General Installation Instructions

1. Read all safety precautions and follow L.B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If during
the installation of the heater, you suspect that a part is
damaged or defective, call a qualified service agency
for repair or replacement.
2. A qualified service agency must check the heater upon
installation and periodically. This shall consist of the
following:
-- Start up and shut down of the heaters to test for proper
operation.
-- Leak check all gas pipe joints and gas hose
connections.
-- Gas pressure checks.
-- Ensuring the heater is properly positioned away from
combustible materials.
3. Heater installation must take into consideration proper
hanging height to allow for clearance of catching ma-
chines, litter spreaders, and any other equipment used.
4. Ensure the heater installation does not interfere with
water, gas, or electrical lines.
5. Position the gas hose to prevent any contact with the
tube, heat reflector, and burner box.
6. Ensure that all accessories that ship with the heater
have been removed from shipping containers and in-
stalled. This pertains to gas hose, regulators, supports,
hangers, etc.
7. This heater requires a regulated gas supply to its gas
inlet :
-- The regulator must be the proper design for the
application.
-- The regulator must control the inlet pressure to the
heater within the range specified on the dataplate.
-- Regulators mounted outside must be protected from
adverse weather conditions.
-- Regulators with pressure relief valves should be
installed outside the building.
-- Regulators installed inside should be vented outside.
-- Local state and national codes apply to regulator
installation. Refer to NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code,
and NFPA 58, Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquified Petroleum Gas.

8. Always use pipe joint compound that is resistant
to liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas.
9. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-
proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is
performed as follows:
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use open flame (matches, torches,
candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■ Use only approved leak detectors.
■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires
or explosions.
■ Fires or explosions can lead to property
damage, injury or death.
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fittings and adapters upstream of the gas
control with approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check
the components involved for cleanliness and
proper application of pipe compound before
further tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to
stop the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any
leaks are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to
prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that
could cause flashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fittings and
joints as well as the gas control valve inlet and
outlet
-- 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.
