Portable Natural Gas Heater
The Dayton 3VE56 is a portable torpedo heater that runs on natural gas and delivers 150000 BtuH of heat output. It operates on a 120 Volt supply and uses an electronic ignition system with a built-in thermostat for temperature control.
6 Inch 120V Cord Included
The unit ships with a six inch 120 Volt power cord so it can be plugged into a standard outlet without additional wiring. Intermittent spark ignition lights the burner automatically when the thermostat calls for heat.

Questions about this item
How often does the electronic ignition system need servicing on the Dayton 3VE56?
The electronic ignition with thermostat is designed for reliable starts; periodic inspection of the spark electrode and cleaning of the burner ports is recommended each heating season.
What limits continuous run time on the 150000 BtuH natural gas heater?
The 146 cu. ft/hr fuel rate and 435 CFM airflow define the thermal output; the 1/8 HP motor and 120 V supply set the electrical limit during sustained operation.
How loud and hot does the 25.59-inch torpedo heater get when running all day?
The 1/8 HP motor and 435 CFM fan produce noticeable airflow noise, while the 150000 BtuH output raises surrounding temperatures; ensure 120 V circuit capacity and clearances per the manual.
