PROPANE
You must provide the propane gas and cylinder(s). Use this
heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system.
Refer to Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas , ANSI/NFPA 58. Your local library or
fire department will have this booklet.
LP Characteristics:
- Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and
pools in low areas.
- In its natural state, propane has no odor, but for your safety an
odorant that smells like rotten cabbage has been added.
- Contact of propane (LP) gas with the skin can cause freeze
burns.
- Heater is manufactured for use with LP gas only. DO NOT
attempt to convert to any other gas. Such modifications are
dangerous, and will void warranty.
- When heater is not in use, LP cylinder must be turned OFF
- Be sure that the LP cylinder is located on a level and stable sur-
face.
- Do not use this heater in a basement or below ground level.
Propane (LP) is heavier than air, and will always seek the low-
est level. If you suspect a leak, shut off the valve at the LP
cylinder immediately.
The Propane (LP) cylinder must also be equipped with the
following:
- A collar to protect the gas valve.
- A shut-off valve terminating a LP cylinder valve outlet as
specified in the American National Standard for Compressed
Gas Cylinder Valve Outlets and Inlet Connections.
- A safety relief valve having direct communications with the
vapor space of the LP cylinder.
- An arrangement of vapor withdrawal.
The amount of LPG used with this heater varies. Both factors
are:
1. The amount of gas in the cylinder of LPG.
2. The temperature of the LP tank and its surroundings.
