LOCATE the heater where it will maximize the radiant heating capability. The NEWPORT
PROPANE HEATER is equipped with a manually operated blower fan that will blow hot air
from the top of the heater down onto the floor. This increases heating efficiency and provides
good circulation of hot air.
LOCATE so that the front and sides of the heater are at least 3 ins (75 mm) from combustible
surfaces.
LOCATE to provide easy installation of the flue and external flue cap. The mounting flange of
the thru fitting and cap requires an area of at least 6" (15cm).
LOCATE keeping in mind that the top cap gets hot and that the hot products of combustion are
being emitted when the heater is operating.
NOTE : The direct vent chimney is flexible and can be bent to provide any angle
of offset. The minimum length recommended is 2 ft (60 cm) and the maximum
length 5 ft (1.5m). The heater will work with more or less chimney length
however this may cause a slight variance in the burning characteristics.
Installing the thru-fitting and flue cap at an angle of no more than 45 degree is
not a problem.
We do not recommend installing the thru-fitting and flue cap with a horizontal
exit. If there is no other option the heater will work satisfactorily when the full
length of the exhaust pipe supplied 30 ins (75 cm) is used to achieve the 90
degree angle.

LOCATE for easy, safe access to the source of propane gas.
MOUNTING
Secure the heater mounting plate directly onto the mounting surface. No additional insulation is
required.
No screws or bolts are provided, as each installation will have different securing
requirements.
DIRECT VENT STAINLESS STEEL FLEX PIPE
Four springs are installed between the inside and outside pipe to ensure that an even air space is
provided. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT TWO SPRINGS BE LOCATED AT ANY BEND IN
ORDER TO PREVENT THE PIPES FROM TOUCHING.

The pipe is lubricated during the manufacture process. This lubricant will burn off on the first
firing of the heater.
