General Installation Instructions
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
1. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn
off gas supply at the appliance service valve before
starting installation, and perform gas leak test after
completion of installation.
2. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use any
tools. If the knob will not operate by hand, the
control should be replaced by a qualifi ed service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
fi re or explosion.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualifi ed service agency for repair or replacement.
2. Make sure the heater is level (use a level) and
properly positioned before use. Observe and obey
all minimum safe distances of the heater to the
nearest combustible materials. Safe distances are
given on the heater dataplate and on page 4 of this
manual.
3. This heater may be installed either indoors or out-
doors. For outdoor installations, only the following
air distribution devices may be used:
-- 18 in./43.7 cm Dia. x 12 ft./3.66 m Duct: Part
#22835
-- End Diffuser: Part #23189
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LENGTH OF DUCT-
WORK OR FIELD FABRICATED DUCT, TARPS,
STOVE PIPE, ETC. ON THIS HEATER.
■ When using the ducting, ensure that bends in duct
are kept to a minimum. A maximum of two 90º
bends is allowed.
■ Reducing the number of bends will ensure that the
warm air exiting the heater fl ows freely, thereby
preventing overheating. If there are excessive
bends, the high limit switches may open.
4. The heater's gas pressure regulator (with pressure
relief valve) must be protected from adverse
weather conditions (rain, ice, snow) as well as from
Premier Ductable Heaters
building materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.)
which can affect safe operation and could result
in property damage or injury.
5. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible
tarpaulins, canvas, plastics, wind barriers,
or similar coverings shall be located at least
10 ft./3.05 meters from the coverings. The
coverings shall be securely fastened to prevent
ignition or upsetting of the heater due to wind
action on the covering or other material.
6. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-
proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is
performed as follows:
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fi ttings and adapters upstream of the gas control
with approved gas leak detectors.
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use open fl ame (matches, torches,
candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■ Use only approved leak detectors.
■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fi res
or explosions.
■ Fires or explosions can lead to property dam-
age, personal injury or loss of life.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and proper
application of pipe compound before further
tightening.
-- Furthermore, tighten the gas connections as
necessary to stop the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any leaks
are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to
prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that
could cause fl ashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fi ttings and joints
as well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet
connections with approved gas leak detectors.
