General Installation Instructions
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
■ Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
■ To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn
off gas supply at the appliance service valve before
starting installation, and perform gas leak test after
completion of installation.
■ Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use any
tools. If the knob will not operate by hand, the
control should be replaced by a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
fire or explosion.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualified service agency for repair or replacement.
2. Make sure the heater is properly positioned before
use and is hung level (use a level). Observe and
obey all minimum safe distances of the heater to
the nearest combustible materials. Minimum safe
distances are given on the heater data plate and
on page 4 of this manual.
3. For indoor installation and use only. Adequate
ventilation shall be provided in accordance with
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.154, Safety Requirements for
Temporary and Portable Space Heating Devices
and Equipment, ANSI A10.10, National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, Liquified Petroleum
Gas Code, NFPA 58 or the Natural gas and
Propane Installation Code, CAN B149.1, as
appropriate.
4. LP gas installation requirements (when using LP
gas supply cylinders). All cylinders shall be:
-- Secured against tip over.
-- Located on a flat, level, stable surface.
-- Protected from people, vehicular traffic and contact.
5. The heater shall not be used with ductwork.
DO NOT attach any ducting to the heater's hot- air
discharge, otherwise heater or property
damage may occur.

6. The heater shalled be installed so that it is not
directly exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping
water.
7. The unit's gas regulator (with pressure relief
valve) should be installed outside of building.
Any regulators inside the buildings must be
properly vented to the outside. Local, state
and national codes always apply to regulator
installation.
8. Ensure that all accessories that ship with the
heater have installed. This pertains to air divert-
ers, hose, regulators, etc.
9. Ensure that a sediment trap is installed 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 result in a possible
fire or explosion causing loss of products, build-
ing 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.
10. Any heater connected to a piping system must
have an accessible, approved manual shut off
valve installed within 6 ft. (1.83 m) of the heater.
11. 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 dam-
age, personal injury or loss of life.
-- 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
