This article is for those people who want to know how to connect their propane gas supply to a heat stove. It is a moderately easy procedure. Follow the steps mentioned and you will have your propane heat stove operating at no time at all.

i. Site the location you prefer for the heat stove. It should be at a central location; if possible, make sure you place it against the wall.

ii. Make sure you turn the large tank’s valve off. You do this by turning the knob in a clockwise direction.

iii. Unscrew the hose connected to the propane tank’s valve.

iv. The ‘propane T-splitter’ connector is then screwed down to the hole of a valve. The hose is connected to the propane tank one section of the connecter. The other side of the splitter connecter is attached to the hose.

v. Drill a hole on your house’s wall. The hole should be of the same size as the propane flex hose’s end connector. Make sure that the hole on your wall is behind the heat stove. Insert the flex hose using the hole. Prevent any leaks around the opening by filling it with silicon caulk.

vi. Connect the hose to the heat stove. This is done by screwing together the hose and the connector at the rear end of the stove. Tune the valve anticlockwise. Set the temperature gauge on your heat stove and then switch on the ignition.

vii. Check for any leaks. This is done through the application of dish soap on all the connection points. Bubbles are an indication of leakage. Incase of leakage, switch off the propane supply and repair the situation to avoid any accidents from occurring.

After you have followed the above procedure, your heat stove is now ready for use.
