PROPANE
SUPPLY
You must provide propane gas and propane tank(s).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See
Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gas,
ANSI/NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors
decide this amount.
1. The amount of liquid propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the minimum number of 100-pound tanks needed to run
the heater. Connect tanks together with a manifold. Do not operate this product
with any tank smaller than 100 pounds.
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. Two or more 100-pound tanks or one
larger tank may be needed in colder weather. Your local propane gas dealer will
help you select the proper supply system.
