A good rule of thumb and formula you can use is: Length X height x width (of area) multiplied by.133 X Desired Temperature – coldest temperature = required btu/h’s for area Product. What is the “configuration number” and how can I determine what it is for the heater I have?. Each heater has a group of letters and numbers describing manufacturing details of each model.
These details include things such as the units intended country and revision number. We call this the configuration number. This differs from the easy to remember trade name used in the marketplace, as some of these details are not needed when ordering the product. This configuration number can be found at the top of the data plate on the heater, which can be found in various places depending on the model you have. Some data plates are located at the back of the heater, on the inside of the door, or at the base of the heater.
You will need this part of the configuration number to look up parts lists and owner’s manuals. How do I determine what the replacement part numbers are for my specific heater?.

TECH SUPPORT FAQs Classic – Forced Air Heater for Pig Buildings My Classic 60 heater has a unit mounted thermostat. I want to hang the thermostat out in the room. How do I accomplish this?. You can do one of two things. You can remove the thermostat from its mounting bracket on the heater, install a junction box on the heater and wire the heater from the junction box to the remote thermostat.
Video or instruction sheet? OR. You can use what is called an in-line thermostat on all heaters with unit mounted thermostats. This thermostat is part # 09454 and consists of a piggy back cord set. You plug the power cord of the heater into one side of the cord set.
The other side plugs into an extension cord or directly to wall outlet. The cord is 20 ft long so you can hang the thermostat wherever you want. Make sure to turn the thermostat on the heater up to its highest setting. Video or instruction sheet? Can I use the heater in my shop or garage? The heater is a non-vented design meaning that in the combustion process Carbon Monoxide (CO) is discharged into the building along with the heated air. The heater is normally used in animal confinement buildings where ventilation is accomplished through fans and inlets to provide acceptable indoor air quality for the animal and workers.
In a shop or garage the necessary ventilation is typically not present. If a non-vented heater is used in garage or shop installations without proper ventilation, CO levels can accumulate and cause distress to people up to and including death. It is best to use a vented style furnace such as those made by Reznor, Modine, Lennox, etc. Can I convert my heater to another ignition type?. We do not offer kits to accomplish this conversion nor do we recommend it due to the cost of material and labor involved. It is more economical to purchase a new heater with the desired ignition. Can I install my pilot heater outside?
I want to get it outside to pull in fresh air. The pilot ignition heater is not designed for outside use.
Strong winds could potentially extinguish the pilot flame. If an outdoor mounted heater is desired, it is best to install either a hot surface ignition heater or spark ignition heater. What is the required operating pressure for my heater?. Depends on if LP or NG, and the model / configuration number of heater. Heaters can operate at different pressures regardless of fuel, so it’s best to get all information from the data plate. As a general rule if LP gas, the inlet pressure, with burner on, is a minimum of 11 in. W.C.to a maximum of 13.5 inches W.C.
Burner manifold pressure is 10 in. If NG the requirements are a minimum of 7 in WC to 13.5 in. W.C., with a manifold pressure of 4.0 in. How do I check the gas pressure?. You must use a pressure gauge. You can’t tell by looking at the burner if the pressure is correct.
White sells low pressure test kits, but if you are not comfortable with the procedure, contact your L.B. White distributor or gas provider to check the pressure for you. I am remodeling my barn.
I need to identify what size of heaters to install and the gas piping required. We need to get specifics of the building such as length, width, wall height, type of animals, ventilations rates, insulation types and thickness. With that we can calculate heat load and determine size and quantity of heaters.
Regarding the pipe size, we need to know if LP or NG, distances from gas supply to building, and distances between heaters in order to make a recommendation. A simple sketch of the building, gas supply, and heater layout is beneficial in making this determination. What’s the best way to clean my forced air heaters? I was told water is acceptable. Most of our heaters may be washed on the external case using low pressure water. When cleaning the internals of the heater, use air pressure, or a soft brush or rag.
Refer to the on-line heater Owner’s Manual for specifics regarding cleaning. I just installed heaters inside the building. The regulator is located inside by the heater. Yes, however, the regulator must be vented to the outside. Always run a vent line from the regulator back to the outside. The vent line must be the same size as the regulator vent. If that regulator should ever overpressure due to failure, the gas will be vented inside the building, where it can be ignited by the heating equipment.
