WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use open fl ame (matches, torches,
candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■ Use only approved leak detectors.
■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fi res
or explosions.
■ Fires or explosions can lead to property
damage, injury or death.
-- Regulators mounted outside must be protected
from adverse weather conditions.
-- Regulators with pressure relief valves should be
installed outside the building.
-- Regulators installed inside should be vented
outside.
-- Local, state and national codes apply to regulator
installation.
8. Always use pipe joint compound that is resistant to
lique fi ed petroleum gas and natural gas.
9. 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 con-
nections, hose connections, fi ttings and joints as
well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet
-- If a leak is detected, check the components involved
for cleanliness in the thread areas and proper ap-
plication of pipe compound before further tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary to stop the
leak.
-- If necessary, replace the parts or components
involved if the leak cannot be stopped.
-- Ensure all gas leaks have been identi fi ed and
repaired before proceeding.
10. Install a sediment trap 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, building or even life. A properly installed
sediment trap will keep foreign materials from enter-
ing the gas valve and protect the safe functioning of
that important safety component.
11. Any brood heater connected to a piping system must
have an accessible, approved manual shut off valve
installed within 1.82 m of the brood heater it serves.
12. Install the proper size of gas supply line to assure
proper functioning of the brood heaters. Consult
your fuel gas supplier, or the L.B. White Co., Inc. for
proper line sizing and installation.
13. Light according to instructions on brood heater or
within Owner’s Manual.
14. The brood heater is designed for L.P. vapor
withdrawal or natural gas only. Do not use this brood
heater in a propane liquid withdrawal system. Do
not permit propane in liquid form to enter the brood
heater.
15. The corrosive atmosphere present in animal con-
fi nement buildings can cause component failure or
brood heater malfunction. The brood heater should
be periodically inspected and cleaned in accordance
with the Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions in
this manual. Make sure that livestock is protected
by a back up alarm system that limits high and low
temperatures and also activates appropriate alarms.
16. Take time to understand how to operate and main-
tain the brood heater using the owner’s manual.
Make sure you know how to shut off the gas supply
to the building and to the brood heater. Contact your
gas supplier if you have any questions.
