User questions & answers

Question:	I know it says it has a fan but Mr. Heater removed fans from some models. Is this one of those models
Answer:	The low voltage fan and switch IS NOT on this unit. There is a kit that can be ordered from another party that consist of the entire rear panel. It has the wiring an hardware attached to it with the switch, battery case and external low voltage plug for a transformer power supply. It is as simple as 4 screws to install. Mine was under $40. I could not find this larger heater WITH the fan anywhere. Many say it has the fan in the remarks but is not included. I hope this helped. Jack, Dayton OH.
Question:	Is this safe to use indoors? Like gas wise
Answer:	Many fear that anything burning gas will be like running a generator indoors that will kill you in 10 minutes. I understand such a concern, but this is much more like someone running a gas stove burner used in half the houses, that doesn't kill anyone in 10 minutes while warming water for coffee or such (does it?) It burns clean enough that there isn't the carbon-monoxide like from a generator. I ran the smaller version (Buddy) for 24 hours to do a "power outage drill" with freezing temps out to see what it's like with a CO detector set up, the CO unit never went off. I did go outside a few times like to get the mail and when coming back inside I could smell a bit of the "Burned gas", but it wasn't so bad to need to run back out. So you do want to consider such, but it's not a panic item. The manual does suggest cracking a window for some ventilation, but others say "That's letting your heat out in freezing conditions and stupid!" So it's up to you to perhaps do some experiments and come to your own conclusions. There's always the thoughts on possible gas leaks to check for before any use, so don't be afraid to do that. If using a hose and refillable tank, here's a simple leak check I do. With everything connected and heater off, open the tank valve watching how the hose "jumps" when getting pressurized, then close the tank valve, wait 1-2 minutes, then open it again watching for another "Jump" in the hose. If it does jump again, that means gas leaked out over the 2 minutes, otherwise no jump means it held pressure. It is against fire codes to have a refillable tank inside (anything except 1 pound tanks), so I think that can give you another purpose in having a window cracked, yet I've seen a video on another heater that uses those big tanks with it shown used in a garage (despite the "Outdoor use only" label showing somewhat contradictory info). So lots to consider in using these including the surface it sits on (they warn "May cause floor fading or vinyl damage").
Question:	What size propane can does the heater use
Answer:	It has places for 2 of the small 1 pound tanks like you find in the camping section of stores like Walmart, Target, etc. You can also get a hose like the F273704 by Mr Heater and go to any bigger tank you want (like the 20 pound BBQ ones, or bigger or smaller). On high this will burn the 2 pounds from small tanks in 3 hours, so running it 12 hours in a good shop will burn near half a 20 pound tank in a day. Many like the bigger tanks for both length it runs and propane can go for $3 a gallon in bigger tanks vs $3 a quart in those disposable tanks.
Question:	Can this heater be used inside a camper
Answer:	Sure it can. I live full time in a 40 foot RV and use a Mr. Heater Big Buddy that is hooked to a external 30lb tank. Then my other main heater is a Olympian Wave 8 that is plumbed into my RV's propane line. It produces no C02 when its in use but it does consume oxygen so as a result your ceiling vent should be cracked open a inch or two. For every pound of propane used there is X amount of ounces of water that is released in the form of water vapor. Having a window ajar releases this out of the camper. You can also get a dehumidifier to deal with that. You will instantly know this if you use this with no windows open ... your windows will be covered in condensation. You might think leaving a window open will let the cold in ... quite the opposite. It creates a convection current that aids in the heating of your camper.

