proper application of pipe compound before

further tightening. 

-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to

stop the leak.

-- After all connections are checked and any

leaks are stopped, turn on the main burner.

-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to

prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that

could cause flashback.

-- With the main burner in operation, check all

connections, hose connections, fittings and

joints as well as the gas control valve inlet and

outlet connections with approved gas leak

detectors.

-- If a leak is detected, check the components

involved for cleanliness in the thread areas

and proper application of pipe compound

before further tightening.  

-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary to

stop the leak.

-- If necessary, replace the parts or components

involved if the leak cannot be stopped.

-- Ensure all gas leaks have been identified and

repaired before proceeding.

9. A qualified service agency must check for proper

operating gas pressure upon installation of the

heater.

10. Light according to instructions on heater or within

owner's manual.

11. The heater must have the proper gas regulator for the

application.  Use only the L.B. White regulator

originally supplied with the heater.  This regulator

includes a POL fitting incorporating an excess flow

valve.  The excess flow valve is a safety device which

protects against discharge from the propane gas

supply container if the regulator is broken off.  If the

POL fitting is ever replaced, it needs to be replaced

with an L.B. White POL fitting.  Failure to do so can

result in fires, explosions, loss of property, injury or

death.

12. A regulator must be connected to the gas supply so

that the pressure to the inlet of the gas control valve

is regulated within the range specified on the

dataplate at all times.  Contact your gas supplier or

the L.B.white Co., if you have any questions.

13. This heater is configured for use for propane gas

vapor withdrawal only.  Do not use the heater in an

propane gas liquid withdrawal system or application.

If you are in doubt, contact the L.B. White Co., Inc.

14. The heater must be installed so as not to interfere

with or obstruct normal exits, emergency exits, doors

and walkways.

15. Railing, fencing or suitable substitute materials must

be used to keep the heating equipment from any

people using and visiting the structure.

16. The unit shall be located so that rain, ice, or snow

drainage from the structure does not af fect

equipment operation.  If the unit is mounted outside,

it must be mounted above any pooled or standing

water.  If the unit is to be located on the ground, a

surrounding trench is recommended to drain any rain,

ice or snow away from the unit.

17. The ground and surrounding terrain must be cleared

of any combustible vegetation and other combustible

materials when the heater is mounted outside.

18. Eventually, like all electrical/mechanical devices, the

thermostat can fail.  Thermostat failure may result in

an underheating condition.  The thermostat should be

tested to make sure it turns the heater on and off

within a temperature differential of ±3°F (±1.5 °C).

19. Take time to understand how to operate and maintain

the heater by using this Owner’s Manual.  Make sure

you know how to shut off the gas supply to the

building and also to the individual heater.  Contact

your fuel gas supplier if you have any questions.

20. Any defects found in performing any of the service or

maintenance procedures must be eliminated and

defective parts replaced immediately.  The heater

must be retested by properly qualified service

personnel before placing the heater back into use.

The vaporization of propane is affected by several factors:

the surface area of the container, the liquid level of

propane, temperature surrounding the container, and the

relative humidity.  All of these factors are specific to a site.

Therefore, a degree of experience and judgement is

required to select the proper propane supply.

Although experience is the best guide, the following

recommendations can be used as a starting point.  The

table is based on experience in northern climates where

cold weather and high humidity are prevalent in the winter.

If more or less favorable conditions prevail at a specific site,

adjustments can be made on the basis of experience.
