Why shouldn't you run a heater with a propane tank in the house?

Jan 16, 2007 by Kurt | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I use a ventless propane heater to arousal my garage. The hose to the propane tank is only 4 feet long so I have to keep the heater close the garage door in order to keep the tank outside. I would like to move the heater around the garage but I am solicitous that it may be dangerous. What exactly is the danger?

No, you aren't affluent to get carbon monoxide poisoning. Your heater has an oxygen depletion sensor, and if it fails, it will fizzle out on the side of caution. Ventless heaters will burn other fumes in the air, and in a garage atmosphere, can lead to some nasty if not toxic odors. There are two embryonic problems with using the tank indoors: First, if the tank leaks, your leaking into a confined margin, with a open source of ignition close by. Subsequent, and more important in my opinion: Propane expands and pressure increases as the temperature rises. If your tank is filled from a dead source, and brought into a warm room, (or one that is succeeding to get warm when you fire up the heater), the excess pressure could likely be vented by the tanks alto-rilievo 'high relief' valve. While the valve will re-seat itself after the pressure subsides, this can sometimes be a rather large, sudden burst of gas. I as an individual do use portable space type heaters in distinct confined spaces, but only SUPERVISED, and have more than a decade working with, transporting, and handling melted fuels. Above all common sense needs to convince. ALso, any full service propane supplier can make up a longer hose at a very judicious price. Make sure you tell the the request you're using it for, so they can size it properly. Okay luck.

will a 10000 btu propane heater heat a 2 car garage and how much propane will it use?

the garage will be well insulated. The walls will be insulated with r13 divider insulation and the ceiling will be insulated with 1 inch thick styrofoam

Yes...if your garage is well insulated. Depending on the category of the heater itself, propane usage will vary. If your garage is not well insulated, I would suggest a 20,000 BTU heater. Most packages generally speaking say about how much propane the product will use..


According to my hubby, if your going to cover the garage like that, you should be fine with a 10,000 BTU heater.

How do I hook propane to a natural gas heater?

Nov 07, 2006 by olbud1972 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a Luxaire Beau id UH040LC Series NA-LAM Airplane hangar heater that I just bought off of ebay to earnestness my garage. These heaters were also used in homes across America as heaters for garages. I have hooked up the propane and as a matter of fact had the heater lit, but I have heard and I already know that supposedly you cannot just acquitted LP up to a natural gas appliance and be O.K. When the thermostat kicked the piece on, the flames got pretty out of controland were yellow in color a substitute alternatively of small and blue like I know they should be. Do I stress to change the orifices out or scrap the project all together, and if I do privation to change them out, where can I get them and how hard is it?

you may have some controversy due to age of the gas control valve, you need a lp conversion kit for it which includes a various internal spring, diaphragm and cover coating. If this cannot be located - purchase a new gas valve for 40. to 85. dollars and ask if it has the conversion to lp in the box. The orifices are no incorrigible except for determining the correct size. This is going to have to be done at a heating rig out house in your area, the counter guy will be able to look up this info. It won't business if it's a Luxaire or another brand. Either way this isn't a eagerly job just be conscience of your thread connections for lass gas leaks after refitting.
