-- 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.
11. A qualified service agency must check for proper
operating gas pressures upon installation of the
heaters.
12. 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.
13. Infraconic heaters require a regulated gas supply to
the gas inlet. Exceeding the gas inlet pressure rating
can result in poor per formance and unreliable
o p e r a t i o n . Re fe r to p a g e 4 o f t h i s m a n u a l fo r
information on gas pressures relating to specific
models.
14. The heater is designed for either L.P. vapor withdrawal
or natural gas, depending on model number. Do not
u s e t h i s h e a te r i n a n L P G l i qu i d w i t h d r awa l
system. Do not permit LPG in liquid form to enter the
heater at any time.
15. T h e c o r ro s i ve a t m o s p h e r e p r e s e n t i n a n i m a l
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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
ATTENTION
■
Infraconic heaters use an
integral hanging bracket with
key ring for hanging the heater.
■
Attach only steel cable or chain
to the key ring. Do not use
combustible hanging materials
such as ropes, lines, etc.
■
The installer must make sure
that the heater is hung so
control end of heater is
positioned 1º to 5º down from
horizontal after gas supply hose
is attached.This allows proper
venting of heater and eliminates
potential heat damage to
optional dust filter.
■
Repositioning of factory installed
key ring into hanging bracket
may be required.
