LP Gas Tank Installation
CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE
- LP Gas heater models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank, not included with heater. Never connect your gas heater to an LP Gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP Gas tank to use. You must use an “OPD” gas tank which offers a listed Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents the tank from being overfilled which can cause a malfunction of the LP Gas tank, regulator and/or heater.
- The LP Gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.
- The LP Gas tank must have a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP Gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device.
- The LP Gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct connection with the vapor space of the tank.
- The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
- The LP Gas tank must have a collar to protect the tank valve. If the collar is damaged in any way, the tank must be replaced prior to using the heater.
- Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas heater. The gas regulator assembly supplied with your gas heater is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 11″ water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas heater. Replacement regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by Grand Hall.
- Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects.
- Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position. Do not subject the LP Gas tank to excessive heat.
- If you store your gas heater in the garage always disconnect the LP Gas tank first and store it safely outside.
- Never store an LP Gas tank indoors. LP Gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
- The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after opening the door and must be inspected before each use of the heater. If the hose is damaged in any way, it must be replaced prior to using the heater again.
- Never allow children to operate your heater. Do not allow children or pets to play near your heater. Always supervise children and pets if they are in the vicinity of the heater.
- Use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs can impair your ability to properly assemble and safely operate your heater.
- Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the event of a fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Use type B extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
- In the event of rain, turn off the burner and gas supply. Wait for the heater to cool and then cover the heater.
- Use your heater on a level, stable surface in an area clear of combustible materials.
- Do not leave heater unattended when in use.
- Do not move the heater when in use.
- Allow the heater to cool before moving or storing.
- This heater is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

- Use your heater at least 3 feet away from any combustible objects that can melt or catch fire such as vinyl or wood siding, fences, overhangs (See Diagram Below), or any other sources of ignition; including pilot lights and live electrical appliances.
- Do not use your heater under any overhead combustible construction.
- Never use your heater in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway, or any other enclosed area.
- In windy conditions, always position the front of the heater to face onconing wind to reduce heat and smoke blowing in your face, and to prevent potential hazards to yourself and the heater.
USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs
- Many retailers that sell heaters offer you the option of replacing your empty LP Gas tank through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety featureequipped tank as described in the LP Gas tank section of this Manual.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance will keep your heater in top operating condition
and prolong its life. Follow these cleaning procedures on a timely basis and
your heater will stay clean and operate with minimum effort.
CAUTION: Be sure your heater is OFF and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning Exterior Painted Surfaces:
- Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we suggest you wash your heater using a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and chip painted surfaces during the cleaning process.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
- Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The fact is stainless steel can corrode, rust and discolor under certain conditions. Rust is caused when regular steel particles in the atmosphere become attached to the stainless steel surface. Steel particles can also become attached to your heater if you use steel wool or stiff wire brushes to clean the heater instead of non-abrasive cloth, sponge or nylon cleaning tools. In coastal areas rust pits can develop on stainless surfaces that cannot be fully removed. Bleach and other chlorine based solutions used for household and pool cleaning can also cause corrosion to stainless steel. Weathering, extreme heat, machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can cause stainless steel to turn tan in color. Although there are many factors which can affect the surface appearance of stainless steel, they do not affect the integrity of the steel or the performance of the heater.
- To help maintain the finish of stainless steel follow these cleaning procedures for the best results:
- After every use (after your heater is unplugged and has cooled down), wipe stainless steel surfaces with a soft, soapy cloth or sponge then rinse with water.
- Never use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers or stiff wire brushes of any type on your heater.
- Use a heat resistant Stainless Steel Cleaner and rub or wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain or polish lines. Do NOT polish against the grain.
Note: You should inspect the heater and connections before each use. You should perform periodic maintenance (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance) on the heater. The heater should be inspected and serviced at least annually by a qualified technician.
WARNING
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
Keep heater area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion and ventilation.
Keep the ventilation openings of the tank enclosure cabinet free and clear of
debris.
Visually check burner flames occasionally to ensure proper flame pattern as
shown below.
Never put combustible materials into the heater or in the cabinet area.
WARNING
While lighting your gas heater, keep your face and body a safe distance (at least 18 inches) from the front of heater when lighting your heater by match.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)
Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my regulator. What causes this? And - My heater has a low flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not interfere with the operation of your heater. Loud or excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's safety device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess gas flow to your heater. Note: This procedure should be done every time a new LP Gas tank is connected to your heater. Turn all Control Knob to the OFF position. Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve. For Natural Gas shut off NG valve. Disconnect regulator from LP Gas tank. For Natural Gas disconnect regulator from 12 ft. Natural Gas Hose. Let unit stand for 5 minutes. Reconnect regulator to the LP Gas tank. For Natural Gas reconnect regulator to 12 ft. Natural Gas Hose. Turn the tank valve slowly ¼ of one turn. For Natural Gas open Shut Off valve. Light Burner. Turn the tank valve slowly one more ¼ of one turn for ½ of one complete turn. Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn on LPG models.
Where do I use my heater for safer operation and better performance?
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the heating and performance of your gas heater so factor in these elements when positioning your heater outdoors. In windy conditions, always position the front of the heater to face oncoming wind to reduce heat and smoke blowing in your face, and to prevent potential hazards to yourself and the heater. Use your heater at least 3 feet away from any wall or surface. Use your heater at least 3 feet away from any combustible objects than can melt or catch fire such as vinyl or wood siding, fences, overhangs or any other sources of ignition; including pilot lights and live electrical appliances. Never use your gas heater in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area. Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around your gas heater housing.
The Regulator and Hose supplied with my gas heater does not fit the older LP Gas tank I’ve used for years. Why not?
The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and LP Gas tanks. When regulations are changed the LP Gas tank fittings are altered to insure compliance. If your LP Gas tank does not fit the Regulator and Hose supplied with your new heater, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 all LP Gas tanks sold must include an “OPD” Overfill Prevention Device. The OPD tanks are identified by their triangular-shaped valve wheel. This internal device prevents the LP Gas tank from being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve can not be refilled.
What causes heater parts to rust and what effect does it have on my heater?
Rusting is a natural oxidation process and will not affect the short term performance of your heater. Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The fact is stainless steel can corrode, rust and discolor under certain conditions. Rust is caused when regular steel particles in the atmosphere become attached to the stainless steel surface. Steel particles can also become attached to your heater if you use steel wool or stiff wire brushes to clean the heater instead of non-abrasive cloth, sponge or nylon cleaning tools. In coastal areas rust pits can develop on stainless surfaces that cannot be fully removed. Bleach and other chlorine based solutions used for household and pool cleaning can also cause corrosion to stainless steel. Weathering, extreme heat, machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can cause stainless steel to turn tan in color.
