PROPANE SUPPLY
Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be
furnished 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/or 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 de-
cide this amount.
1. The amount of liquid propane gas in
tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the minimum num-
ber of 45 kg (100 lb) tanks needed to run the
heater. Connect tanks together with a mani-
fold. Do not operate this product with any
tank smaller than 45 kg (100 lb).
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures.
You may need two or more 45 kg (100 lb.)
tanks or one larger tank in colder weather.
Your local propane gas dealer will help you
select the proper supply system. The mini-
mum surrounding air temperature rating for
each heater is -29°C (-20°F).
