NATURAL GAS AND LIQUIEFIED PRETROLEUM MODELS
Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to aid in the
detecting a gas leak. Some people may not physically be able to
smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar
with the smell of LP or NG, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions
such as ―odorant fade‖, which causes the odorant to diminish in
intensity, can also hide or camouflage a gas leak.
Water heaters utilizing LP gas are different from natural gas
models. A natural gas water heater will not function safely on
LP gas and vice versa
No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater
from NG to LP gas. To avoid possible equipment damage,
personal injury, or fire, do not connect the water heater to a fuel
type not in accordance with the data plate.
LP gas must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air
and will collect first in lower areas making it hard to detect at
nose level.
Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look
and smell for gas leaks. Use a soapy solution to check all gas
fittings and connections. Bubbling at a connection indicates a
leak that must be corrected. When smelling to detect a gas
leak, be sure to sniff near the floor also.
Gas detectors are recommended in LP and NG applications and
their installation should be in accordance with the detector
manufacturer’s recommendations and/or local laws, rules,
regulations or customs.

The Purpose and Benefits the L-5
The EccoTemp L-5 is a liquid propane fired water heater capable
of delivering 1 to 1.4 gallons (5 liters) of hot water almost
anywhere. The unit has standard 1/2―NPT (BSP fittings for
European Models) pipe fittings and an adapter for using a
standard garden hose for inlet water supply (North America
models).
The L-5 is not a toy. People around the world use similar units to
heat the water in their homes, safely, and reliably.
Gas is supplied from a standard propane cylinder (not included)
such as used with outdoor grills. A regulator with hose is
furnished with the heater.
A shower nozzle with on/off switch and multiple spray patterns is
included.
Ignition is automatic and powered by 2 ―D‖ cell batteries (not
included). Burners come on when water flows, and off when the
water is shut off. No pilot light!
Additional safety feature of an automatic 20 minute shutoff timer
that is reset each time operation stops or the shower head is
turned off and back on (not applicable for European models).
Ideal operating use with water pressure between 20-80 PSI /
1.38~5.5 bar.

must be reported immediately
2. Make sure you have all the parts:
a. Heater Body and Bottom Wind Shield
b. Gas Regulator and Shower Nozzle/Hose Set
c. Hardware Pack and ½‖ NPT to Garden Hose Adapter
3. For North American use, if using a standard garden hose,
attach the ½‖ NPT to garden hose adapter to the fitting
marked with a blue arrow (far right ½‖ connection). For
European models, simply attach your water source hose
to the far right connection. Use ―Teflon‖ tape or other
approved sealing method on the threads for a secure,
water tight fit. Check to make sure the screen inside the
water inlet is in place and clean and then attach your
water input/garden hose.
4. Install gas supply line and regulator to the water heaters’
compression fitting (North American models). DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN. OVER TIGHTING MAY CRACK THE
GAS REGULATOR CAUSING A GAS LEAK! Check for
any gas smell before ignition! Make sure it is screwed all
the way on. EUROPEAN MODELS, ensure that the
black rubber washer is installed inside of the gas
connection line.

(middle connection). Connect using hand pressure
ONLY. If installing in an existing water system, connect
the hot water line directly to the ½‖ NPT/BSP fitting.
6. Install two ―D‖ cell batteries in the compartment on the
bottom left of the heater. Check that batteries are facing
the correct direction.
7. Use the top tab on the unit to suspend from a screw
adequate to holding 15 pounds/6.8 KG. Place at a
comfortable height without putting stress on the gas hose.
If the unit is to be permanently mounted, use screws to
attach the bottom tab firmly. DO NOT USE SUSPENDED
