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 Liquefied Petroleum Gas,
ANSI/NFPA 58 and/or CAN/CGA B149.2. Your local library or fire department
will have this booklet.
This heater will operate with a 20-pound propane tank. However, you can only
operate it in the LOW position during mildly cool weather. At higher heat settings
or during colder weather, you must use larger tanks.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors
decide this amount.
1. The amount of 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. Connect tanks together with a manifold.
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. Your local propane gas dealer will
help you select the proper supply system.
