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 propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
This heater is designed to operate with a
minimum 9 kg (20 lb) propane tank. You
may need two or more tanks or one larger
tank in colder weather. Use a 45 kg (100 lb)
tank for longer operation or in very cold
weather. Less gas is vaporized at lower tem-
peratures. Your local propane gas dealer will
help you select the proper supply system. The
minimum surrounding air temperature rating
for each heater is -29°C (-20°F).
