Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 400K BTU/Intermittent Pilot Ignition/LP/Single Stage w/Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger & Burner

Features

• Made in the USA
• 83% thermal efficiency, maximizing seasonal efficiency through the use of a collector box and the power exhauster
• A power exhaust can rotate 180° allowing the unit to be vented vertically or horizontally
• A 100% shut-off if the unit does not light, to ensure that unburned gases do not build up in the unit
• An intermittent pilot-ignition system with continuous retry to keep the unit from locking and needing to be reset if the unit does not light on the first try
• All PDP/BDP units can be field-converted from natural gas to propane if desired
• A safety pressure-switch monitors the vent pipe to assure flue gases leave the building and do not back up in the space
• Designed to utilize the smallest-diameter vent pipe possible
• “Wing” screws so that the bottom pan can be dropped without a screwdriver or nut driver
• A level hanging mechanism for easy field adjustments after adding accessories that may change the unit’s center of gravity
• Draws combustion air from inside the workspace
• 6" vent connection
• Liquid Propane
• 400,000 BTU
• Intermittent Pilot Ignition
• Single stage - on/off operation
• Aluminized steel heat exchanger & burner

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Regularly check for leaks, damage, or loose fittings in the gas lines to ensure safe operation.
• Clean Heat Exchanger & Burners – Periodically clean the aluminized steel heat exchanger and burners to prevent dirt buildup and maintain efficient heat transfer.
• Clear Air Vents – Keep the air intake and exhaust vents clear from debris to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating.
• Test Intermittent Pilot Ignition – Ensure the intermittent pilot ignition system functions properly for reliable startup each time.
• Monitor Burner Flame – Check the flame regularly. A steady, blue flame indicates proper combustion for efficient heating.
• Check Thermostat Accuracy – Verify that the thermostat is correctly calibrated to ensure proper temperature regulation.
• Replace or Clean Filters – Clean or replace filters frequently to maintain optimal airflow and heating performance.
• Annual Professional Inspection – Have a professional technician inspect the heater annually to ensure all components are operating safely and efficiently.
