The heater is shipped from the factory for LP(Propane) gas. This heater is for use with propane gas only, do not convert heater to any other gas. Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence, with the standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1

The minimum and maximum inlet pressures to the regulator from the gas tank are 5 psi and bottle pressure, respectively. Use only the regulator & hose assembly provided with the heater. Inspect the regulator/hose assembly prior to each use of the heater. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or hose is cut, replace with regulator/hose assembly listed on the parts list prior to using this heater.
