PROPANE SUPPLY

Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be fur- nished by the user.

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 the Propane Installation Code 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 propane gas in tank(s)

2.The temperature of tank(s)

The chart below shows the number of 100 lb. (45 kg) pound tanks needed to run this heater.

20° F (-6.7° C) to 0° F (-18° C)

3

Below 0° F (-18° C)

 

Use larger tank

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. You may need two or more 100 lb. (45 kg) tanks or one larger tank in colder weather. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the proper supply system. The minimum surrounding air temperature rating for each heater is -20° F (-29° C).

Smaller tanks can be used for limited run times but it is recommended to use larger tanks for optimum performance.
