Which pump should I use?

Contact a plumber to calculate the required flow rate and pressure for the installation (which depends on, the length, height, and diameter of pipes and how many taps it will serve) and from there we can advise which pump will suit. 

What clearances do the Heat-Flo ™ Blow Heaters (HF15 / HF20 / HF30 / HF50) need?

2.5m from heater outlet. 1.25m from the tops, sides and inlet. Never operate on elevated structures such as platforms or scaffolds.

Can I use the Heat-Flo ™ Blow Heaters (HF15 / HF20 / HF30 / HF50) with NG?

No. It uses a POL or type 27 connection to an LPG cylinder, not a bayonet connection. This product is designed for LPG and should not be converted.  

Do you supply hoses with bayonet fittings?

As per the instruction manual, the inlet gas connection for the blow heater has size ¼” G LH thread. As per our specifications, these blow heaters are designed to be directly connected to the gas cylinder and so are provided with the corresponding hose connection. Unfortunately, we don’t have a hose which has the required thread to a bayonet connection. 

Do you supply longer hoses?

We do not have a longer hose we can offer, only the ones they are supplied with. 

How noisy are the Heat-Flo ™ Blow Heaters (HF15 / HF20 / HF30 / HF50)?

We do not have official noise data. They are designed for industrial settings, so noise was not a design factor, therefore they are relatively loud.

How to start the HF30/50 models?

  1. Screw hose onto back of heater. 
  2. Place cylinder behind heater. Screw in POL to cylinder. 
  3. Check for gas leaks. 
  4. Plug in electrical cord. 
  5. Press on/off switch – fan turns on, then gas comes through, then sparks – allow 60 seconds 

How to start the HF15/20 models?  

  1. Screw hose onto back of heater. 
  2. Place cylinder behind heater. Screw in connection into cylinder. 
  3. Check for gas leaks. 
  4. Plug in electrical cord. 
  5. Press on/off switch – let fan run for 30 seconds.  
  6. Open gas valve by holding in button closest to gas inlet (on the left). 
  7. Press other button (on the right) as many times as it takes to ignite/spark, so that it lights up the heater. 
  8. Release the gas valve button after 5 seconds of the flame burning – the presence of the flame now keeps the gas valve open. 

Can you change the temp on the Heat-Flo ™ Blow Heaters?

No. Each heater has a set gas input and there is only 1 flame. Get a smaller or larger heater size for smaller or larger flame. 

How does the black dial on the HF30/50 models work?

It is a temperature dial. It controls the thermal cut off switch for if the room temperature gets too high. Best to turn all the way up so it doesn’t cut the heater off prematurely.
