When removing or servicing any propane
appliance, manually close the primary shut-off
valves located on the propane tanks. This will
prevent dangerous propane leakage that could
result in an explosion and possible serious
injury. If a propane leak is suspected, have the
system inspected and repaired by a qualified
service technician as soon as possible.
Style 2
A primary manifold with flexible distribution
lines service the propane system. All
secondary lines leading to propane appliances
are made of flexible tubing. The flexible
tubing lines are of one piece with no splices
or connections between the primary manifold
and the appliance. Should a leak develop in a
flexible delivery line, the flexible distribution
line is replaced as a component. For safety
and system integrity, it is recommended that
propane distribution work be performed by
an authorized dealer or an authorized service
technician. Follow the recommended guide
lines as outlined in Propane Hose Inspection in
this section.
INSPECTION:
Inspect the rubber flexible lines twice
a year for abrasions, tears, kinks or
other signs of damage.
If a propane leak is suspected, have the
system inspected and repaired by a qualified
service technician as soon as possible.
pROpANE cONSuMpTION
Each gallon of propane produces 91,502
BTU’s of heat. Total consumption depends on
the rate of usage by each appliance and the
operating time. The stove and heating systems
typically use the most propane. In sub-freezing
temperatures and high winds, propane
consumption by the furnace can be very high.
Check the tank level often in cold weather.
Determine Fuel Consumption:
To determine about how many hours a
propane appliance will operate on one gallon
of propane, use the following formula:
Propane appliances are rated in Input
BTU (British Thermal Units). The
rating is usually stamped or printed on
tag affixed to the appliance.
One gallon of propane produces 91,502
BTU’s.
Divide the amount of BTU’s of one
gallon of propane (91,502) by the
rating on the appliance.
This formula can be useful when trying to
determine the approximate length of time a
tank of propane will last. Generally, propane
appliances do not operate continuously. An
example would be the typical cycling of the
furnace or water heater.
Determining How Long a Tank of Propane
Will Last:
Combine the BTU input totals of all
appliances and the approximate length of
time these appliances operate per day.
Multiply the number of liquid gallons in
the propane tank by 91,502.
Divide the total BTU’s of the propane
tank by the total number of BTU’s
the appliances consume. This equals
the approximate number in hours of
operation before refueling.
