WARNING!
Fire or Explosion
Interchanging fuel flow control valves between Space Heater Arctic (SHA) and H-45 Large
Radiant Space Heater is not allowed! Operating a heater with an incorrect valve could
result in fire or explosion!
Do not use unauthorized fuels! Use of unauthorized fuel may result in fire/explosion!
Tent exhaust opening closure flap must be rolled and tied securely. Tent may catch fire if
hot stack assembly contacts the flap.
Poorly fitted stack sections may allow hot stack to fall on tent and start a fire, or deadly
carbon monoxide to leak into tent. Ensure sections seat together fully.
Heat or sparks from stack assembly could ignite fuel supply. Set up fuel supply on a clear
site seven feet (approx. 2.5 meters) from tent and away from flame sources.
If fuel flow control valve assembly is improperly positioned or if bracket is bent, a fuel
overflow could occur inside burner shell and cause a fire or explosion.
For safe operation, be sure to allow at least one (2) feet (61 cm) of space between the
heater and the tent wall. Never relight a extinguished flame while the heater is hot. Be
sure to allow the heater to cool completely before attempting to relight. Do not attempt to
replenish the fuel supply while the heater is in operation. Be certain that there is no open
flame in the vicinity of liquid fuel.
WARNING!
Stack Fire Potential
When operating the heater in solid fuel mode, a buildup of creosote can accumulate on
the inside surface of the stack assembly that may result in a fire inside the stack. To
prevent creosote buildup when operating with solid fuel, the stack assembly should be
cleaned daily. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing severe injury or death.
WARNING!
Explosion Potential - Do Not Use Unauthorized Fuels
Gasoline, JP-4, Used Motor Oil, Solvents or other unauthorized fuels should NOT be used
with the SHA under any circumstance. Only approved liquid and solid fuels may be used.
Using unauthorized fuels in the SHA will create a fire danger and potential for explosion.
a
TM 10-4520-261-12&P
WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide
During operation, the SHA produces harmful carbon monoxide (CO) and other gases. Carbon
monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. Mild cases of carbon monoxide
poisoning can cause symptoms such as nausea, dizziness or headaches. Severe cases of
carbon monoxide poisoning can result in brain damage, heart damage or death. Remember
that although CO has no telltale odor, it may mix with other odors which mask its presence;
therefore, CO can be present within a mix of seemingly harmless odors.
To prevent CO poisoning, ensure that the SHA exhaust stack sections fit together snugly and
that the exhaust gases are properly vented through the roof of the shelter.
The best way to prevent CO poisoning is to keep the SHA in good working order. Ensure that
all possible sources of CO leakage have been repaired and that the operating space is well
ventilated.
WARNING!
Hot Surfaces
Do not attempt to handle or perform services on an SHA that has recently been in operation.
Let the space heater cool down before performing these procedures to avoid the possibility of
serious burns.
WARNING!
Two Person Lift
The SHA weighs approximately 40 pounds (18 kg). Two persons must carry the SHA when
lifting or lowering the unit from 3 feet or more. Be sure to lift with legs, not back, to prevent
injury.
WARNING!
Cut Hazard
Some metal components of SHA may have sharp edges. Be careful when handling and
assembling the SHA to prevent cuts.
b
TM 10-4520-261-12&P
WARNING!
Freeze Hazard
Severe injury may occur to personnel handling metal parts without protective gloves when
temperatures are below freezing. Skin may freeze upon contact and tear from the flesh.
Do not allow fuel to come in contact with bare skin. Even though fuel does not freeze, it is
extremely cold and will burn exposed skin on contact. Wear protective gloves whenever
handling or working with liquid fuel.

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
Stack cap assembly (1). The Stack Cap Assembly is installed on the top of the nested stack assembly
(4) to prevent down-drafts from entering the heater during operation. It also prevents rain, leaves, and
other debris from entering the stack assembly. Guy lines (2), secured to three wire ropes (3), lead to
ground stakes that stabilize the entire stack assembly (4) in an upright (vertical) position during heater
operation.
Nested stack assembly (4). Consists of six pipe sections (middle sections not shown) of decreasing
diameter. When assembled, the sections form a cone-shaped stack with the largest diameter section at
the base and the smallest diameter at the top. Each section is flanged on its smaller end in order to fit into
the next higher section. The assembly (4) seats in the stack adaptor assembly (5), allowing combustion
gases to discharge outside the tent during operation. When disassembled, the sections fit inside each
other for storage in the upper portion of the heater body (6).
Heater body assembly (6). Basic shell of the heater.
Lid assembly (7). The lid assembly (7) fits into a circular opening on the top surface of the heater. The
built-in sight glass (8) allows the user to monitor the burner flame. It also permits access to the burner
down tube assembly (9) when igniting liquid fuel. The lid assembly (7) is stored in the upper portion of the
heater body (15).
Door assembly (10). Hinged door is secured with a slide latch. When opened, it allows access to install
and remove the solid fuel grate (11) and burner cover assembly (12). It permits adding and igniting fuel in
solid fuel operation. A built-in sliding draft gate (13) allows burn rate control during solid fuel operation
only.
Burner cover assembly (12). During solid fuel operation, this cover (12) is positioned on top of burner
shell (18) to prevent ashes, coals, and embers from falling into the burner shell. During liquid fuel
operation, the cover (12) is positioned in the frame of the door assembly, and held in position by the
closed door (10), to achieve a tight air seal.
Solid fuel grate (11). Elevates solid fuel while it burns to allow for air circulation and to provide an area
for ash deposits. The Solid Fuel Grate MUST be removed prior to liquid fuel operation.
Rear door (14). The Rear Door fits on the rear of the heater and acts to contain the parts which may be
stored in the storage enclosure (15) while the heater is not in use.
Rear storage enclosure (15). Accessed through the rear door (14) and used to stow all loose parts that
will not fit inside the heater body during transport of the heaters. Items stored in this area include the Fuel
Flow Control Valve (16), Stack Cap Assembly (1), and Gravity Feed Adaptor (26).
Burner shell assembly (17). Area of combustion in liquid fuel mode. Consists of a perforated burner
shell (18), high fire ring (19), and up-tube (20) which is welded into the base of the burner shell (18). It
permits fuel vapors to flow into the down-tube assembly (9) during operation.
Down-tube assembly (9). A capped down tube which is positioned on the up-tube (20) and removable
through the lid assembly (7). A superheater ring is located on the exterior for heat transfer. During
operation, fuel flows into the up-tube (20) where its level is gravity-maintained with the fuel flow control
0002 00-1
TM 10-4520-261-12&P
valve (16). Fuel vaporizes due to combustion heat and fuel vapor is expelled from the up-tube (20), down
through the down tube and into the burner shell (18) where it ignites. The down-tube (9) and up-tube (20)
are cleaned with the reaming tool (21), which is kept inside the heater body during storage (15). The
reaming tool (21) should be stored in an accessible yet protected location when not in use.
Fuel flow control valve (16). Mounts to a “T” shaped bracket (22) and slides into postion on the right
side of the heater body (6). The valve (16) functions safely with the liquid fuels specified in this work
package. When set properly, internal orifices match the viscosities of the fuels being used to meter the
correct fuel flow to the burner. The cup/cable assembly (23) is attached to the bracket and is used for
measuring fuel to prime the heater in liquid fuel mode.
Fuel can stand, collapsible (24) (optional item). Allows the fuel can (25) to be mounted in an inverted
postion to permit gravity fuel feed to the fuel flow control valve (16). (Note: The Fuel Can Stand is
available as an Additional Authorized Item as detailed in WP 0045).

