MODELS:
INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS
OWNER/INSTALLER: For your safety this manual must be carefully read before installing, operating or
servicing this brooder. This brooder is intended for use with either Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It must be
installed by a qualified service person or a licensed contractor in accordance with state and local codes. In
the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest
edition) also know a NFPA54 or the CAN/CGA-B149.1/2 Installation Code in Canada.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury, property
damage or death. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
INSPECT all combustion air openings into the building and, if necessary, clear as they become blocked by
litter, dust, feathers or other matter.
INSPECT and clean the brooder filters on a regular basis to allow proper brooder operation.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
EXHAUST FANS MUST be operating on an appropriate cycle when brooders are
operating to avoid a high concentration of carbon monoxide. When used without fresh air, this brooder may
give off carbon monoxide, an odorless and poisonous gas. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO
DEATH. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness and nausea. If
you experience these signs, GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY! Have the brooders serviced as soon as possible
and check the ventilation in the house.
These brooders are designed for agricultural applications and may operate with the use of either Natural Gas
or Liquid Propane (LP) Gas. Check the brooder's nameplate to determine the correct gas type before
proceeding with installation.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
! DO NOT try to light any appliance.
! DO NOT touch any electrical switch; do not use any
telephone in your building.
! IMMEDIATELY call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
telephone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. If you
cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Patent Pending
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

    4.0) BROODER ASSEMBLY 1. Make sure that all components are present before assembling the brooder. The Fastener Kit contains all the nuts, screws and washers required for brooder assembly. You will need the following tools for brooder assembly: Nut Driver - Size 7/16” Crescent Wrench (2 each) STEP 1: Place the canopy over the emitter assembly and locate the (2) studs that are located above the slotted center cut out.
  • Page 7 STEP 3: Loosen the screws from the lid and remove. Route the ignition cable through the cable gland. STEP 4: Flip the emitter and canopy over. Align the burner with the holes in the canopy. Attach the burner using (2) #10-24 hex nuts. STEP 5: The gas control arm comes equipped with the manifold bracket pre-attached using a v-clamp and #10-24 screw.
  • Page 8 STEP 6: Attach the manifold support bracket to the rim of the canopy using the U-bolt, (2) 1/4-20 hex nuts, flat washers and stand-off plate. NOTE: DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN FASTENERS AT THIS STAGE YET. STEP 7: Open the swivel clamp located on the burner by carefully lifting the clamp over the latch. Place the orifice fitting into the slotted portion of the burner and latch in position by engaging the swivel clamp over the latch.
  • Page 9 STEP 8: Slide the label holder plate between the manifold support bracket and rim of canopy as shown. The control arm and burner to be in line with each other. Tighten the hex nuts from STEP 6 above after any adjustments are made.

    STEP 10: NATURAL GAS UNITS REQUIRE USE OF AN AIR RESTRICTOR CUP. Place the cup on the burner manifold tubing before attaching the gas control as shown above in STEP 7. Engage the slots from the cup with the hemmed flanges of the burner. Engage the round bosses of the cup with the holes in the burner. WARNING: ONCE THE BROODER IS ASSEMBLED AND BEFORE IT IS FIRST FIRED, YOU MUST CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! USE A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION AND APPLY AT ORIFICE FITTING AND FIELD CONNECTIONS TO THE GAS VALVE.

  • Page 13: Gas Connections

    7.0) GAS CONNECTIONS 1. Gas piping for the house must be sized to be capable of satisfying the entire demands of the house should all equipment be operating at the same time. Please use Table 1 (taken from the National Fuel Gas Code) for the sizing of piping for the house.
  • Page 14 4. Gas connections to individual brooders shall be made using flexible gas connectors, or they can utilize rubber hosing suitable for LP gas usage (to allow movement of the brooders for cleaning, etc.). Check with the authorities having jurisdiction and/or local codes prior to choosing an individual gas connection method.
  • Page 15 6. Suspend the gas hose line to the ceiling structure using safety cable. This will reduce the potential that the hose can touch the canopy when the brooder is lowered or raised. 7. It is strongly recommended that a field installed manual shut-off valve be installed in the gas piping to each brooder.

    7.1) INSTRUCTIONS FOR TESTING FOR GAS LEAKS AND PROPER GAS PRESSURE W A RN I N G : D O NO T O MI T T HE SE T E ST S ! TESTING THE INSTALLATION FOR GAS LEAKS: 1. Inspect all connections and appliance valves to be sure connections are wrench-tight and that all appliance valves are closed, including the pilot valves.

  • Page 17: Gas Pipe Sizing Example

    REGULATOR LOCK-UP AND LEAKAGE: After the leak testing and delivery pressure tests have proven satisfactory, the regulator lock-up and leakage test may be performed. The lock-up pressure of the final stage regulator should be slightly higher than, but not more than, 120% of the set delivery pressure. For example, on a delivery pressure setting of 5 PSIG, the maximum allowable lock-up pressure is 6 PSIG.
  • Page 18 STEP 3. At the Tee, calculate the total distance to the secondary regulator. In this example, that equals 20’. Using Table 1, look up the row for 20’ and select he smallest pipe size that has the capacity for the flow of all the brooders connected to the pipe system (560,000).

  • Page 22: Ventilation

    10.0) VENTILATION FOR YOUR SAFETY: Exhaust fans must be operating on an appropriate cycle when heating the building to avoid high concentrations of carbon monoxide and water vapor. The temptation, particularly during the winter months, is to close up the poultry house to conserve heat and save money.
  • Page 23 CAUTION: TURN THE GAS AND ELECTRIC (IF EQUIPPED) SUPPLIES OFF AND ALLOW THE BROODER TO COOL DOWN BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE. Inspect the flame characteristics by running the brooder with the Mechanical Ventilation OFF and Natural Ventilation by opening the doors at the end of the house. This will result in a flame that is more stable to observe.
  • Page 24 compressed air through it. NOTE: Care must be taken not to ream the orifice hole to a larger diameter as this will result in over firing the burner and potentially causing damage to the emitter. 4. Apply pipe thread sealant Part No. 05001010 PIPETITE-STIK #11175 (resistant to LP Gas) to the threads of the orifice and replace it into the orifice fitting.
