GAS PIPING

-- 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 pressures upon installation of the

heaters.

10. It is extremely important to use the proper gas supply

line to assure proper functioning of the heaters.

Typically, 1/2 in. ID black iron pipe is used to convey

the gas to the heaters. However, always consult your

fuel gas supplier, or the L. B. White Co., Inc. for proper

line sizing and installation.

11. Infraconic heaters require a regulated gas supply to

the gas inlet of the product. Exceeding the gas inlet

pressure rating can result in poor performance and

unreliable operation. Refer to page 4 of this manual

for information on gas pressures relating to specific

models.

12. The heater is designed for either L.P. vapor withdrawal

or natural gas, depending on model number. Do not

use this heater in an LPG liquid withdrawal

system. Do not permit LPG in liquid form to enter the

heater at any time.

13. The corrosive atmosphere present in animal

confinement buildings can cause component failure or

heater malfunction. The heater should be periodically

inspected and cleaned in accordance with the

Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions in this manual.

Make sure that livestock is protected by a back up

alarm system that limits high and low temperatures

and also activates appropriate alarms.

14. Take time to understand how to operate and maintain

the heater using the owner’s manual. Make sure you

know how to shut off the gas supply to the building

and to the individual heaters. Contact your gas

supplier if you have any questions.

15. Any defects found in performing any of the service

procedures must be eliminated and defective parts

replaced immediately. Retest the heater before

placing it back into service.

■

Model I17 heaters utilize an
integral chain hanging bracket
located on the heater’s venturi
tube. Model I34 heaters use
chain hanging clips.

■

Regardless of hanging system,
the installer must make sure
that the heater is installed so
control end of heater is
positioned 1º to 5º down from
horizontal after gas supply hose
is attached.

■

Repositioning of factory
installed key ring into hanging
bracket (for I17) or adjustment
of chain for I34 may be
required.
