PROPANE
SUPPLY
You must provide propane gas and propane tank(s).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the
Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58. 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
at the temperature indicated for at least 10 hours. Connect tanks together with a manifold.
Do not operate this product with any tank smaller than 100 pounds. Reduced perform-
ance will result.

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. Two or more 100-pound tanks or one larger
tank may be needed in colder weather. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select
the proper supply system.
