PROPANE SUPPLY
Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be furnished by the user.
Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply
system. See Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/or CAN/CGA B149.2.
Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies.
Two factors decide this amount:
1. The amount of propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
This heater is designed to operate with a minimum 20 lb. (9 kg) tank.
You may need two or more tanks or one larger tank in colder weather.
Use a 100 lb. (45 kg) tank for longer operation or in very cold weather.
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. Your local propane gas
dealer will help you select the proper supply system.
