Empire Industries HB30MN Blue Flame Heater 30000 Btu/h

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES HB30MN is a vent-free blue flame heater rated at 30,000 BTU/h and designed for natural gas operation with manual control. Blue flame technology heats the air in a room by convection, warming the space evenly from floor to ceiling rather than radiating heat from a surface. The manual control allows direct operation without electronic ignition components, keeping the unit straightforward to service and operate. Licensed HVAC technicians and gas service professionals are the typical installers for this type of supplemental heating equipment.

This heater is suited for supplemental space heating in residential and light commercial applications where a direct-vent or central system is not practical or cost-effective. Typical installations include garages, workshops, cabins, basements, and utility rooms. The 30,000 BTU/h output is appropriate for medium-sized spaces. Natural gas supply is required, and the unit is not rated for propane operation based on available product data.

Key Features

• 30,000 BTU/h heating capacity for medium-sized spaces
• Blue flame convection heating distributes warm air throughout the room
• Natural gas fuel type — no propane conversion indicated
• Manual control operation — no electronic ignition required
• Vent-free design eliminates the need for flue pipe or chimney connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct unit for residential and light commercial vent-free blue flame heater applications requiring a 30,000 BTU/h natural gas manual-control heater.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed gas technician in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the main valve before making any gas line connections. Vent-free heaters require adequate room air volume and ventilation as specified by local building codes — verify square footage and air exchange requirements before installation. Do not operate on propane or any fuel type other than that specified on the unit rating plate.
