Propane gas and natural gas have man-made odor-

ants added speciﬁcally for detection of fuel gas leaks.

If a gas leak occurs, you should be able to smell the

fuel gas .

THAT’S YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE

ACTION!

■Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel

gas. Do not operate any electrical switches. Do not

pull any power supply or extension cords. Do not

light matches or any other source of ﬂame. Do not

use your telephone.

■Get everyone out of the building and away from the

area immediately.

■Close all propane gas tank or cylinder fuel supply

valves, or the main fuel supply valve located at the

meter if you use natural gas.

■Propane gas is heavier than air and may settle in

low areas. When you have reason to suspect a

propane leak, keep out of all low areas.

■Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas-

supplier and your ﬁre department. Do not re-enter

the building or area.

■Stay out of the building and away from the area

until declared safe by the ﬁreﬁghters and your fuel

gas supplier.

■FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the

ﬁreﬁghters check for escaped gas. Have them

air out the building and area before you return.

Properly trained service people must repair the

leak, check for further leakages, and then relight

the appliance for you.

■Some people cannot smell well. Some people

cannot smell the odor of the man-made chemi-

cal added to propane or natural gas. You must

determine if you can smell the odorant in these

fuel gases.

■Learn to recognize the odor of propane gas and

natural gas. Local propane gas dealers and your

local natural gas supplier (utility) will be more than

happy to give you a “scratch and sniff” pamphlet.

Use it to become familiar with the fuel gas odor.

■Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being

around an odor for a period of time can affect your

sensitivity to that particular odor. Odors present in

animal conﬁnement buildings can mask fuel gas

odor.

■The odorant in propane gas and natural gas is col-

orless and the intensity of its odor can fade under

some circumstances.

■If there is an underground leak, the movement of

gas through the soil can ﬁlter the odorant.

■Propane gas odor may differ in intensity at different

levels. Since propane gas is heavier than air, there

may be more odor at lower levels.

■Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you

continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how

small, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into

action as discussed previously.

WARNING

Asphyxiation Hazard

■Do not use this radiant heater for heating human living quarters.

■Do not use in unventilated areas.

■The ﬂow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

■Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the combustion air requirements of the heater

being used.

■Refer to the speciﬁcation section of the Owner’s Manual, heater’s dataplate, or contact the LB

White Company to determine combustion air ventilation requirements of the heater.

■Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper combustion.

■Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning in humans leading to serious injury

or death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include headaches, dizziness and difﬁculty

in breathing.

■Symptoms of improper combustion affecting livestock can be disease, lower feed conversion,

or death.

H-17 • Radiant Heaters

Owner’s Manual • H-17

■Propane gas and natural gas have a distinctive

odor. Learn to recognize these odors. (Reference

“Fuel Gas Odor” and “Odor Fading” sections

above.

■If you have not been properly trained in repair and

service of propane gas and natural gas fueled

heaters, then do not attempt to light the heater,

perform service or repairs, or make any adjust-

ments to the heater on a propane gas or natural

gas fuel system.

■Even if you are not properly trained in the service

and repair of radiant heaters, ALWAYS be con-

sciously aware of the odors of propane gas and

natural gas.

■A periodic “sniff test” around the heater or at the

heater’s joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a

good safety practice under any conditions. If you

smell even a small amount of gas, CONTACT

YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO

NOT WAIT!

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Always use pipe joint compound that is resistant to

liqueﬁed petroleum gas natural gas.

7. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-

proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is

performed as follows:

General Installation Instructions

-- 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.

-- Ensure all gas leaks have been identiﬁed and

repaired before proceeding.

8. A qualiﬁed service agency must check for proper

operating gas pressures upon installation of the

heaters.

9. Use the proper gas supply line to assure proper

functioning of the heaters. Always consult your

fuel gas supplier, or the L. B. White Co., Inc. for

proper line sizing and installation.