Contact a licensed gas service person for assistance. How do I calculate how much propane my heater uses?. Take the known heat output of the heater, expressed in Btu/h and divide that by 21591, which is the Btu in one pound of propane. Example: 250,000 Btu/h Guardian 250 = 11.57 pounds of gas per hour 21,591.
To determine gallons of propane used per hour, take usage in pounds and divide by 4.24 (pounds of propane per gallon.). 11.57 pounds per hour = 2.73 gallons of propane liquid per hr. 4.24 pounds per gallon. To get total load: Number of heaters x pounds or gallons per hour I am installing new forced air heaters. What ignition type should I use?.
We offer three forms of ignition: pilot, hot surface, and spark. There are pros and cons to all. It all comes down to personal preference.
The advantage of pilot is that it is simple to work on and many people are familiar with it. The disadvantage is that the pilot light must always be burning, thereby wasting gas.
Hot surface ignition and spark ignition are electronic. These forms of ignition do not waste fuel.
The heaters use what we call “Service Saver“ technology which monitors heater operation and by means of a diagnostic light tells you what the potential problem is in the event of heater failure. Heaters with electronic ignition can be mounted outside using the appropriate outdoor mounting kits.
This allow fresh air to be drawn in for combustion. The only “con’” to hot surface ignition is that the igniter will fail at some point, not a case of if, but when. It’s kind of like a light bulb in that respect. Regarding spark ignition heaters, the igniter is extremely reliable.
A simple cleaning with emery cloth or steel wool is all that is needed to keep the igniter operational. Can the Classic heaters be converted from one fuel gas to other? Kits are available. Contact your local dealer or L.B. White Factory for the correct kit. Director – Indirect Fired Heater for Construction Jobs and Industrial Work Sites What size duct can I use on my Director 300?.

I want to get it outside to pull in fresh air. The pilot ignition heater is not designed for outside use. Strong winds could potentially extinguish the pilot flame. If an outdoor mounted heater is desired, it is best to install either a hot surface ignition heater or spark ignition heater. What’s the advantage of locating my hot surface ignition heater outside?.
The heater lasts longer as it’s not exposed to the corrosive barn environment. The air flowing through the heater is fresh, outside air. Another advantage of outdoor installation is having the heater out of the way. Also, since the heater is outside, maintenance and repair can be done without entering the building, reducing bio security concerns.
What is the required operating pressure for my heater?. Depends on if LP or NG, and the model / configuration number of heater. Heaters can operate at different pressures regardless of fuel, so it’s best to get all information from the data plate. As a general rule if LP gas, the inlet pressure, with burner on, is a minimum of 11 in. W.C.to a maximum of 13.5 inches W.C. Burner manifold pressure is 10 in.

Kits are available. Contact your local dealer or L.B. White Factory for the correct kit. I-Series – Radiant Heat Brooder for Pig Buildings and Poultry Houses I am installing I-Series heaters. What pressure do I need?. The heaters require 5 PSI gas pressure for either LP or NG gas. My installation will be using 26 I-17 heaters on LP gas.
How many zone control panels do I need?. We offer two zone panels. One is medium capacity, the other is high capacity. The medium capacity handles 14 LP gas heaters. The high capacity can handle 40. Suggestion: Install just the one high capacity panel.
You’ll save money and you only need to manage one panel. How many regulators do I need for my building?. It is best to use one regulator for each zone of heat in order to have the best control of gas pressures. As an example, if only one regulator is used for 3 zones, the regulator has to try and control all the gas pressure when one zone comes on and the other cycles off.
Some heaters will wind up burning hotter than others. How do I clean my brooders?. Watch videos:. Best to use air pressure. Turn off the gas, remove the filter and blow off with air. Insert the air pressure nozzle in the air housing and blow air down through the cone end.
Reverse the process and blow air from the cone end back through the air housing end. Repeat this process until dust is no longer emitter. Always end up blowing dust from the cone end.
You can also use water, but for manual ignition heaters only. Use standard faucet pressure with a nozzle and rinse out the cone area and run water from the cone end to the control end. Then reverse the process and run water from the control end to the cones. Do this several times until dirt is no longer observed. Always end up running the water from the cone end to the control end. When done shake the heater off and light the heater to dry it out.
