CONNECTION TO GAS CYLINDERS
If the heater is run continuously on full output frost might form on the GAS cylinder indicating it is
starting to “FREEZE”. This condition is caused by excessive vapour withdrawal and can be
overcome by using various sizes of cylinders or multiple cylinder combinations.
To minimise the “FREEZING” effect we suggest the heater be connected to a minimum size and
quantity of Gas cylinders as follows:
•
1 X 45KG CYLINDER (Minimum only – increase bottle size/number if using in low
temperatures)
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE HOT AIR FLOW FROM THE HEATER BE
DIRECTED TOWARDS THE GAS CYLINDER TO AVOID THIS “FREEZING.”
Warning
Propane Gas Cylinders must be installed and stored in accordance with current
local requirements. Propane Gas Cylinders should always be installed connected
and replaced in a flame free atmosphere. Use Propane vapour off-take cylinders
only.
Warning
All connections have left-hand threads, and must therefore be tightened by
turning anticlockwise.
The heater is supplied complete with gas hose (a) and pressure reducer (c) with fittings (d) for
connection to the gas cylinder. The connection supplied is AU ¼” BSP flare male inlet
connection.
Warning
The installer is responsible for ensuring the correct fitting is used for the
connection to the gas cylinder. Always tighten the cylinder fitting first, and
then the pressure regulator, which has a swivel fitting.
Warning
The seal of the fittings must be checked by pouring liquid soap on them: the
appearance of bubbles indicates a possible gas leak.
