Gas Supply and Connection
Do not use high pressure propane
. The heater operates only on low pressure LPG
gas (11"w/c / 0.5psi / 27.4 mB).
If there is a propane fuel system installed a separate supply line must be supplied for the
heater. This line must be equipped with a low-pressure regulator (Dickinson Part No. 19-
151).
Connect to the 3/8" flare connector of the heater with copper or an 3/8 dia. approved
hose. During this procedure some particles may get into the fuel line. These could block
or restrict the small heater orifice.
Blow out fuel line prior to attaching to the propane supply and the heater.
Disposable Propane Bottle
It is necessary to install a pressure regulator for gas supplied from a propane bottle. For
this type of installation we recommend using a Dickinson Low Pressure Kit (Part No. 19-
150) This Kit includes a pressure regulator (11 inch W/C) and a mounting kit. The kit
must be mounted outside. A Dickinson AGA/CGA propane hose can be used to connect
this Kit to the heater. Hoses are available in 10 ft ( 3m) (Part No. 19-100-10) or 20 ft
(6m) (Part No. 19-100-20)
ATTENTION , DANGER:
1.
Never connect propane/LPG heater directly to the propane/LPG supply.
This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the
external regulator between the heater and propane/LPG supply.
2.
After gas hook-up and before lighting the heater, test all gas lines and
connections for leaks with a soap solution.
