 2000 feet, reduce rating 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level (U.S.A. only).