Where do I place my heat sensor?. It depends on what size brooder you are installing and the animal. Pigs.
I-17, I-34: 4-8 feet from center of heater and above the animal height. Chickens. I-17, I-34, I-40: 8-12 ft. From center and 6-12 inches above the ground. What are clearances from combustibles for the I-Series radiant heater?.
Clearances are provided on a label to the air housing where the filter is attached. Nonetheless clearances are as follows. Sides: 3 feet.
Top of heater: 3 feet. Point of combustion cone to floor;. I-17: 3.5 ft. I-34: 3.5 feet. I-40: 4.5 ft. I want to convert my I-Series heaters. Do I need a conversion kit or can I order just the orifices?.
We offer conversion kits. The conversion kit will consist of a replacement air housing assembly with orifices and register plate installed. Also a replacement data plate and instructions. Like the burner orifices, the air register plate is of different size for LP or NG for the specific heater size, and must be correctly installed for proper operation.
What size gas line do I need for my radiant heaters?. That depends on how many heaters you are installing. As a general rule the line from the zone panel to where it branches off to feed the brooders is ¾ inch.
The gas line to which the heaters are connected is ½ in. However, it depends on the design of the building, and spacing of heaters. A simple sketch showing heater placement and distances can help us recommend piping size. How do I hang the brooders?. Make sure the heater’s control end (end where gas comes in) is 1-5 degrees down from horizontal. You might have to adjust the key ring on the heater’s hanging bracket to achieve this. Don’t use any line or ropes in hanging the heater.
Use only noncombustible chain or cable. Ensure the gas hose, (and if electronic ignition, the heater’s power cord) are routed away from the heater’s shroud. Neither the hose nor the power cord are to be tied to the chain or cable. My zone control panel never cycles the heaters down. It always stays on high. I have replaced the thermostatic head once. What can be wrong?.
The problem is either incorrect sensor placement, or not enough heaters. You want to have the sensor away from cold end walls. Try and locate it to another area within the heat zone of one of the heaters. Make sure you have enough heaters especially at cold end walls.
How do I check the gas pressure?. You must use a pressure gauge. You can’t tell by looking at the cones if the heater is operating at the correct pressure.
White sells low pressure test kits, but if you are not comfortable with the procedure, contact your L.B. White distributor or gas provider to check the pressure for you.
Premier – Tent and Construction Heater What is the maximum length of duct I can use on my Premier 170?. As standard, the maximum length is 12 feet.
That duct must be 12 inch diameter. I need to circulate the air of my Premier 170 more effectively. Right now it’s creating hot spots. What can I use?. We suggest the use of the booster box kit. This kit interfaces to the heater and allows you to boost the heat through two - 30 ft perforated ducts.
See the for more information. Are your Premier heaters acceptable for use at higher altitudes?. Yes, but we must supply an orifice that rerates the heat output for altitudes above 2,000 feet.
If you are placing an order Customer Service needs to know the altitude so the heater can be built to that specific configuration w/o changing an orifice in the field. If the heater is already in the field we need to know at what altitude the heater will be used so we can supply the properly sized orifice and data plate identifying the change in orifice. What heaters can I use for deck tennis heating?. A commonly used heater is the Tradesman series, LP or NG, as this is a lower profile heater and can fit under a deck tennis court easily. However, as with any heater, clearances to combustibles must be strictly adhered to. Also some accessories that are provided with the heater might not be required due to the specific installation.
(eg: hoses, regulators). Refer to your owner's manual for installation and application guidelines. We also have the Premier series which can be located under the deck, provided the deck is sufficiently high enough off the ground to accept the overall height of the heater. If not, the heaters can be located outside/around the deck and with the heat ducted under the deck using our duct.
How much heat do I need for a 40 x 100 tent? (same applies to construction). Refer to our. Plan for coldest temperature. What is the maximum length of duct I can use on the Premier 350?. You can use two 12 foot sections that are connected together by a duct collar, along with one 100 ft.
Section of perforated duct. All duct is 18 in.
What is the blower outlet temperature on the Premier series of heaters?. All generally have a 120F rise in temperature over the surrounding air. What is the amp draw on the Premier 350?. 30 amps starting and 14 in continuous operation. You may use a standard 20 amp breaker at the job site as the start-up amps drop immediately.
