PROPANE GAS CRITICAL POINTS
1. Propane (LP) gas has a distinctive odor. Learn
to recognize these odors.
2. DO NOT attempt to repair fuel leaks yourself.
Remove yourself from the building/area and
contact the appropriate professionals.
3. Periodically perform a sniff test around the
heater and heater joints to determine if
there is a propane (LP) gas leak. Any leak
is serious; CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE
PROFESSIONALS IMMEDIATELY.
4. Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity
at different levels. Since propane (LP) gas is
heavier than air, there may be more odor at
lower levels.
PROPANE CYLINDER CAPACITY AND SIZE
REQUIREMENTS
Utilize the chart below to determine the
appropriate size of the cylinder required.
1. Select the lowest air temperature expected
(X or Horizontal Axis).
2. Select the longest desired operation time
(Y or Vertical Axis).
3. The intersection of these points will determine
the cylinder. Use the closest curve to
determine.
For proper combustion, all heaters need:
1. Full fuel cylinder
2. Proper air circulation
3. No frost on cylinder
