Installation Instructions
GENERAL
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L.B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of the heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualified service agency for repair or replacement.
2. Position the heater properly before use in accordance
with requirements for combustible clearances,
ground clearance, tilt angle, and to protect the heater
from livestock.
3. Position the gas hose outside of the hot zone directly
above the heater. Position the gas hose to avoid any
contact with the hot surfaces of the heater. The
optional gas supply hose kits include an in-line excess
flow valve.
4. This heater is designed specifically for the heating of
farrowing crates in swine confinement buildings.
When installed with an optional hanging kit over a
common divider panel, one heater will provide heat to
animals in adjacent crates. The hanging kits include
mounting instructions.
5. The installer must ensure the heater is hung properly
to prevent heat stress to the adult animal.
6. The heater may be located over farrowing crate
divider panels made of metal, or more commonly
used PVC or ABS materials. If t t he h h eater i i s h h ung o o ver

-- Start-up and shut down of the heaters and zone
control panel to test for proper operation.
-- Leak check of all pipe joints and hose connections.
-- Thorough cleaning of the exterior of the heater, its
inlet venturi, combustion cones and filter.
-- Thorough inspection of the heater's component
parts for corrosion, stripped threads, etc. with
subsequent parts replacement as necessary.

from L.B.White Co. as part #09703.
9. The heater's gas regulator (with pressure relief valve)
should be installed outside of building. Any
regulators inside the buildings must be properly
vented to the outside. Local, state and national codes
always apply to regulator installation. Natural gas
regulators with a vent limiting device may be mounted
indoors without venting to outdoors.
10. Any regulator mounted outside the building be
protected against the weather, par ticularly ice
formation.

gas leaks. See codes covering proper protection.
11. Always use pipe joint compound that is resistant to
liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas.
12. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved
gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed as
follows:
