GAS REQUIREMENTS & LEAK TESTING 

 

 

 

NEVER CONNECT AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY TO THE HEATER 

PRECAUTIONS

 

Periodically check the whole gas system for 
leaks or immediately check if the smell of 
gas is detected 

 

Extinguish all open flames. 

 

Never leak test while smoking. 

 

If you cannot stop a leak, turn off the gas 
supply and call the Customer Service hotline, 
the dealer where you made the purchase or 
your gas supplier. 

 

The heater must be checked with a full 
cylinder. 

 

Do not use the heater until all connections   

have been leak tested and do not leak. 

 

 

 

Only those parts recommended by the 
manufacturer should be used. Substitution 
can void the warranty. 

 

GAS REQUIRMENTS 

 

Maximum inlet pressure to propane 
regulator must not exceed 100 PSI.   

 

A minimum supply pressure of 11.0 W.C. is 
required for the purpose of input adjustment 
for propane gas. 

 

The pressure regulator and hose assembly 
supplied with the appliance must be used. 
Replacement pressure regulator and hose 
must be specified by the appliance 
manufacturer. 

 

The installation must conform with local 
codes or in the absence of local codes, with 
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1-1996. 

 

The heater comes equipped with a hose 
assembly for hook-up to a standard                   

 

A dented, rusted or damaged propane tank 
may be hazardous and should be checked by your 
tank supplier. Never use a propane tank with a 
damaged valve connection. 

 

The propane tank must be constructed and 

marked in accordance with the specifications for 
LP gas cylinders of the US Department Of 
Transportation (DOT) 

 

  The propane tank must be arranged to provide     

for vapor withdrawal from the operating 

cylinder 

 

Never connect an unregulated propane tank   

to the heater 

 
LEAK TESTING   

 

 

Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at 
the factory prior to shipment a complete gas 
tightness check must be performed at the 
installation on site due to possible miss handing 
in shipment or excessive pressure being applied 
to the heater.   

 
TO LEAK TEST   
 

 

Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent 
and one part water. The solution can be applied 
with a spray bottle brush or rag. Soap bubbles 
will appear where a leak is present 

 

Make certain the safety control valve is in the 
‘OFF’ position 

 

Turn the gas supply ‘ON’. 

 

If a leak is present turn ‘OFF’ the gas supply, 
tighten any leaking fitting, turn gas supply ‘ON’   

gas tank.  The propane tank is not included.        and recheck.
