Page 3: Safety
SAFETY We value the safety of everyone using our products and Catco catalytic heaters have an outstanding track record of safety. They’re ideal heating solutions for many applications because they never require or produce a flame or spark during any phase of their operation. -
Page 4: Fuel Gas Set-Up
FUEL GAS SET-UP Catco catalytic heaters are best operated at a pressure of 4.5 inches water column (wc) for natural gas fueled heaters or 11 inches wc for LP gas fueled heaters. Operating pressures in Table 1 below indicate the flowing pressure measured at the heater orifice. -
Page 5: Electrical Set-Up
ELECTRICAL SET-UP When applicable, the heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or current Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. Before the catalytic reaction can begin, the catalyst bed must be preheated to approximately 250° F (121° C). This is accomplished by energizing internal electric heating elements using the voltage specified on the heater’s label. - Page 6 Table 2.

Page 8: Operation
MAINTENANCE Catco catalytic heaters contain no moving parts and maintenance is minimal. Sheet metal surfaces may be cleaned to prevent rust or corrosion, but take care to protect the face of the heater from contact with water, cleaners, or other foreign substances. If an area is being cleaned with high pressure water spray or air pressure, shield the face of the heater, as the catalyst can be damaged by water or rough contact.
