WHEN A PROPANE (L.P.) CYLINDER IS USED IN
THE ENCLOSURE
When a propane (L.P.) cylinder is installed inside of
the enclosure, the guidelines below MUST be followed.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR
UNIT AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. Reference Fig. 9-1
and 9-2 for an example.
• Only a C.S.A. listed stainless steel connector can be
connected to the unit.
• The regulator/hose assembly coming from the cylinder
can only be connected to the above mentioned fl ex
connector. DO NOT connect the regulator/hose
assembly directly to the unit. An adapter will be
required.
• A non-combustible heatshield must be installed to
protect the regulator/hose assembly and cylinder valve.
• The cylinder must rest at least 2" above the ground.
• An additional vent opening is recommended in
the access door near the cylinder and at the gas
connection level (minimum 10 sq. in. of free area).
RHP offers an "access door with tank tray and louvers"
which includes a heatshield that rests directly above
the L.P. cylinder, a tray, and louvers to meet the cylinder
install requirements. The door is shown in Fig. 9-3.
Contact your dealer for ordering information.
