Question about Procom ML300TBA Heater

Procom ML200TBA It sounds like one of you out there might be able to help. I bought a ventless ProCom ML200TBA for my shed. I planned to supply LP gas from a 20 lb gas grill tank. I'm connecting to the heater with a hose/regulator that I have from a defunct propane heater. Gas flows freely from the open end. But when I connect it to the regulator in the heater, the pilot won't light. Any ideas would be appreciated. Gary

Thank you for your help. In fact you were right on. The regulator I had tried to use was from a fan forced propane heater, way too much pressure. That excess pressure had pressed a tiny plunger device upward into the heater regulator inlet. Presumably some safety feature to protect people like me from ourselves. This prevented the heater regulator from damage but also prevented it from lighting, fortunately. I switched to the proper much lower pressure regulator and the unit has worked fine since. Thanks again, Gary.

Propane appliances usually run on 10-11 inches of water column, this is about 1/2 pound of pressure. If the regulator you have is not rated for delivering gas at that rate, you will need to find one that does. If your regulator is rated for more than the 11 inches, most likely you could have damaged the appliance regulator that came with the heater. Check the propane pressure specified by the heater manufacture against the rated supply of your regulator and see if they match. Make sure the heater is rated for Propane and NOT Natural Gas. Check to see if the gas valve on the appliance is in the operate position and all valves are open. Bleed off the air in the gas line by holding down the pilot switch and keep attempting to light the pilot. It could take you a few minutes. If you hear and smell gas but the unit will still not light, don't chance at getting hurt, call a technician. Look to make sure there are no safety switch that may have triggered off not allowing the gas valve to operate. And make sure there is no obstruction in the heater?s gas valve blocking off the supply of gas. Always exercise caution when it comes to gas and if you are uncomfortable, call a qualified gas technician.

Procom propane ventless heater. It has the 5 panel burner. Only 3 of the burner ignite then a flame goes up the reflector I noticed flame burning from the thermostat valve when this happens.

Sounds like the burners are blocked they could do with a clean this may help with them burning correctly

I have a procom ventless fireplace heater and the pilot light will not stay lit

Sounds lie you need to replace the bimetallic strip by the pilot light. If that is bad the main gas nor the pilot will stay on.

Procom pilot light wont light

Make sure the gas valve is on. The thermocouple may need to be cleaned in order for the pilot to stay lit.

You need to first get a regulator which will go between the propane tank and the burner. You will need to know the burner capacity in BTU/HR and the pressure required. All of this can be found on the furnace specification plate or on the gas valve. It is a no brainer Circut!

Pilot is not receiving propane. We just bought a house and have two of these heaters in our greenhouse. After checking the lines for leaks we have tried to fire up both units but neither are pushing propane to the pilots or tube. The units are receiving gas but not pushing through for some reason.
