Heavy stainless brackets extend 10 to 18 in and pivot 0 to 30 degrees to aim the heat.

Installation Notes
Lynx makes the LHEM48 for outdoor use only, never in a garage, building, shed, breezeway or other enclosed area, and asks that the mount hold at least 100 lb. Keep the listed clearances to combustibles, observe local head clearance codes, and have trained, licensed personnel make the gas connection. In New York City, gas work must be done by a licensed master plumber under a DOB permit, and propane tank storage in the city carries FDNY rules, so confirm the fuel with us before you order. Book a free design consultation and we will help you place the heater.

Does it need electricity?
It can run on batteries, but Lynx recommends the included AC adapter on a grounded GFI outlet, with batteries as backup.
Can it run on propane?
Yes. Order the LHEM48-LP; propane gives three heat levels from the remote.
