You need a regulator. I have mine plumbed into a 350 gallon tank outside. Its the only thing on the tank right now but as far as lighting and staying lit it works great. As I said in my review it will run you out of a small room due to no thermostat.

what is better heating for a basement propane heater blue flame or radiant where the room is an office and has a sleeper area in it
1 answer-
These heaters are not to be used in an enclosed area or sleeping area. They need to be installed in an open area, such as a family room. There is no difference the BTU output if use the blue flame or radiant heater. The difference is in how they heat, the blue flame heats the air like a furnace and the radiant heats like the sun.

Explain please the 4500 altitude restriction, thnks
1 answer-
Manufacturers of vent-free appliances typically to not recommend not using their products above 4500 –5000 FT. The higher the altitude may cause pilot outages, due to the incomplete combustion of the gas caused by the low oxygen level.

Will the heater work on a 1 lb propane bottle. What exactly is required to hook up any propane bottle or tank to the heater.

The heater would not work on a 1 pound propane cylinder. It would require a minimum of a 20 pound cylinder. See our item #66446 for a hose and regulator to connect it to a 20 pound tank.
