PROPANE SUPPLY

You must provide propane gas and tank(s).

Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/or CAN/CGA B149.2. Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.

The amount of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors decide this amount.

1.The amount of liquid propane gas in tank(s)

2.The temperature of tank(s)

The chart below shows the minimum number of 100-pound tanks needed to run the heater. Connect tanks together with a manifold. Do not operate this product with any tank smaller than 100 pounds.
