Answer: Most of our heaters require a 100 lb. tank or larger unless they state otherwise in the heater description. If you need more information please go to our Propane Vaporization Chart and call your local propane dealer. Answer: Vent free heaters are designed to burn as clean as possible. However, there may be particles in the air from other household materials that when mixed with the combustion air the unit is using, give off the scent of kerosene. Typical odor producing prod.

With the exception of the outdoorsman model which can run from a 20 lb tank, the indoor gas heaters require a 100 lb because of the speed at which the gas flows to the heater. The faster the propane flow the colder the propane gets (experience this by blowing air gently from your mouth to your hands, then blow some air as hard as you can into your hands - the faster moving air is colder than the slower moving air).

The general rule of thumb in aquarium keeping is to have no more that one inch of fish per gallon of water. Thus, if you had a twenty gallon tank (with no substrate or rocks to diminish the total water volume), you could have five 4-inch fish. This formula also assumes you will change 25% of the tank volume each week. See What is a water change? Why is it important? for more details. Realistically, however, you will need to consider the following factors when choosing what size tank to purchase:

Answer: Please contact Faculty Services office. This is a free service for our faculty. Please do not try to contact various specialized agencies on your own because the gas tanks they install may be old and unsafe.

To determine the correct size heater for your heating needs, you will need to use the following equation: In order to obtain satisfactory performance from your portable propane heater, you must use a tank of sufficient size to assure vaporization of the propane it contains at the temperature at which the tank is stored and used.

Yes, permits are required for propane tanks. All tanks will require a Building Permit. A Zoning Permit is required for those tanks being placed above ground. And a Wetland Permit would be required for any tank, above or below ground within areas regulated by the Inland Wetland and Watercourses Regulations (see question 15 for a description of the regulated areas).

UltraHeat™ offers three types of tank heaters: two 13.5 Volt DC (VDC) powered tank heaters (Model 1200 & 2400); two 120 Volt AC (VAC) powered tank heaters (Model 4200 & 4800) and one combination tank heater powered with both 13.5 Volt DC and 120 Volt AC (Model 3600.) The UltraHeat™ Tank Heaters should be selected based on the liquid capacity of the individual holding tank to be protected, see the table below to help with this selection.

Answer: On average, the Q20 Low Pressure Burner will run for 15 hours on a 20 lb. propane tank when turned up, while the E53 High Pressure Burner will run for 4 hours on a 20 lb. tank when turned up fully. Keep in mind you usually back off the gas after the wort begins boiling, so your fuel consumption will probably be quite a bit better than these figures. Answer: Get the Q20 Low Pressure Burner. It features a much finer degree of gas control than the E53 High Pressure Burner.

We like to give our guests lots of air, so a 15L is standard. Off course you can choose to have a 12L or 10L if you wish.

Heaters can be rather expensive, so this is a common question. Usually, the answer is "yes". A guppy should have a temperature in the mid 70's F. If the temperature drops at night any more than 4 degrees, I recommend you use a heater. Drastic drops in temperature are stressful and eventually can cause problems like ich.

It should be .There will be low heat output and high energy cost. They may be acceptable in intermittently occupied buildings or as a back up only. There will be a prompt payback of the added cost of any other form of energy.

NO! Our propane patio heaters are designed, tested and approved for propane use only. Conversion kits are not available. Propane patio heater regulators supply 11" WC and natural gas requires 7" to 10" WC. Also, propane gas line tubing is made of copper and natural gas requires stainless steel.

O.P.D. stands for Overfill Protection Device, which is located inside a propane cylinder and is equipped with a float that will prohibit propane from exceeding 80% capacity during the filling procedure. The 20% empty volume allows for expansion of the gas (which is naturally cold) therefore not allowing the propane tank to be overfilled. This creates peace of mind and safe enjoyable cooking experience for the owner. O.P.

If you have 240 gallons or above for propane storage at your home you may receive a partial fill, a minimum delivery is half your tank size. If you receive a partial fill you will be subject to additional charge of .25 cents per gallon.
