gas wells. This gas is commonly
known as wellhead gas.
IMPORTANT: Check gas line pressure before
connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure
must be within the range of pressure specified in
Figure 9, page 10. If gas line pressure is higher,
damage to the control valve could occur.

be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"
(13 mm) diameter or greater to
