INSTALLATION
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY USING GAS HOSE ASSEMBLY
WARNING: A qualified service technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting into gas
piping and/or fittings.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (Propane or Natural Gas).
WARNING: Do not overtighten gas connections.
IMPORTANT: When using a gas hose assembly, the unit must be wall mounted and only installed in
a recreational or commercial enclosure. Units being installed using rigid piping may be wall mounted
and may be installed in residential dwellings and after market, permanently located manufactured
(mobile) homes, when permitted by local codes.
Connecting Gas Supply to Heater
1. Locate an elevated and level surface, such as a table, and
place a padded surface on it (cloth, cardboard, etc...) to prevent
scratching to the surface and/or heater.
2. Carefully place heater on top of the padded surface and on its
back
3. Apply thread sealant approved for liquid propane gas (not in-
cluded), to the 3/8" NPT end of the brass adaptor (included), that
screws into the regulator (See Figure 18). Apply pipe joint seal-
ant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged
heater valves.
WARNING: Failure to use a thread sealant that is approved
for use with propane when securing the adaptor to the regulator
may result in a gas leakage, fire, property damage, personal
injury or death.
4. Thread the adaptor into the heater's regulator; start hand-tight-
ening, and then fully tighten with a wrench (See Figure 19).
5. Thread the gas hose (included) onto adaptor (See Figure 19)
6. Complete the connection by connecting the gas hose to the
LP tank
Caution
• The LP gas cylinder used with this appliance must be:
(a) Constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and
(b) Provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
(c) Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connector for
outdoor cooking appliances. This heater is not intended to be used in or installed
on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
• Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure
to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
• An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
•Only use the regulator and hose assembly provided! If a replacement is necessary,
please call our customer service center. Do not use replacement parts that are not intend-
ed for this heater.
Connect the gas hose to the LP tank.
