Direct Short-Range Gas Heaters



Built for outdoor use, these heaters warm people at worksites and other cold spots without access to electricity. Connect heaters to a propane tank and light with a match. They have a regulator with a NGO connection (the same connection between your gas grill and propane tank). All have a safety shut-off that cuts the gas supply if the flame goes out.

Insulating Wrap-Around Heaters for Propane Tanks


Keep gas flowing even when the temperature drops—also known as heat blankets, these heaters wrap around propane tanks to safely warm liquefied gas so it can vaporize. They’re insulated with foam, so they retain heat even in chilly environments. Their built-in thermostat heats up to 90° F, then automatically adjusts the power output to keep your tank consistently warm. Because you can’t adjust the thermostat, there’s no risk of accidentally changing the set temperature. These heaters are sized to fit industry-standard propane tanks. Quickly install and remove them using the buckles or latches.
Made of heavy duty vinyl, these heaters stand up to scuffs, water, and UV rays, so they last even outdoors. The vinyl is NFPA rated for flame retardance; however, you shouldn’t use these heaters near combustible gases or dust. A GFCI is built into the power cord to prevent electrical shocks.
