Bloom 400 Greenhouse Heater
3. L.P Gas Installation Requirements
Ensure all L.P. gas containers are secured and
protected from people, vehicular traffi c and
contact. L.P. gas containers must be located on
a fl at,level, and stable surface.
Contact your local authorities, L.P. gas dealers, or fi re
marshalls for specifi cs dealing with installation in your
area.
4. The heater's gas pressure regulator (with pressure
relief valve) must be protected from adverse weather
conditions (rain, ice, snow) as well as from building
materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.) which can affect
safe operation and could result in property damage
or injury.
5. The heater's gas regulator (with pressure relief valve)
should be installed outside the building. Any regulators
located inside the building must be properly vented to
the outside. Local, state, and national codes govern
regulator installation.
6. Gas utilization equipment connected to a piping sys-
tem shall have an accessible, approved manual shut-
off valve installed within 6 ft. (1.83 m) of the heater.
7. 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 fl ame (matches, torches,
candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■ Use only approved leak detectors.
■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fi res
or explosions.
■ Fires or explosions can lead to property dam-
age, personal injury or loss of life.
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections, fi ttings
and adapters upstream of the gas control with ap-
proved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the compo-
nents 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.
Owner's Manual • Bloom 400
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to prevent
injury caused from hidden leaks that could cause
fl ashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fi ttings and joints
as well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet con-
nections with approved gas leak detectors.
-- 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 identifi ed and
repaired before proceeding.
8. A qualifi ed service agency must check for proper-
operating gas pressure upon installation of the
heater.
9. Always use pipe thread compound that is resistant
to propane and natural gas on threaded connec-
tions.
10. Light according to instructions on heater or within
owner's manual.
11. Make sure the heater has the proper gas regulator
for the application. A regulator must be connected
to the gas supply so that gas pressure at the inlet
to the gas valve is regulated within the range
specifi ed on the dataplate at all times. Contact
your gas supplier, or the L.B. White Co., Inc. if you
have any questions.
12. This heater is confi gured for use for propane gas
vapor withdrawal only. Do not use the heater
in an propane gas liquid withdrawal system or
application. If you are in doubt, contact the L.B.
White Co., Inc.
13. The heater must be installed so as not to interfere
with or obstruct normal exits, emergency exits,
doors and walkways.
14. Any thermostatic temperature control can fail.
Control failure can result in an over-heat or under-
heat condition. Always check any temperature
