Sentry Tube Heaters
9. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved
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.
10. Install a sediment trap at the gas valve inlet to
prevent foreign materials (pipe compound, pipe
chips and scale) from entering the gas valve. Debris
blown into the gas valve may cause that valve to
malfunction resulting in a serious gas leak that could
Owner's Manual • Sentry
result in a possible fire or explosion causing
loss of products, building or even life. A properly
installed sediment trap will keep foreign materials
from entering the gas valve and protect the safe
functioning of that important safety component.
11. Any heater connected to a piping system must
have an accessible, approved manual shut off
valve installed within six feet (6 ft.) of the heater
it serves.
12. Install the proper size of gas supply line to assure
proper functioning of the heaters. Consult your fuel
gas supplier, or the L.B. White Co., LLC. for proper
line sizing and installation.
13. Light according to instructions on heater or within
Owner's Manual.
14. The heater is designed for L.P. vapor withdrawal
or natural gas only. Do not use this heater in a
propane liquid withdrawal system. Do not permit
propane in liquid form to enter the heater.
15. 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.
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 heater. 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.
18. Do not exceed input rating stamped on the
dataplate of the heater. Do not exceed the burner
manifold pressure stated on the dataplate. Do
not use an orifice size different than specified for
the specific input rating of this heater, fuel type
configuration and altitude.