User questions & answers

Question:	if it has a thermostat, what temperature is it shutting off? I have a different fire place with a 73 degree shut off manufacturing setting,not enought
Answer:	I asked the manufacturer for the thermostate info. It has a knob on top from 1-5. 1-60.8°f 2-75.2°f 3-89.6°f 4-104°f 5-118.4°f He also said that they could vary slightly from heater to heater.
Question:	I don't see a pic or anything that shows where/how the fan mounts. Does anyone know
Answer:	The fan will mount on the back of the heater. There is a punch out that will be removed and the fan will go in it's place.
Question:	Would this heater work in a 2 car garage
Answer:	In short yes. we have this on the first floor of our house. it is not yet winter, but this is a 30,000 BTU heater; it heats the entire house fast - like 20 mins upstairs and down. I would say the same for a two car garage. I plan on moving this unit to the basement shop which is exposed to ground level in the back and unheated; basically a 1 car garage back there and I expect this to out perform. I will add one thing: this is the blue flame unit. I have had shop heaters before and prefer the radiant heaters (of which Mr Heater makes one just like this) - they have the clay looking elements in them that glow red/orange; those heaters will heat things in the space and then those items give off the heat. I used to aim one at my roll away tool box. in an area where you might have a lot of space up above, such as a loft the radiant version of this heater may be better as it will heat the items it is near with less heated air floating up. either way, this is a safe bet.
Question:	Does the mhvfb30ngt unit have an automatic igniter to maintain temperature or do you to to push an igniter switch to start it each time
Answer:	It has a pilot lit that will stay lit at all times, unless you turn the dial to the Off position. The heater will start up when the thermostat dial settings determines that it's time to turn the heater on.
Question:	I stripped the threads on the heater, how can i fix this
Answer:	You can tap it out if you have a tap and die set, otherwise you will have to order new parts
Question:	Want 30000 Btu radiant heater with blower
Answer:	The 30000 BTU heater will be the model number MHVFRD30LPT. Click on link provided to view the heater. https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-Corporation-Radiant-MHVFRD30LPT/dp/B01DPZ56KU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514918538&sr=8-1&keywords=MHVFRD30LPT
Question:	Will this work with a 20 pound tank
Answer:	Yes, but you will need to add a regulator between the heater and the 20 pound tank for safety
Question:	So, it has no thermostat but output is variable? How does this work
Answer:	It does NOT have a thermostat, settings are either high or low. It will NOT turn on and off on it's own when reaching certain temperatures, it even says its NOT thermostat controlled in the manual.

Radiant Vent Free Heaters

Our Vent Free heaters need no external power, great for power outages and applications with no electricity. They can be mounted to the wall with the supplied bracket or on the floor with the supplied feet.

Most common uses are rooms that don’t warm well so you can adjust the temperature level in them without having to affect the rest of the home.

There are two types of vent free heaters, blue flame (or convection heat) and Infrared (or radiant heat). The difference in these types of heat are how the warm.

The Infrared heater warms objects. It doesn’t warm the air like a Blue Flame. It can be put in an area with objects which the heater will heat and then the object will heat the air. Blue Flame warms the air, infrared warms objects, which heat the air.

Note: Units cannot be converted from Propane to Natural Gas and vice versa. They are not designed to be a primary source of heat, as they are designed to work with a furnace.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this one have a thermostat n blower
Answer:	Yes a blower and a thermostat.
Question:	I would like to use this at a cabin that is at 10,750 feet above sea level. Most appliances have to be ported differently. Will it work
Answer:	Yes but the mfg discusses elevation in the paperwork that comes with unit. I would call them
Question:	The specs do not list a blower. blower is mentioned is in the q&a section only. does it really have a blower? if so, why isn't it in the specs
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. A passive non forced air blower is available with all our vent free heaters 20K or larger. It is a purchase ad on.
Question:	How long is the blower power cord
Answer:	About 5 feet
Question:	Where do i buy natural gas for it
Answer:	You tap into an existing gas line
Question:	sq ft insulated garage (including garage door). Would this take care of warming up the garage
Answer:	I believe that it would. I have it in a 200 sq ft room with 13 ft ceilings, the house is 118 yrs old w/no insulation and it works very well. I do have the bigger size in another room.It has 3 burners instead of 2 and you can turn on 1,2 or all 3. It heats 2 rooms I have.
Question:	Is it possible to use with a thermostat rather than the low and high settings
Answer:	The heater is not designed to be used with an external thermostat.
Question:	How are the fumes vented ? I don't understand how you can burn something and not have to worry about carbon monoxide
Answer:	The fumes are not vented. Natural gas is mostly H₂, gasoline is about 50% carbon, coal is all carbon. So being mostly H₂, the combustion products are mostly H₂O with a little CO₂, not unlike what we breath out. Coal and gasoline will asphyxiate you fairly quickly because of the high carbon content, which must be vented outside.

