Guardian Agricultural Animal Confinement Building Heaters
General Installation Instructions
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
■ Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
■ 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.
■ 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 qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
fire or explosion.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this brood
heater. If during the installation or relocating of
brood heater, you suspect that a part is damaged
or defective, call a qualified service agency for
repair or replacement.
2. Make sure the brood heater is properly positioned
before use and is hung level, using a level.
Observe and obey all minimum safe distances of
the heater to the nearest combustible materials.
Minimum safe distances are given on the brood
heater nameplate and on page 4 of this manual.
3. Ensure the brood heater has the proper second
stage gas regulator for the application. A regulator
must be connected to the gas supply so that gas
pressure at the inlet to the gas valve is regulated
within the range specified on the brood heater's
dataplate at all times. Contact your gas supplier, or
the L. B. White Co., Inc. if you have any questions
4. Do not exceed input rating stamped on the
dataplate of the brood heater. Do not exceed the
burner manifold pressure stated on the dataplate.
Do not use an orifice size different than specified
for the specific input rating of this heater, fuel type
configuration and altitude.
5. The brood heater may be installed either indoors
or outdoors. When the brood heater is mounted
outdoors, use only the ductwork supplied in the
outdoor mounting kit.
6. For brood heaters intended for outdoor installation,
the heater is to be installed at least 46 cm above
the ground or to a height that would prevent
lockage of heater's air inlet.
7. The brood heater's gas regulator (with pressure
relief valve) should be installed outside of build-
ing. Any regulators inside the buildings must
be properly vented to the outside. Local, state
and national codes always apply to regulator
installation.
8. All gas pressure regulators must be installed in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's safety
instructions. These instructions accompany each
regulator.
9. Insure that all accessories that ship within the
brood heater have been removed from inside of
brood heater and installed. This pertains to air
diverters, hose, regulators, etc.
10. Make certain that a sediment trap is installed at
the gas valve inlet to prevent foreign materials
(pipe compound, pipe chips and scale) from
entering the gas valve. Debris blown into the
gas valve may cause that valve to malfunction
resulting in a serious gas leak that could result
in a possible fire or explosion causing loss
of products, building or even life. A properly
installed sediment trap will keep foreign materi-
als from entering the gas valve and protect
the safe functioning of that important safety
component.
11. Any brood heater connected to a piping system
must have an accessible, approved manual
shut off valve installed within 1.83 meters of the
brood heater it serves.
12. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-
proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is
performed as follows:
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use open flame (matches, torches,
candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■ Use only approved leak detectors.
■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires
or explosions.
■ Fires or explosions can lead to property dam-
age, personal injury or loss of life.
