SECTION 4: MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
The heater shall be operated only on a NON-COMBUSTIBLE, level floor. Minimum clearances to combustible walls and ceil-
ings are listed below:
SECTION 5: GAS CONNECTIONS AND REGULATION
5.1. The installation must conform with local codes, or in absence of local codes, with the standard for the storage and
handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1.
5.2. This heater is intended for construction heating and it must never be used for residential/domestic heating.
5.3. Connect to the supply tank or manifold in accordance with the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54) and local building codes. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation is made.
5.4. Pipe joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
5.5. Where local codes do not prohibit, a C.S.A or U.L. approved flexible connection is recommended between the rigid pip-
ing and the heater. A union and an approved shut-off valve should be installed before the control valve inlet. The shut-
off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the union.
5.6. This appliance is equipped with a manual gas valve and an appliance regulator. The maximum supply pressure to the
appliance is 14" W.C. or 1/2 P.S.I. If the line pressure is more than the maximum supply pressure, then use a line reg-
ulator which corresponds to the supply pressure.
5.7. After gas connections have been made, make sure the heater and all gas outlets are turned off before the main gas
supply is turned on. Turn the gas pressure on and check for leaks. To check for leaks, apply a solution of soap suds to
all connections and joints or check by one of the methods listed in Appendix D of ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edi-
tion) Natural Fuel Gas Code. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