User questions & answers

Question:	I ordered one of these but can't seem to find info on how it actually hooks up to the propane tank. Also, does it come with a tank
Answer:	It does not include a tank. You can get a Mr Heater hose that is 3/8 npt on one end and a tank fitting on the other end. The inlet on the heater is 3/8 npt.
Question:	Can this heater run with only the pilot flame on
Answer:	It is self-contained and automatic. The pilot setting will keep only the pilot burning. In heating mode it will automatically turn on and off at the desired temperature. The optional fan is not required but does not need to be plugged in if installed.
Question:	Does this have plate for built in fan
Answer:	Yes. Also wired for the fan so it is thermostatically controlled. Fan sold seperately.
Question:	How low can the thermostat be set? Can it keep a room just above freezing
Answer:	I use it to supplement my forced air heat. I would imagine in a room that is prone to freezing with the unit on it's lowest setting it would cycle quite a bit. It definitely kicks out a lot of heat.
Question:	How long will 20lb propaine last on lowest setting in insulated room
Answer:	Say a 10' x 10' room; about 12 to 16 hours. You MUST have some fresh air coming into the room or the O2 depletion will shut the heater off. Propane need air to burn just like most flames.
Question:	Is this safe in a 300 square foot cabin as the sole source of heat
Answer:	This is very large for a room of that size. I would recommend the 20,000 BTU model. That is ASIN B01DPZ5B3. These are designed as supplemental heat but it could be used for your application.
Question:	Does this product have built in regulator
Answer:	You must use an external regulator. You need some other hardware if you are going to use it on the floor. Here is what you need: ASIN:B0002YPAFY Rectorseal 23631 1/4 Pint Brush Top T Plus 2 Pipe Thread Sealant, ASIN:B0058DIGPU Anvil 8700137808, Steel Pipe Fitting, Nipple, 3/8" NPT Male x 4" Length, Black Finish, ASIN:B005R21QLS Mr. Heater 12-Feet Hose/Regulator Assembly, P.O.L. and Hand Wheel x 3/8-Inch Female Pipe Thread. If your heater did not include an elbow, get a 3/8" ASIN:B005C2U67I Anvil Malleable Iron Pipe Fitting, Class 150, 90 Degree Street Elbow, NPT Male x NPT Female, Black Finish. Put sealant on the outside threads only. Screw the elbow into the heater so that the opening faces the front of the heater. Screw the nipple into the elbow. Attach the feet that came with the heater. Screw the hose onto the nipple. Attach the other end of the hose to your propane tank. Check all connections with soapy water before lighting.
Question:	Will this burn in high elevation
Answer:	Yes as long as there is enough oxygen. Oxygen above 12000 feet altitude becomes thin and supports combustion less efficiently.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this unit made in China
Answer:	No. Made in Pennsylvania.
Question:	Can you adjust the heater angle so as to point heater where needed
Answer:	Yes, both heads swivel independently so you can direct heat where you need. You can also light only 1 head if you only need a little bit of heat
Question:	Will it blow out when you are outside
Answer:	Typically no unless a very strong wind comes along. I use mine outside exclusively and only had one side blow out even in a stiff wind.
Question:	How many hours will the propane last for with it on
Answer:	One gallon of propane has about 91,500 BTUs. On high, it burns 30,000 BTUS per hour. On low, it burns 8,000 BTUS per hour. So it will burn one gallon in 3 hours on high and and almost 11.5 hours on low. A standard 20 lb propane cylinder has a capacity of 4.7 gallons. Prefilled tanks from the exchange are less. So expect a maximum of 14 hrs 20 min on high and 53.75 hours on low for 4.7 gallons.
Question:	how long does it last on a small propane tank
Answer:	The 1# tank will ice up and slowly turn off the heater on anything but the lowest setting. That lasts about 2 hours. A little buddy heater with 4K/9K Btu works best with the 1# cylinders. I have the hose hookup for a 20# tank and it's nice to have the option of using either size. You have to light this one with a lighter which is just another thing to forget to pack.
