9. Ensure that a sediment trap is installed at the
gas valve inlet to prevent foreign materials (pipe
compound, pipe chips and scale) from entering
the gas valve. Debris blown into the gas valve
may cause that valve to malfunction resulting in
a serious gas leak that could result in a possible
fi
re or explosion causing loss of products, build-
ing or even life. A properly installed sediment
trap will keep foreign materials from entering the
gas valve and protect the safe functioning of that
important safety component.
10. Any heater connected to a piping system must
have an accessible, approved manual shut off
valve installed within 6 ft. (1.83 m) of the heater.
11. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-
proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is
performed as follows:
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fi
ttings and adapters upstream of the gas control
with approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and proper
application of pipe compound before further
tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to stop
the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any leaks
are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to pre-
vent injury caused from hidden leaks that could
cause
fl
ashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
General Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
■
Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
■
To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn
off gas supply at the appliance service valve before
starting installation, and perform gas leak test after
completion of installation.
■
Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use any
tools. If the knob will not operate by hand, the
control should be replaced by a quali
fi
ed service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
fi
re or explosion.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
quali
fi
ed service agency for repair or replacement.
2. Make sure the heater is properly positioned before
use and is hung level (use a level). Observe and
obey all minimum safe distances of the heater to
the nearest combustible materials. Minimum safe
distances are given on the heater data plate and
on page 4 of this manual.
3. The heater is approved for indoor use only.
4. LP gas installation requirements (when using LP
gas supply cylinders). All cylinders shall be:
-- Secured against tip over.
-- Located on a
fl
at, level, stable surface.
-- Protected from people, vehicular traf
fi
c and contact.
5. The heater shall not be used with ductwork.
6. The heater shalled be installed so that it is not
directly exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping
water.
7. The unit’s gas regulator (with pressure relief valve)
should be installed outside of building. Any regula-
tors inside the buildings must be properly vented
to the outside. Local, state and national codes
always apply to regulator installation.
8. Ensure that all accessories that ship with the
heater have installed. This pertains to air diverters,
hose, regulators, etc.
