INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only propane/LP gas. If your gas supply is
not propane/LP, do not install heater. Call
dealer where you bought heater for proper
type heater.

INSTALLATION ITEMS

Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below:

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• ground joint union

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

* An CSA design-certified equipment
shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an ac-
ceptable alternative to test gauge connec-
tion. Purchase the optional CSA design-
certified equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer. See Accessories, page 20.

 WARNING: A qualified ser-

vice person must install heater.
Follow all local codes.

 WARNING: Maintain the mini-

mum clearances shown in Figure
4. If you can, provide greater clear-
ances from floor, ceiling, and join-
ing wall.

 CAUTION: If you install the

heater in a home garage
• heater pilot and burner must be

at least 18 inches above floor

• locate heater where moving ve-

hicle will not hit it

IMPORTANT: 

Vent-free heaters add mois-

ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing heater in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, 
pages 4 through 6.

 CAUTION: This heater creates

warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to
heater. Installing heater next to
vinyl or cloth wall coverings or
operating heater where impurities
(such as tobacco smoke, aromatic
candles, cleaning fluids, oil or
kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air
exist, may discolor walls.

 WARNING: Never install the

heater
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, cloth-

ing, or other flammable objects
are less than 36 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the heater

• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas

You can locate heater on floor, away from a
wall. An optional floor mounting stand is
needed. Purchase the floor mounting stand
from your dealer. See Accessories, page 20.

NOTICE: This heater is intended for
use as supplemental heat. Use this
heater along with your primary heat-
ing system. Do not install this heater
as your primary heat source. If you
have a central heating system, you
may run system’s circulating blower
while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power out-
age, you can use this heater as your
primary heat source.

LOCATING HEATER

This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall.

Figure 4 - Mounting Clearances As Viewed
From Front of Heater

For convenience and efficiency, install heater

• where there is easy access for operation,

inspection, and service

• in coldest part of room

An optional fan kit is available from your
dealer. See Accessories, page 20. If plan-
ning to use fan, locate heater near an
electrical outlet.
