- Page 11 Mounting Secure the heater mounting plate directly onto the mounting surface. No additional insulation is required. Use appropriate fasteners for mounting. Chimney Pipe The stainless double walled flue pipe that is included with the heater is 28” (71cm) long. Four springs are between the inside and outside pipe to ensure that an even air space is provided.
- Page 12 Horizontal Flue Exit We recommend the flue be as straight as possible but also we recognize that in some installations it may be necessary to vent out of a wall. In these cases you would need to follow a specific method to ensure the draft does not slow down to the point it affects the heater.

Page 14: Low Pressure System Connection
4. Connecting the Propane Fuel This is a low pressure propane appliance. Do not use high pressure propane. The heater only operates on low pressure propane (11’ WC or 27.4 mbars) and should have a low pressure regulator (part# 19-151 or 19-163) installed within the fuel line. -
Page 15: Fan Connection
WARNING: - Never connect this heater directly to the propane/LPG supply. This heater requires an external regulator that is not supplied. After the gas connection is hooked-up, test all gas lines and connections for leaks with a soap solution. Test all lines and fittings before the heater is lit for the first time. - Page 16 Electrical 12v Fan The fan inside the heater is 12V DC .17 amps and the power supply must be brought to the wire connectors of the fans ON/OFF switch through the grommet installed at the bottom of the heater.

6. Maintenance To keep the heater operating safely and trouble free, it is recommended to periodically perform the following simple inspections: 1. Clean the outside of the heater to maintain the shining appearance of the stainless steel. Use a soft, non-flammable cleaning agent. - Page 20 Thermocouple and Orifice Cleaning The entire propane assembly is removable. Simply undo the 4 screws holding the nameplate panel and the fan control panel to the shroud. The name plate panel will lift free while the fan control panel will remain attached to the gas control.
