Before installing heater and controls- your locale gas company needs to review your site and read the

Heater Using Propane Vapor
A 1,000 gallon storage tank should provide adequate vaporization to ignite the heater within its capacities.
The heater should not be used if the tank is less than 20% full. The storage tank should be equipped with
a propane regulator with an outlet pressure of range of 0 to 60 psi, set and locked at
30 psi.
If the tank is within 50 feet of the heater, 5/8” OD, type K copper tubing, or ½” schedule 80 black pipe
should be used for the gas supply line from the vapor regulator on the tank to within 3 feet of the heater, if
the tank is more than 50 feet away, use 7/8” OD type K copper tubing.
CAUTION: The gas storage tank should be at least
25 feet from the heater. Local ordinances may require
further distances.
A high pressure 3 to 5 foot flexible hose for use with
LP gas should be used to connect gas supply line directly
to heater regulator (see diagram A).
The gas supply line should be buried at least 6” below the
ground.
