cording to procedures of the National L. P. Association.

Be sure fuel supply system complies with all local codes

for L. P. gas installations.

PROPANE VAPOR MODELS

1. Propane vapor models are de-

signed to run directly off of sup-

ply tank or from a separate ex-

ternal vaporizer.

2. Run proper size line (see speci-

fications) to pipe train on heater.

Have a qualified gas service

person inspect installation to be

sure everything is installed ac-

cording to local codes and ordi-

nances.

3. After installation is complete

check all connections for leaks.

DO NOT USE FLAME FOR

LEAK TESTING. (See above for

other precautions.)

NATURAL GAS MODELS

1. Natural gas models are similar

to vapor models, but have a

larger orifice to accommodate

lower pressure sometimes

found with natural gas.

2. Run proper size line (see speci-

fications) to pipe train on heater.

Have a qualified gas service

man inspect installation to be

sure everything is installed ac-

cording to local codes and ordi-

nances.
