PROPANE SUPPLY
Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be
furnished by the user.
Use this heater only with a propane vapor
withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of
the Standard for Storage and Handling of

and/or CAN/CGA B149.2. Your local li-
brary or fire department will have this book-
let.
The amount of propane gas ready for use
from propane tanks varies. Two factors de-
cide this amount:
1.
The amount of propane gas in tank(s)
2.
The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the number of 100-