How long do propane cylinders last?. It depends on the heat load and temperature. The larger the heat load and colder the temperature the sooner the cylinder will diminish in pressure. In colder temperatures it’s always best to use larger cylinders or tanks. If larger cylinders are not available, you can manifold several smaller cylinders together using a manifold set from an LP gas equipment supply source. Can the Premier heaters be converted from one fuel gas to other?.
Because these units are used for temporary heating applications we do not recommend converting them. However, kits are available for special situations.
Contact your local dealer or L.B. White Factory for approval and the correct kit. Therma Grow – Greenhouse Heaters How do I go about selecting heater size for my green house?. You need to get information regarding the green house and input it into our. This form will automatically calculate the amount of heaters needed for the specific installation. What’s the difference between the PLUS series of Therma Grow and the Standard?. The standard series uses galvanized steel, which is very good for rust protection.
The Plus series adds on an epoxy primer with powder coat finish for further protection. The Plus series has a two stage gas control valve which interfaces to a two stage thermostat or building controller. This allows the heater to operate at either minimum heat or maximum heat, depending on temperature requirements. This can save fuel and gives a more even temperature. The standard series has a single stage gas control which opens to full output on a call for heat. The Plus series also incorporates a selector switch allowing you to either heat or ventilate, which is just operating the fan motor only. This can be helpful when just air movement is needed.
Which is better, indoor or outdoor mount?. Generally, it is best to go outside wherever possible. It does not take up any inside room, simplifies the installation while at the same time reducing the cost. However you should consider the area of the country where the heater will be located, warmer versus colder temps in the winter time, the time of the year the heater will be used, and type of plants to be grown.
Can the Therma grow heaters be converted from one fuel gas to other?. The Therma Grow 120 can. We have specific kits for gas conversion. The Therma Grow 220 is not convertible due to the differences between the heater’s base and heat chamber for the specific gas being burned.
What is the heat throw for the Therma grow 120 and 220?. The Therma Grow 120 has a throw of 50-55 ft. The Therma Grow 220 has a throw of 90-95 ft. This is achieved when using an air discharge accessory which assists in channeling the air throw of the heater.
I want to locate my Therma Grow inside. Why do I need the indoor ventilation kit?. Although the heater burns very cleanly, and exceeds the requirements of the testing standard to which it is approved, it is still a non vented heater. If there is not proper air supply and exchange created for the heater, combustion suffers and by products of combustion can increase in the greenhouse.
Why does L.B. White offer the Therma Grow in either 120 volt or 220 volt?. These are the two common voltages found in greenhouses. When ordering specify the correct voltage for your installation.
How does the Therma Grow differ from the standard L.B White heater that I see used in chicken buildings?. The Therma Grow is designed, tested, and approved to a specific standard for green house heating, which is CSA International Requirements 1.95 US. This standard is specific to gas fired heaters used in greenhouses.
What all this means is that the heater must meet or exceed the U.S Greenhouse Standards for heater discharge of combustion by products such as CO, CO 2, NO 2, and Ethylene. The standards are very stringent requiring that the heaters allow a very safe environment for people and plants. This makes it the only heater in the market approved specifically for greenhouse heating. Can the Therma Grow be used for heating all plants?. Yes, regardless of plant type, when properly installed and proper air exchange is supplied. Can I use my model AW250, Guardian 250 Animal Agricultural heater for my greenhouse?.
Yes you may, but you must be mindful of the plants that are being grown. Where the Therma Grow can be used for any and all plant varieties, heaters like the AW250 might only be used for specific plants that can accept higher levels of combustion by-products. A test using a sample plant to see the affects might help. What’s the blower outlet temperature on the Therma Grow?.
Both the Therma Grow 120 and 220 have approximately a 120 F rise in temperature over the surrounding air. ( If the heater is mounted outside with a temperature of 10F, the outlet air will be on average 130 F) How do you connect the 2-stage thermostat to the heater?. Watch video: Tradesman – Portable Heaters (LP and NG) for Construction Jobs and Industrial Work Sites I need to convert my Tradesman from LP to NG. What kit do I use?. The Tradesman 400 is not convertible to NG. It is designed for LP gas only.
I want to locate a heater outside. What heaters do you make for outside use?.
