10,000 AND 6,000 BTU/HR PROPANE/LP GAS HEATER

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

NOTICE: A qualified service per- son must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator be- tween the heater and propane/LP supply.

Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, ground joint union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be up- stream from heater (see Figure 13).

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal- ant that is resistant to liquid pe- troleum (LP) gas.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 13. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi- ment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas pip- ing and/or fittings.

The installer must supply an external regu- lator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incom- ing gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure

12.Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

nally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe 3/8" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

*An A.G.A. design certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional A.G.A. design certified manual shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessory, page 14.

CGP10L, CGP6L specifications

Desa's CGP10L and CGP6L are two innovative gas-powered heating solutions designed for both residential and commercial applications. These models highlight an impressive combination of efficiency, convenience, and modern technology tailored to meet diverse heating needs.

The CGP10L is a robust heater with a capacity of 10,000 BTUs, making it an ideal choice for larger spaces or areas requiring extensive heating. In contrast, the CGP6L offers a slightly lower output of 6,000 BTUs, perfect for smaller rooms or as supplemental heating in larger environments. Both models are designed to deliver reliable warmth while maintaining energy efficiency, which is crucial for cost-effective household management.

One of the standout features of the CGP10L and CGP6L is the use of advanced infrared technology. This technology allows for quick and efficient heating by warming objects and people directly rather than merely heating the air. As a result, users can experience immediate comfort without the typical waiting times associated with traditional heating systems.

In terms of design, both models feature a compact and lightweight construction, enabling easy portability. This is particularly beneficial for users who may want to move their heater from room to room or even take it outdoors. The built-in safety features, such as automatic shut-off functions and tip-over protection, enhance the safety profile of these units, making them suitable for various living conditions.

Moreover, Desa has incorporated user-friendly controls in both models, allowing users to adjust the heat output according to their comfort preferences. The straightforward operation ensures that even those who are not technically inclined can benefit from these powerful heating systems.

The fuel efficiency of the CGP10L and CGP6L is another attractive characteristic, as both models are designed to minimize gas consumption while maximizing heat output. This not only contributes to lower utility bills but also aligns with eco-friendly practices.

In conclusion, Desa's CGP10L and CGP6L heaters stand out in the market due to their modern technology, efficiency, portability, and safety features. Whether for residential or commercial use, these models provide a reliable heating solution tailored to meet the varying demands of consumers.