Question:	Just tried to make coffee on it and the grill started to collapse is there a sturdier grill for it
Answer:	As far as I know... No. A simular thing happened to me. I reattached the grill using good old fashioned wire hanger twisted. This was only a temporary fix.
Question:	Did anyone get the "foot" for the 1 lb. bottles and is it a worthwhile add-on
Answer:	Not sure what you're referring to. The one lb. bottle hangs suspended when connected. I wouldn't recommend getting this model. Get the model MH12C if you can. The regulator broke after a couple months and I couldn't return it. Instead I bought the regulator that was for the MH12C and adapted it to fit the MH15C. Since then it's been working great for a year. I also recommend purchasing the hose adapter so you can run off a 20 lb. bottle. It'll last a lot longer
Question:	how long does a 1lb bottle last compared to a 20lb bottle
Answer:	A one pound bottle on medium setting will last about 1-1/2 hour so figure at least 25 hrs for a 20 pounder.
Question:	Where can the refill tanks be purchased
Answer:	These run on the little tanks that run a camp stove sold at Walmart, Costco or any sporting goods store. I don’t believe you can refill these.
Question:	Can this heater be used at 4000 meters over sea level, given that this unit shuts off automatically when low oxygen levels are detected
Answer:	I ended up sending crack the heater because the heater didn’t put out a lot of heat.
Question:	can I use this while I sleep in a 4 persons tent
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Please reveal if you know of adaptor/adaptors needed to mount this to a 5 gallon tank. Not finding it myself. Thanks
Answer:	I am not aware of any adapter. It seems to only fit the small tanks.
Question:	Is it OK to set the heater directly on the carpet
Answer:	I'm on my second heater and I've had literally hundreds of hours on my plush living room carpet without a hitch on the same spot on the carpet. I've checked it while running on high for many hours and my carpet just barely stays warm. All heat from the heater goes up. I've even checked with the fan off and on high with the same result. I bought the hose and drilled a hole through the back of my brick home and hooked up to a 20 pound propane bottle that I keep in a two door 3 foot high plastic cabinet. I absolutely love this thing.
Question:	How many hours will the batteries last at maximum
Answer:	The fan motor pulls 0.5A at 6V (I just ran it myself with a Fluke meter showing amps). Online sources say a D battery is ~12 amp-hour, so 24 hours run time seems max run time from full batteries.
Question:	Will mr heater 12' hose/regulator part # f273072 fit? that is the hose the salesman told me to get
Answer:	That hose will work, but you should add to that the filter F273699. Otherwise the F273704 hose is about the same but doesn't need the filter. The reason for the filter is most rubbers in hoses have oils that get "squeezed" out under high pressure and mess up the heater (but that 704 hose is made "oil-free"). On Big Buddy heaters you can also get the F271803 hose/regulator assembly. That connects to a low pressure "Quick Disconnect" port on the heater. It costs a bit more, but is easier for frequent connecting versus threading the others. FYI when connecting POL fittings to tanks (like the F273702 uses) many reviews say "I don't get gas thru the hose, but small tanks work" hinting the hoses fail. I've had no issues with the hoses and think many may not be getting the fitting tight enough. The tanks have a "childproof safety valve" that won't let gas out if a fitting isn't tight enough even with the tank top valve open, so you need to get it "finger tight" and then go about 1 more full turn with a wrench if needed. So beware that issue and the easy fix (to avoid returns etc.)
Question:	How many btus does mr. heater mh18b california approved "big buddy" indoor safe propane heater produce
Answer:	Per the manufacturer website: 4,000, 9,000, or 18,000 BTU per hour, depending on setting.

