Radiant heaters for RV significantly reduce propane consumption and the battery power used for heating when compared to what a forced-air furnace uses.

Your first step is to determine the size Olympian heater you need and, if you will be mounting it in a fixed location, find suitable wall or cabinet space. In most cases, you will be "tapping" an existing propane fitting for a gas source by disconnecting a "flare" fitting, inserting a "tee" and adapter, then running a line to the heater. You'll need various flared fittings as you bring gas to the heater. Many of the fittings needed for a standard installation can be found in any hardware store. Others, if you want to do the job properly, and safely, aren't readily available. We offer two kits that include the components need for fixed mount or portable mount propane installation:

Our FIXED HOOK-UP KIT provides fittings and instructions to accommodate 95% of all RVs without having to cut into your propane tubing. With our kit, total length from your propane source to the heater can measure up to 8 feet. It can be longer if you add 3/8" OD copper tubing and standard fittings available locally.

Our PORTABLE HOOK-UP KIT includes all the fittings in the fixed kit plus bolt-on legs so the heater is self supporting. A certified-for-propane Quick Disconnect fitting allows disassembly without the use of tools.

OTHER FEATURES OF KITS:

• You (or your certified installer) generally need only two wrenches for all fittings.

• Pipe fittings are sealed and partially pre-assembled for easy, safe installation.

PARTS INCLUDED:  3/8" Brass Flare "T", double-ended female flare fitting adapter, 24 inches of 3/8" OD copper tubing with flare fittings, 6 feet of flexible propane hose with fittings and a 90 degree flare swivel elbow. (The portable version adds the legs and quick disconnect.)

BEFORE ORDERING — Double check your mounting location and size of fittings at what will be propane source (existing fittings at fridge, furnace, water heater, etc.) Our fittings are not sold separately. Kits are not returnable.
