Questions & Answers
can this heater be converted to natural gas?
Thank you for your inquiry. No, this heater cannot be converted. Have a great day!
Can this be used to kill termites in a 250 square feet room?
Thank you for your inquiry! This heater will not be able to heat the room to the temperature needed to kill termites. Hope this helps!
What is the max temp that this unit can obtain and maintain in a 24x20 insulated shop building?
Thank you for your inquiry! The temperature of the unit's high limit switch will shut the heater off once it reaches 240 degrees. Because of this, the achieved room temperature may vary. Hope this helps!
How many watts of electricity does it take to run the heater?
Hello! This heater will require a minimum of 240 Watts to run. Have a great day!
Can I use Forklift Propane Tanks on this unit
I'm using a 33 lb forklift LP tank on mine. Works great. Just be sure to use the vapor only port/valve. The fitting and valve for the forklift supplies liquid LP. Forklifts have vaporizers to convert the liquid to a gas as well as the proper regulator.
Hi Vito. According to DeWalt, the minimum recommended LP tank size is 40 pounds. This heater uses a standard POL left hand thread coupling. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC
How mean gallons per hour does this use
Thank you for your inquiry. This heater will burn between 3.5 lbs/hr and 5.8 lbs/hr based on the heat setting you have it on. Have a great day!
My house is under construction. It's a mountain home so our main heating fuel is propane (1,000 gallon tank). This tank is regulated to supply fuel to our HVAC & Gas stove. Can I hook my propane source to this heater and not use bottles? thx
Thank you for your inquiry. This heater wants an unregulated propane source, and is unlikely to work if connected to a preregulated tank. Have a great day!
Does the heater come with the gas line or separate
Thank you for your inquiry. This heater will come with a hose to connect it to a propane tank. Have a great day!