Answer:	Yes, there have been units with success over 4,500 ft, what this means is we aren't able to guarantee successful operation of these heaters are higher than 4,500 ft.
Question:	How many hours or days will it run with a 20# bottle
Answer:	I recently insulated a 14’ x 20‘ workshop attachment on my garage. I got this heater and before I bought a big tank I tried it on a 10 pound tank from my grill. It was set on number one setting the temperature outside was in the 30s and I got 64 hours out of it holding just over 60°. So I figure a 20 pound bottle should last me little over five days. So I’m going to get a 30 pound bottle that way I only have to refill about once a week. Warmer weather less often, I hope this helps.
Question:	It dont tell the dimensions? Is it 20" wide
Answer:	The dimensions for the heater are 23 3/4" W x 11 1/4" D x 27" H.
Question:	Can u use propane tank from a grill and how long would it last
Answer:	Quick math says about 17 hrs on full tank. This heater has a high and low output, controlled by the thermostat, not the user. One gallon propane would last approx 4 hours. A full 20 lb tank holds about 4.5 gallons.
Question:	how long does it last on a small propane tank
Answer:	The 1# tank will ice up and slowly turn off the heater on anything but the lowest setting. That lasts about 2 hours. A little buddy heater with 4K/9K Btu works best with the 1# cylinders. I have the hose hookup for a 20# tank and it's nice to have the option of using either size. You have to light this one with a lighter which is just another thing to forget to pack.
Question:	Just tried to make coffee on it and the grill started to collapse is there a sturdier grill for it
Answer:	As far as I know... No. A simular thing happened to me. I reattached the grill using good old fashioned wire hanger twisted. This was only a temporary fix.
Question:	Did anyone get the "foot" for the 1 lb. bottles and is it a worthwhile add-on
Answer:	Not sure what you're referring to. The one lb. bottle hangs suspended when connected. I wouldn't recommend getting this model. Get the model MH12C if you can. The regulator broke after a couple months and I couldn't return it. Instead I bought the regulator that was for the MH12C and adapted it to fit the MH15C. Since then it's been working great for a year. I also recommend purchasing the hose adapter so you can run off a 20 lb. bottle. It'll last a lot longer
Question:	how long does a 1lb bottle last compared to a 20lb bottle
Answer:	A one pound bottle on medium setting will last about 1-1/2 hour so figure at least 25 hrs for a 20 pounder.

Blue Flame Vent Free Heaters

Our Vent Free heaters need no external power, great for power outages and applications with no electricity. They can be mounted to the wall with the supplied bracket or on the floor with the supplied feet.

Most common uses are rooms that don’t warm well so you can adjust the temperature level in them without having to affect the rest of the home.

There are two types of vent free heaters, blue flame (or convection heat) and infrared (or radiant heat). The difference in these types of heat are how the warm.

The Blue Flame heater warms the air. It doesn’t radiate the heat like an infrared unit. It can be put in a narrow area because the heat rises and warms the area from the ceiling down. Blue Flame warms the air, infrared warms objects, which heat the air.

