Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual

Unvented Liquid Propane Fired Room Heater

2.  Mark screws locations on wall.
3.  Remove heater from mounting bracket.
4.  If installing bottom mounting screw into hollow 

or solid wall, install wall anchors. Follow steps 1 

through 4 under Attaching to Wall using Anchor. 

If installing bottom mounting screw into wall 

stud, drill holes at marked locations using 9/64” 

drill bit.

5.  Re-place heater onto mounting bracket.
6.  Place spacers between bottom mounting holes 

and wall anchor or drilled hole.

7.  Hold spacer in place with one hand. With the 

other hand, insert mounting screw through 

bottom mounting hole and spacer. Place tip of 

screw in opening of wall anchor or drilled hole.

8.  Tighten both screws until heater is firmly se-

cured to wall. Do not over tighten.

Note: Do not re-place front panel at this time. Re-

place front panel after making gas connections and 

checking for leaks.

Installing Support Feet (See figure 11.)

1.  Lay heater onto table on its back with bottom 

edge overhanging table edge.

2.  Securely attach feet to bottom of heater using 

2 – self-tapping screws each.

Note: Feet should have long end going out the 

front of heater, and the edge coinciding with side of 

heater. If feet overhang side of the heater, switch 

leg location.
3.  Place heater on non-combustible surface (see 

Locating Heater, page 6) before proceeding 

with gas connection. If this will be a permanent 

location, heater may be locked into position us-

ing anchoring holes in mounting feet.

Note: Use of floor mounting feet will require you to 

use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connec-

tion.

WARNING: A qualified service person must con-

nect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes. 
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8” NPT 

(National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the 

pressure regulator. Use of floor mounting feet will 

require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make 

gas connection. 

CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe. 

Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in cer-

tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of larger 

enough diameter to allow proper gas volume to heater. 

If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur. 

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, 

union and plugged 1/8” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within 

reach of test gauge hookup. NPT tap must be upstream 

from heater (see figure 12).
*A CSA/AGA certified equipment shutoff valve with 

1/8” NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge 

connection. Purchase the CSA/AGA certified equipment 

shutoff valve from your dealer. 
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an 

accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for 

turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will 

prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess 

sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater fuel train.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to 

LP-Gas. 

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in figure 

12. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for 

cleaning. A sediment trap traps moisture and con-

taminants. This keeps them from going into heater. If 

sediment trap is not installed or is installed improperly, 

heater may not run correctly.
IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench 

when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings.
