14 Hours Per Gallon

Radiant King has introduced a new U.L. approved line of smokeless, odorless portable kerosene heaters engineered to heat areas as large as 550 sq. ft.

The new models are wick fed and unpressurized. Safety features include an automatic shut-off switch, a battery powered push-button ignition, and a child-proof safetY fuel tank.

Depending on the unit, the heaters can produce from 8,000 BTU's to 15,500 BTU's, with continuous heating times of from 14 hours to 22 hours on a little more than a gallon of kerosene. The new models have wider polished reflectors and frosted glass enclosed combustion chambers. The frosted glass disperses the heat better to produce greater thermal heat off the reflector.

Attic Ventilation System

Leslie-Locke has a new continuous ridge attic ventilation system.

It is said to be an innovation in static vent systems, completely engineered, with no cutting or splic- ing required. It fits most roof designs without alterations. The independent suspension design assures positive air circulation at all roof pitches.

Extra wide drainage holes guard against a dam effect in the event of heavy rain or snow. Pre-punched, slotted nail holes allow for expansion and contraction as the weather changes. In addition, the aerodynamic design of the Ridge Runner provides the maximum air flow, while blending into any roofscape.

Consisting of 4-ft. modular sections made from sturdy embossed aluminum, it can be installed using common tools and comes packaged in cartons of twelve.

It is available in aluminum finish, or painted black or brown.
