I bought a propane heater for my garage, one of the hang on the wall variety from fleet farm. I got it home, only to realize I needed a ton of ectra plumbing parts before it would be ready to go. Aww nuts. So I get all the parts together and hook it up last night, only to have it not work for me. Before I got return it, I was wondering if there was something I was missing?
From the heater, there is a nipple, then teh ground joint union, into the shut off valve, down to a T fitting, out of which comes hte supply hose, and the down one I have my trap. Ran that to the external regulator, and connected it to my brand new, freshly filled tank. I go to fire it up, and nothing. The ignitor works fine, plenty of spark, but it is almost as if there is no gas getting through the lines- cant figure out why? Yes, the shut off valve was open, yes, the tank was open, there is no evidence of any gas moving, so I am wondering if I am forgetting something? I followed the lighting instructions, and once it wouldnt light even pulled out a stick lighter to see if I could light the pilot. Nothing, and definitely no movement of gas anywhere. So, any ideas before I throw it out the window? Its starting to get cold fast, so I gotta figure this out! Thanks for any and all ideas....
