ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (Portable Models)
PH-45-30-P-LP (Liquid Propane) (for use with 20 lb. & 30 lb. propane cylinders).
Step 1
Carefully remove all packages from the main packing box. Remove the base assembly from
the interior packing box. Gently lift the tank cover off of the base assembly and set aside.
For shipping purposes, the heater head is bolted in place, inverted, inside the assembly.
Gently rotate the heater head “counterclockwise” until it is free. Discard the metal threaded
“T” that is holding the head in place. (See Figure 1)

Step 2
Remove the 53” hose from it’s packaging and thread the ½” end into the heater head. A
suitably approved pipe thread sealant must be used. Use 2 pipe wrenches to ensure a tight
and leak free fit. Remove the 3/8” x 1” bolt from the base of the heater head (Figure 2) and
set aside so as not to lose it. Slide the heater head / hose assembly into the 3” post. The top
of the post can be identified by the 3/8” hole being at the top end. Line up the 3/8” hole in
the post with the 3/8” hole in the base of the heater head, and replace the previously removed
3/8” x 1” bolt. Tighten securely.
Step 3
Replace the tank cover so that it sits down in place on the weighted base. Figure 3
Thread flexible hose down through the opening of the post support assembly and stand the
post in the assembly. Raise decorative cover to allow access to the tank storage area.
Step 4
Secure the regulator to the end of the flexible hose. Use a pipe wrench and suitably approved
gas pipe sealant to ensure a tight and leak free connection. Secure coupling nut on regulator
into the tank outlet valve on the propane cylinder (cylinder not included).
Step 5
Secure the reflector dish to top of the heater head assembly using nuts provided
Step 6
Ensure that the heater is used on a secure and level surface, maintaining the clearances to
combustibles as outlined on page 2 of this manual.
