Modine 78724 Outdoor Infrared Patio Heater 34000 Btu/h

Product Description

The MODINE 78724 is a natural gas infrared patio heater rated at 34,000 BTU/h, designed for outdoor installation in residential and commercial settings. Operating on a 24-volt AC control circuit with direct spark ignition, it delivers radiant heat instantly upon startup without requiring a fan to circulate air. This eliminates the heat-loss associated with fan-forced units. The brushed stainless steel housing resists corrosion in exposed outdoor environments. It is ETL Design Certified to ANSI Z83.26 and rated for elevations from 0 to 6,000 feet.

This heater is suited for outdoor patios, restaurant dining areas, hospitality venues, and covered commercial or residential outdoor spaces where season extension is the goal. The wind- and rain-protected enclosure makes it appropriate for partially exposed installations. Externally mounted controls provide easy field access to the gas valve, control systems, transformer, and gas orifices without disassembling the unit. The potted, water-resistant 24-volt circuitry adds durability in wet or humid outdoor conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed gas fitter or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local codes and the applicable requirements of ANSI Z83.26 and the International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the gas supply and disconnect control power before servicing any components. Verify the natural gas supply pressure is within the range specified on the unit nameplate before commissioning. Externally mounted controls allow field adjustment without full unit disassembly, but all work should be performed with the unit de-energized.
