General Installation Instructions
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of the heater,
you suspect that a part is damaged or defec-
tive, call a qualified service agency for repair or
replacement.
2. Position the heater properly before use in ac-
cordance with requirements for combustible clear-
ances, ground clearance, tilt angle, and to protect
the heater from livestock. Refer to Fig. 2 as well as
the specification table on page 4 in this manual, for
information on installation and clearances.
3. Position the gas hose outside of the hot zone
directly above the heater to avoid any contact with
the hot surface of the heater's canopy. Refer to
Fig. 2.
4. Insure that all accessories that you have ordered
for the heater have been removed from inside of
heater's shipping container and installed. This
pertains to gas hose, filters,etc.
5. Spark Ignition Heaters Only:
a. The heater is equipped with a three prong (ground-
ing) plug for your protection against electrical
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three prong receptacle. Failure
to use a properly grounded three prong receptacle
can result in electrical shock,personal injury, or
death.
b. The heaters may be connected to an approved
electrical supply and operated from off to full heat
output by utilizing the building's environment
controller. In this type of installation, 5 psig must be
plumbed directly to each radiant heater for proper
combustion.
6. The heater'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. Natu-
ral gas regulators with a vent limiting device may
be mounted indoors without venting to outdoors.
7. Any regulator mounted outside the building be
protected against the weather, particularly ice
formation. Ice formation can lead to overpressur-
ization of the regulator and subsequent gas leaks.
See codes covering proper protection.

8. Always use pipe joint compound that is resistant
to liquefied petroleum gas natural gas.
9. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-
proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is
performed as follows:
Fire, Burn, 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 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.
-- Further tighten the gas connections as neces-
sary 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 hose
connections, fittings and joints as well as the gas
control valve inlet and outlet connections 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.
