2. Be sure the heater is for type of gas to be used. Do not
change it to use with other gases. Unsafe operation could
result and could cause bodily injury and death.
3. It is prohibited to install the heater in a bedroom, trailer or
recreational vehicle/mobile home, etc (see exceptions on the
front page). If installed in a garage or basement, heater must
be a minimum of 24" above the floor.
4. Use joint compound (pipe dope) on threaded joints of gas
MUST
piping that is resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum
gas.
5. Use only ground joint unions in gas piping.

so that the controls and heater may be removed for servicing,
if necessary.
7. Include a 1/8 NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gauge
connection immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the heater.
AIR
8. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use soap suds

service person should service and repair this heater.
10. DO NOT PLACE CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE

flame as described in the maintenance section of this manual.
13. Disconnect the heater during supply line pressure testing.
14. Follow the lighting and operating procedures given in this

15. Since the vent-free gas heaters may easily increase the
amount of humidity in the room, the larger the burner size the
more humidity present. This can cause excessive moisture
accumulation on windows and other surfaces.

outside the house. It must be installed in a well ventilated
area away from the house. The distances must be placed as
prescribed by the law. Check local and state codes and laws
in order to comply with proper safety requirements.
