Technical Data: Model NPC05
This unit is designed and configured
for use with Natural Gas Only.
Fuel
:
Natural Gas
Heating:
Each
Patio Comfort
heater will cast a 10-
12 foot circle of sun like radiant heat. Heat output
will vary based on “wind chill” factor, outside air
temperatures, altitude, prevailing wind conditions,
and location of heater.
Infrared heaters utilize virtually 100% of the
fuel/energy they consume to produce clean draft-
free warmth
. Infrared heaters do not waste
precious energy by trying to heat the air.
Infrared heat works like the radiant rays of the sun
and will directly heat objects near them such as
people, tables, chairs who in turn will absorb the
heat and reflect it. The push button Piezo ignition
system is used to light the pilot flame first. After the
thermocouple device allows gas to flow to the main
burner head
you may then safely engage the main
burner
system by turning valve control knob to “ON”
Setting.
Pressure:
The unit is equipped with an external
Natural Gas Regulator (supplied with heater) preset
to
4.5 Inches Water Column
.
This specially
designed regulator, fuel line, and natural gas
fuel source shut-off kit must be used with this
appliance
. Hose, couplers, and shut-off
components are CSA (AGA) approved and should
meet all local codes and ordinances in U.S. and
Canada. Check your local codes agency if you have
any questions. Complies with ANSI Z 21.54

Function of Heater
After the main burner is lit the burner will radiate
heat in a 360-degree circle. The circle of warmth
will vary dependent on outdoor temperatures, wind
chill factor, area protection, and other variables.
The average heating area is approximately a 10-foot
ring of warmth. The reflector will return upwardly
radiated heat downwards. On first use please allow
heater to burn a few minutes to burn off machining
oils used in the production of the heater.
Please note:
Upon first using the heater, not
using the heater for an extended period, or
after re-attaching the 12 foot hose to the
unit, it may be necessary to depress the
control knob at the “PILOT” setting up to
two minutes to purge the air in the hose and
fuel lines before the PILOT flame will ignite.
Please be patient, this is all part of the safety
system that has been designed for your
protection.
