GAS SUPPLY

PROPANE/LP GAS MODEL 125-R ONLY
Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be fur-
nished 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 liquid propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the minimum number of 45
kg (100 lb) tanks needed to run the heater. Connect
tanks together with a manifold.

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. Your
local propane gas dealer will help you select the
proper supply system.
NATURAL GAS MODEL 125-RN ONLY
The user must furnish the natural gas supply and
the connections to the heater.
Regulate the natural gas supply down from a mini-
mum 7" w.c. to a maximum of 1/2 psi. The natural
gas supply capacity should be able to supply a
minimum of 125 cubic feet of gas at pressure for
each heater connected to the system.
Consult your natural gas supplier for proper sizing
of the natural gas supply lines.
Follow all local ordinances and codes. In the ab-
sence of local ordinances and codes, refer to the
National Fuel Gas Code Handbook, NFPA54/ANSI
