PROPANE GAS INSTALLATIONS

WARNING

TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSED BY A PROPANE GAS LEAK, INSTALL A GAS DETECTING WARNING DEVICE. SINCE RUST CAN REDUCE THE LEVEL OF ODORANT IN PROPANE GAS, A GAS DETECTING WARNING DEVICE IS THE ONLY RELIABLE WAY TO DETECT A PROPANE GAS LEAK. CONTACT A LOCAL PROPANE GAS SUPPLIER ABOUT INSTALLING A GAS DETECTING WARNING DEVICE.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Propane gas conversion kits must be installed to convert units to propane gas.

All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters (See NBFU Manual 58).

For satisfactory operation, propane gas supply pressure must be within 9.7 - 10.3 inches W.C. at the manifold with all gas appliances in operation. Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:

1.Vaporization rate, which depends on (a) temperature of the liquid, and (b) wetted surface area of the container or containers.

2.Proper pressure regulation.

3.Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size required will depend on length of pipe run and total load of all appliances.

TANKS AND PIPING

Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization, recommended regulator settings and pipe sizing is available from most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.

Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead or most standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be used. Shellac base compounds resistant to the actions of liquefied petroleum gases such as Gasolac®, Stalactic®, Clyde’s® or John Crane® are satisfactory.

See below for typical propane gas piping.

WARNING

TO PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSED BY A PROPANE GAS LEAK, INSTALL A GAS DETECTING WARNING DEVICE.

IF THE PROPANE GAS UNIT IS INSTALLED IN AN EXCAVATED AREA OR A CONFINED SPACE, A WARNING DEVICE IS REQUIRED DUE TO:

•PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND ANY LEAKING GAS CAN SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES.

•PROPANE GAS ODORANT MAY FADE, MAKING THE GAS UNDETECTABLE EXCEPT WITH A WARNING DEVICE.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

THERMOSTAT LOCATION

Mount the thermostat approximately five feet above the floor, in an area that has an inside, vibration-free wall and has good air circulation.
