Modine Commercial Workspace Heater - 250K 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
- 250,000 BTU
- Intermittent Pilot Ignition
- Single stage - on/off operation
- Aluminized steel heat exchanger & burner

Q: What type of space is this heater suitable for?
A: With 250,000 BTUs, this heater is ideal for larger commercial spaces like warehouses, factories, and large workshops, effectively heating areas up to 4,000 sq. ft.
Q: Is this Modine heater energy-efficient?
A: Yes, the intermittent pilot ignition system reduces unnecessary fuel consumption, providing an energy-efficient heating solution for your commercial space.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Burners & Heat Exchanger – Regularly clean the burners and aluminized steel heat exchanger to ensure efficient operation and prevent buildup that could affect performance.
-
Inspect Gas Lines & Connections – Check for any leaks, wear, or loose connections in the gas lines to ensure safe and efficient operation.
-
Clear Air Intake & Exhaust Vents – Keep air intake and exhaust vents free from debris to maintain proper airflow and avoid overheating.
-
Check Intermittent Pilot Ignition – Make sure the intermittent pilot ignition system is functioning properly to ensure reliable startup and safe operation.
-
Monitor Burner Flame – Inspect the burner flame regularly, ensuring it is clean, blue, and steady, which indicates proper combustion.
-
Verify Thermostat Accuracy – Ensure that the thermostat is calibrated correctly to maintain the desired temperature and prevent energy waste.
-
Maintain Air Filters – Clean or replace air filters to prevent dirt and dust buildup that can obstruct airflow and decrease heater efficiency.
-
Annual Professional Inspection – Schedule an annual inspection with a professional technician to ensure the system operates safely and efficiently.