All Premier series heaters and the Director heater are design certified for outside use. We offer ducting as an accessory to transport the warm air from outside to the inside. I ordered parts for my heater, but they aren’t right for my heater. What’s the problem?.
When ordering service parts, you need to be sure that you are referring to a parts diagram for your specific heater. The website allows you to key in the full model and configuration number (found on the heater data plate) to look up the owner’s manual and parts list.
How long do propane cylinders last?. It depends on the heat load and temperature. The larger the heat load and colder the temperature the sooner the cylinder will diminish in pressure. In colder temperatures it’s always best to use larger cylinders or tanks. If larger cylinders are not available, you can manifold several smaller cylinders together using a manifold set from an LP gas equipment supply source.
Can I use my Tradesman PFA in my shop? The heater is not designed to be used in an enclosed area without ventilation to provide adequate air exchange. Without proper ventilation, CO levels can build to unsafe levels for people, causing distress and even death. Can I use a duct on my Tradesman heater?.
No, the heater’s discharge temperature is extremely hot. The only heaters that can be used with ducting are the Premier series and the Director. Can I use the Tradesman LP gas heaters for heating a party tent? These heaters are not designed nor approved for this application.
The heaters to use are the Premier heaters or the Director heater. These heaters are designed specifically for tent heating applications. What heaters can I use for deck tennis heating?. A commonly used heater is the Tradesman series, LP or NG, as this is a lower profile heater and can fit under a deck tennis court easily. However, as with any heater, clearances to combustibles must be strictly adhered to.
Also some accessories that are provided with the heater might not be required due to the specific installation. (eg: hoses, regulators). Refer to your owner's manual for installation and application guidelines. We also have the Premier series which can be located under the deck, provided the deck is sufficiently high enough off the ground to accept the overall height of the heater. If not, the heaters can be located outside/around the deck and with the heat ducted under the deck using our duct. What size cylinder can I use for my Tradesman 400?. Typically, for extended use, we suggest a 500 gallon tank due to the gas usage rate of the heater, which is 18.
5 pounds per hour. Otherwise, you might consider manifolding three 100 # cylinders together if using a tank is not possible. Can I control my Tradesman LP or NG heater by remote thermostat?. It depends on the model. If it’s a Tradesman 100, then no, because that heater does not have an electronic ignition system that automatically starts the heater.
However you can use what is called an in line thermostat on all other Tradesman LP or NG heaters. This thermostat is part # 09454 and consists of a piggy back cord set. You plug the power cord of the heater into one side of the cord set.
The other side plugs into an extension cord or directly to wall outlet. The cord is 20 ft long so you can hang the thermostat wherever you want. Make sure to turn the thermostat on the heater up to its highest setting.
How do I calculate how much propane my heater uses?. Take the known heat output of the heater, expressed in Btu/h and divide that by 21591, which is the BTU in one pound of propane. Example: 400,000 Btu/h Tradesman 400 = 18.5 pounds of gas per hour 21,591. To determine gallons of propane used per hour, take usage in pounds and divide by 4.24 (pounds of propane per gallon.). 18.5 pounds per hour = 4.36 gallons of propane liquid per hour 4.24 pounds per gallon.
To get total load: Number of heaters x pounds or gallons per hour Tradesman – Portable Heaters ( Kerosene) for Construction Jobs and Industrial Work Sites Other than kerosene, what fuels can be used on the Tradesman kerosene heaters?. You can use #1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel).
These fuels don’t burn as cleanly as kerosene so some maintenance related issues such as plug fouling, might arise. Also you might notice a strong smell by burning the other fuel, so ventilation may need to be increased. What are the tank capacities / fuel use per hour rates on the Tradesman series kerosene heaters?
(gallons). Tradesman K45: 5/.35.
Tradesman K75: 5 /.57. Tradesman K125: 10 /.95. Tradesman K170: 13 / 1.3. Tradesman K210: 13 / 1.6.
Tradesman K400: 29 /3.0. Tradesman K650: 50 / 4.9 Can I use a duct on the Tradesman kerosene heaters? The outlet temperature is extremely hot. Also the safety switch within the heater would be activated thereby shutting the heater down. Workman and Norseman – Convection Heaters Can I convert my Workman (or Norseman) convection heater from LP to NG? The heater is designed as is, and is specific to the fuel being used. If you need a natural gas heater, I suggest a Workman 100 NG Plus.
