An ideal primary or secondary heating source for your RV, home, cabin or in some cases your tent, Camco Olympian series Wave heaters can be used as portable space heaters and in most cases can be wall mounted, either in a recessed position* or on a flat surface. Olympian series Wave heaters operate on low pressure HD-5 propane gas only and are equipped with a 100% safety shutoff valve to prevent accidental non-ignition fuel discharge. The built-in automatic Piezo electric spark starter will last for 20,000 starts. Also, because it uses safe, clean and efficient propane there is never a drain on your battery.
The sun is an excellent example of radiant heat transfer, because it transmits energy through space, releasing heat when its rays strike objects and people. Like the sun, Olympian heaters radiate heat directly to people, floors, walls and other objects without heating the air first, so warmth is felt immediately. Radiant heat is absorbed by objects and then emitted into the air to heat the surrounding area. Therefore, your Olympian heater should be oriented to direct its heat rays toward the space to be heated, much like a floodlight is positioned to illuminate a desired area.
* Only the Olympian Wave 6 and Wave 8 Heaters may be recessed into the wall. Wave 6 and Wave 8 Heats can be hung in vertical or horizontal positions. Recessed mounting also requires the Olympian Chrome Recess Mounting kit, sold separately.

Convenient Heat for Your RVs, Cabin or Home
Camco Olympian Wave heaters are designed and built to provide years of comfortable, radiant heat and economical LP Gas consumption. Olympian heaters produce mostly radiant heat as a result of a flameless catalytic combustion process. Its efficiency is high because combustion takes place at relatively low temperatures. The wavelength of the radiant heat produced by Olympian heaters is particularly effective for creating a feeling of warm comfort similar to solar radiation.The sun is an excellent example of radiant heat transfer, because it transmits energy through space, releasing heat when its rays strike objects and people.

Safe, Clean Efficient Propane
Camco Olympian Wave heaters utilize safe, clean efficient HD-5 propane gas. Heaters are designed to operate with a manifold pressure (the gas pressure downstream from the appliance controls) of 10.5" w.c. (0.38 psig). A gas supply pressure of 11" w.c. (0.40 psig) minimum is required at the heater controls. In addition, the supply line must be equipped at the cylinder with a listed low pressure LP regulator set to deliver the specified pressure. To ensure that you are getting a quality product, each Olympian Wave heater undergoes rigorous safety, performance and quality assurance testing before leaving the factory with the end goal to produce a product that delivers years of trouble-free service.Key Features

Camco 57351 Olympian R-Volt Wave-8 8000 BTU LP Gas Catalytic Heater Reviews
16 of 16 people found the following review helpful:  Camco Olympian Wave 8 Heater, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Camco 57351 Olympian R-Volt Wave-8 8000 BTU LP Gas Catalytic Heater (Automotive) The unit has been used twice and works perfectly. In addition, when I had a question about the unit, the tech support folks were right there with speedy, courteous information. For their size, these heaters do not have the raw output of something like a "Buddy Heater." However, there are some big differences. Buddy Heaters do not work above 7,000 feet. Therefore, of little use in Colorado. Second, these heaters burn exceptionally clean requiring very little ventillation. Previously, I was using a radiant kerosene heater to keep my enclosed trailer warm during hunting season. It took huge amounts of ventillation to keep the carbon monoxide detector from going off (read "to stay alive".) A clean efficient burning process is critical for me when I use the heater for my hunting trailer. In addition, because these heaters hook up to a large propane tank, they can run for a very long time with no input from the user. I am very satisfied with this unit. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Great Heater!, By Jay-Ski (Colorado) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Camco 57351 Olympian R-Volt Wave-8 8000 BTU LP Gas Catalytic Heater (Automotive) I purchased this heater to use in my cargo trailer/camper at high altitudes. While I haven't been camping this winter I use the heater to warm an 8' x 12' insulated shed at home (altitude 8600') on low, with outdoor temps in the single digits it keeps the building comfortable. It is rated for use at altitudes up to 12,000 feet, there is no odor and it uses very little propane! My only complaint is that there is no standing pilot or way to regulate temperature (thermostat) it's either off or on. There are three settings, but that's it. I guess this is due to the design of the catalytic pad and a small trade-off for such a great heater. This heater is well constructed with quality materials and I expect it will last a long time. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another and highly recommend it. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: A Great Heater With One Minor Factory Induced Flaw, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Camco 57351 Olympian R-Volt Wave-8 8000 BTU LP Gas Catalytic Heater (Automotive) This is a great heater. There is one factory defect that needs to be addressed. The cap of the control valve on some of the heaters was machined too deep preventing the control valve shaft to be fully depressed. This prevents the opening of the gas flow prohibiting the ignition of the Catalytic Heating Element. The solution: Pull off the Control valve cap and stuff a small ball of paper into the sleeve. This reduces the length of the sleeve and allows the full depression of the the shaft allowing ignition. Then call the company and ask for a replacement cap. Don't let this small problem prevent you from buying this great heater. Stay warm and enjoy! |
