HEATER ASSEMBLY
Sheet metal parts, particularly reflectors and vent have sharp
edges. Always use gloves when handling.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property
damage.
CUT HAZARD
The heater is completely factory assembled. The gas manifold tubing requires field assembly; the recommended
procedure is as follows:
1. Add the manifold tube and fittings. The required components are packaged inside the control box.
a. Remove the access panel. Apply pipe joint compound to the 5/8” tube x 1/2” Male NPT compression
union and screw it into the valve. The pipe joint compound should be resistant to the action of liquefied
petroleum gases.
b. Assemble the 5/8” tube x 1/2” Female NPT compression union to the opposite end of the manifold tube,
then slide the manifold tube through the hole on control box.
c. Connect the manifold tube to the valve at the compression fitting. When connecting, use a wrench to hold
the compression union on the valve.
d. Leak check the gas line up to the gas valve using soap solution method at a pressure of 14” w.c. Replace
the access panel.
