This hose, coupler, and shut-off valve assembly comply with all UL standards.  DO NOT attempt any 
modifications to this hook-up. 

 

You have now finished the assembly of the heater.  We have tried to design your Patio Comfort heater 
with the finest materials and safety systems available.  Please do not try to modify any part of the 
product, the feed line assembly, natural gas regulator, or quick disconnect connections. 
 
These are high quality components designed to provide you with maximum convenience and flexibility 
and more importantly to maximize the safety to you and your family. 
  
Our unique double quick connect system allows you to safely detach the hose set from the heater 
when not in use.  If your dealer has not included this hook-up kit with your heater go back to the dealer 
and insist that they provide it to you.  The hose kit is an integral part of the heater and will add greatly 
to the safety and convenience of the product. 

 

 

Step 15:

  Always be sure to use the dust plug 

when the heater is not in use. 
(See Figure #15) 

Step 16:  Please Note

:  The end of the hose set that 

attaches to your home natural gas supply also has a 
quick disconnect coupler and state of the art shut- off 
safety valve for your safety and convenience. As an 
added feature when the“ON and OFF” black control 
knob on the shut-

off valve is in the “ON” position you 

cannot inadvertently remove the hose from the coupler 
while the heater is in operation.  (See Figure #16) 

 

Figure #16 

Step 17:

  If your patio heater is being placed in a 

location or on a surface where you have concerns 
over it being tipped or knocked over during operation 
we have provided three optional mounting brackets 
with screws for your use.  If the heater will be used in 
a commercial application these brackets may be 
required.  (See Figure #17)  

Please check your local 

codes.
