MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Special considerations should be made when selecting a location for your heater before installation. The most important of which should be a location that will serve to be the most functional and useful in providing heat. Suggested locations would be under an eave, on a wall of an open or partially enclosed patio, or on a fascia. This heater has been thoroughly tested and certified to function during and after mild rain storms, and during mild wind conditions. Be aware that by avoiding locations that subject your heater to constant wind or rain exposure will greatly extend the life or your new heater. Other considerations include its mounting position in relation to combustible materials. Combustible materials include wood, wood fascia, wood siding, stucco mounted over wood studs, vinyl siding, and drywall. See installation diagrams that reference mounting distances.
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Select a location that provides the most functionality.
Avoid locations that are prone to direct wind or rain exposure.
This heater provides ample heat and large heat adjustability. It does not have to be located at eye level, as, its high output will allow a distant location to still be affective.
Do not mount this heater indoors or in a totally enclosed room. It needs air to breathe and vent.
Avoid locations that are in close proximity to combustible materials (see illustration diagrams and mounting dis­tances)
Avoid locations that are so low that the installation could cause danger for those passing by.
Standard and preferred installation places the gas exit (and vented valve access cover) of the heater on the RIGHT side. This position places the gas exit and the AC adaptor cord at the REAR of the heater installation. This method is preferred, not only from a visual standpoint, but allows for slightly less pipe routing, and creates more pivot adjust­ability. There are times where right side hook up is not practical. The left side installation is still acceptable and the heater will perform equally as well. Simply consider that there will be slightly more gas line routing to perform.
Do not mount heater within a close proximity to fire sprinklers (4 ft. minimum recommended) to avoid accidental activation of the sprinklers.
It is recommended that the AC adaptor be used and the DC battery operation used as a secondary ignition source. Consider the proximity of the nearest 110V AC GFI grounded power outlet to the location of the heater. The power cord on the AC adaptor is 24 In. long and plugs directly into the right side wall of the heater. If there is no AC GFI grounded outlet near the desired installation site then one should be added by a qualified electrician. An outdoor extension cord can also be used, on a temporary basis, to bring AC power to the adaptor plug location.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
When connecting to a fixed fuel piping system the Installation must be in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z224 (in Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1 and -B149.2).
If AC power is being routed for AC/DC Transformer hook-up, then the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 shall ap­ply (in Canada the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 Part 1 and Part 2 shall apply)

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
IMPORTANT NOTES
WHERE’S THE WIND?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors such as exposure to the wind. Caution should be used when heaters are located in areas with prevailing winds.
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects heater performance.
WARNING
SPRINKLERS: This appliance must be located at an appropriate distance away from fire sprinklers (4ft min. recommended) to avoid accidental activation of sprinkler. Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol must never be used in fire sprinkler systems where heaters are present, as these substances may become flammable when heated. A fire sprinkler professional must be consulted when heaters are installed where fire sprinklers are present to insure that heaters and fire sprinklers are properly integrated. Specific guidelines can be found in NFPA 13 regarding design and specifications for fire sprinkler systems near heaters.
IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person making delivery.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of extent of damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
If damage is unnoticed until the heater is unpacked, notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and file a “concealed damage” claim with them. This should be done within (15) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.

CLEARANCE TO CONSTRUCTION
STRAIGHT MOUNTING
If the heater is to be mounted facing straight down with no angle on its pivot point, then the heater must be mounted NO CLOSER than 14” from any overhead combustible construction. The side clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12” to a side wall, and the rear clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12” to a rear wall. Use the LOWEST pair of holes in the mounting bracket extension arms. See illustration below.
ANGLED MOUNTING
If the heater is to be mounted at an angle up to 30 degrees on its pivot, then the heater must be mounted NO CLOSER than 18” from any overhead combustible construction. The side clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12” to a side wall, and the rear clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12” to a rear wall. Use the HIGHEST pair of holes in the mounting bracket extension arms. See illustration below.

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
The heater is factory set to use either propane (LP) or
GAS CONNECTION INFORMATION
Keep last two threads clean
natural gas (NAT). This heater is dedicated to one of these two gas types and it is not easily field convertible. It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the heater was set up for. You can verify that by checking the rating
plate.
The Rating plate lists model/serial numbers and gas type.
The rating plate is located in the following places:
• Attached to the top of the heater housing
Additionally, each ‘T’ or elbow that is added to the line can also reduce pressure. This drop in pressure can affect overall heater performance.
• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer to “Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run distances for ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements may reduce performance of the heater and any other appliances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible.
• A minimum pipe size of ½” is required for inlet piping. The supplied exit coupling of this heater is ½”NPT (female). A ½” lever-handled, manual gas shut-off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the appliance to allow emergency gas shut-off and provide isolation for servicing.
• Inside the valve compartment, behind the access cover
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum pressure requirements. Do not operate the heater on any gas other than that for which the heater has been set.

Water Column Requirements
It is important that the inlet gas piping system be size properly for the gas appliance that it serves. Please use the above chart for verification of the Gas Inlet Pressure required for this product.
NATURAL AND LP GAS
All gas connections must be made by a qualified technician, specifically trained in the installation of this type of gas appliance. Some states or provinces require this trained personnel be licensed. Installations must be performed in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the regulations governed by that state or provincince. To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas suppply line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that line.
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location by a qualified plumber.
• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice.
• All gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the gas supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild solution of soap and water. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. See section titled ‘Checking for Gas Leaks’ on page 17.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a pressure tap built into the valve system used on the Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater. To access this tap, remove the 2 screws which hold the louvered plate on the END CAP of the heater. Remove this plate and look for the 2 smaller, slotted, brass screws. The uppermost screw is the OUTLET pressure (as seen when the heater is pointed downward). The lower screw is the INLET pressure. To access either inlet for taking measurements, turn the screw until it becomes loose. It will not fall out, as, it is captivated in the valve. Be sure to re-tighten screw after pressure measurements have been taken (see pg 29).

A typical gas supply line might consist of ½” piping beginning at the gas supply source. This line will be routed, within the shortest possible distance, up to the vicinity of the heater location (30 Ft. MAX). This line, as previously mentioned, willhave a ½” lever- handled gas shut-off valve installed in-line, and within 6-feet of the termination point. After final heater positioning and mounting angle is created, the pipe line is then routed directly to the ½” NPT (female) coupling at the end of the heater. As an alternate to this installation, after the gas line has been routed to the vicinity of the heater, and after final positioning and pivot angle has been determined, a short gas flex line can be installed from the end of the hard pipe to the ½” NPT (female) coupling on the heater. This flex line should be 1/2” I.D. (5/8” O.D.), Stainless Steel, with ½”MIP fittings at both ends. A ½” FIP coupling will then be used to connect the flex line to the hard pipe. The use of this flex line allows for additional angle (pivot) adjustment of the heater after installation has been complete.
GAS LINE PURGING
You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to light the heater.
Slowly turn on the main gas supply.
With the gas on, loosen one connection near the heater until you either ‘hear’ gas or ‘smell gas’. Tighten connection immediately. This should purge the remaining air from the lines.
