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 propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the number of 45 kg
(100 lb) tanks needed to run this heater.