Note: Units cannot be converted from Propane to Natural Gas and vice versa. They are not designed to be a primary source of heat, as they are designed to work with a furnace.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this hook up to my natural gas system or is it just for use with 20 gallon tank you buy
Answer:	Not for natural gas. hook up to LP, any size tank. ours is hooked up to outside 100 # tank.
Question:	Can the fan be used if mounted on wall
Answer:	Yes. I have mine standing on the floor but it came with the hardware for wall mounting. The hardware included spacers so the fan will be able to breathe. However, the fan does require to be plugged in so you need to mount close to an outlet. The heater itself has a battery ignitor so it can be used during power outages.
Question:	Is anything else required for use with this heater? How does the propane hook up to it
Answer:	You will need to buy a hose and regulator to hook up to a propane tank. You will also need some adapter fittings for the gas line since the fitting on the heater is a 3/8 NPT and the typical hose has 3/8 Flare fitting. You can get a universal Gas hook up kit that has all the adapters plus a shut off valve. The shut off valve is critical if it will be hard lined into a gas system instead of off a separate tank
Question:	Does it have legs to set on the floor
Answer:	Yes, you have to attach them - very simple and only 4 screws. Very pleased with the Heater though I added a blower and the auto temp switch functions improperly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Prod descrip states this model has a built in silent electric ignition, but one of the cust comments indicates it's a standard piezo. Which is it
Answer:	This unit has a push button ignition. Clicks and lights. Globaltowne is an Authorized Mr. Heater distributor.
Question:	When using this heater with a 20 lb tank, do i need a regulator on that tank and hose
Answer:	No, using a hose like the F273704 will go to the "disposable tank" port and that expects high pressure gas (just as from the small tanks). The "Big Buddy" models have a Quick Disconnect port that takes in low pressure gas (and needs a regulator like the F281703 hose assembly), but not this or the Buddy MH9B models. I even tried running regulated gas into the Buddy heater, but it would stay like on "low" even though I put it on "high" showing not enough gas flow. So anything with a "disposable tank" connection expects high pressure gas (no regulators).
Question:	When I put the heater setting on low, it sputters and makes a lot of noise, is this normal, but works fine on high. Thanks
Answer:	Mine does the same. However, I found if I just adjust the temp selector just a little above low, slightly increasing the flow of gas but nothing like the high setting, the noise goes away. I literally shot a 6 point buck at 30 yards with the heater running like that this year.
Question:	which hoses can you use to connect 20 lb. tank
Answer:	The F273704 can be used alone. Many other hoses from mr heater (like F273701, F273702, F273703) and others can work that go to the "disposable tank" connection, but you'll need to add the "filter" with those others (item F273699). The reason for the filter is to catch oils that get "squeezed" out of most rubbers in hoses where the oils mess up the heater, but the 704 hose is made "oil-free" to not need it. Those are the choices for this model.
Question:	Can the 2 heating heads be rotated and if so, independently of each other
Answer:	They can be rotated independently
Question:	do you need electric to ignite
Answer:	You do need thumbs, but no electricity.
Question:	The burners light but switch off after i release the safety shut off valve plunger, no matter how long i keep it pushed in. it should stay lit
Answer:	Not sure if you have your problem fixed yet. But I had the same problem awhile back. I pushed the sensor probe closer to the heat element. I was too far away to stay heated and keep the unit on.
Question:	How long does a normal supermarket propane tank last with this unit
Answer:	That depends first I have no idea what a "Supermarket propane Tank" is, if it is a standard 20lb propane tank which you see on every gas grill and on this illustration then I can answer that question. 1 gallon of propane weighs 4.2 pounds, a 20 pound tank weighs 17 lbs empty and 37 lbs with 20 lbs of propane in it, a "full" 20 lb cylinder should have 4.7 gallons or propane in it.Now we have to discuss this model of Mr. heater which has two burners, you can run it on one or both and you can set it for low medium or high which is many differentt total burn times, I will assume either one or both with no mixture of settings.Single burner approx. operating hr.: 52/Low 37/Med 30/HighBTU output: 8,000 12,000 14,000Double burner approx. operating hr.: 25/Low 18/Med 15/HighBTU output: 16,000 24,000 28,000