TM 10-4520-261-12&P
THEORY OF OPERATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
General. The Space Heater Arctic (SHA) can operate using either liquid or solid fuel. In liquid fuel mode,
the heater requires an external supply of gravity-fed fuel. In solid fuel mode, the heater operates
independently of outside equipment on a regularly maintained supply of wood or coal. When using liquid
or solid fuel, combustion gases are exhausted out the roof of the shelter through the stack assembly.
The heater has variable heat output, and can be controlled by the operator. During liquid fuel operation,
heat output is controlled with the fuel flow control valve. When operating with solid fuel, the heat output is
controlled using the draft gate and by controlling the supply of fuel.
During normal operation, and with proper burn rate control, the heater will produce an even, yellow-colored
flame. The SHA will not emit smoke or other combustion gases into the space being heated. Proper
safety precautions should be maintained in the area surrounding the heater as the entire unit will be hot
during operation.
The SHA requires minimal maintenance which includes the removal of ash deposits during and after
operation in solid fuel mode as well as the periodic wipe out of the burner shell. Refer to the Preventive
Maintenance Checks and Services as detailed in work package 0010 for more information.
LIQUID FUEL OPERATION
CAUTION!
All components in the storage enclosure must be removed during
operation. Components remaining inside the storage compartment could
be damaged by high heat.
Gravity-fed liquid fuel (refer to work package 0001 for a list of authorized fuels) flows from the inverted fuel
can (1) through fuel hoses to the fuel flow control valve (2). Fuel settings are made on the fuel flow
control valve (2) based on the temperature of the fuel being used. Fuel is directed through internal orifices
and then flows into the burner up-tube (3) inside the burner shell assembly (4).
With access through the lid opening (5), a small amount of fuel is poured and ignited in the bottom of the
burner shell assembly (4). A burning piece of fuel-dampened tissue is placed at the bottom of the burner
shell assembly (4) with the help of the reamer tool (6). After five to ten minutes, enough heat is produced
by the burning priming fuel to vaporize fuel within the up-tube (3). Fuel vapors are generated and are
discharged into the downtube (7), where it enters the burner shell assembly (4), mixes with air, and is
combusted. By the time all the priming fuel is consumed, the combustion process has been established
and will continue as long as there is fuel in the fuel can (1) or the Fuel Flow ON/OFF control of the Fuel
Flow Control Valve (2) is in the ON postion.
Air, required for combustion, is drawn through the bottom of the heater and into the burner shell assembly
(4). The burner cover (8) is set into the door frame (only in liquid fuel mode), and the door (9) shut and
latched. This prevents air leakage into the upper heater body while the heater is in use which would
impair operating efficiency.
0003 00-1
TM 10-4520-261-12&P
THEORY OF OPERATION
The flame is monitored through the sight glass (10) on the lid assembly (5). Combustion gases pass from
the burner shell assembly (4) through the upper heater body, through the stack adaptor assembly (11), up
through the telescopic stack assembly (12), and outside the shelter through the stack cap assembly (13).
Heat output is controlled by positioning the fuel flow adjustment knob (14) of the fuel flow control valve (2),
limiting the amount of fuel sent to the burner shell assembly (4) for combustion.

THEORY OF OPERATION
SOLID FUEL OPERATION
CAUTION!
All components in the storage enclosure must be removed during
operation. Components remaining inside the storage compartment could
be damaged by high heat.
CAUTION!
Do not overfill the heater when using coal as a solid fuel. Coal is very
dense and produces a very high heat output. Using too much coal in the
heater will overfire the unit and make it very difficult to control the heat
output.
The burner cover (1) is set over the burner shell assembly (2) and prevents ashes, coals, and embers
from collecting in the burner shell assembly (2) during operation. Paper and small pieces of fuel (kindling)
are positioned and ignited with a match on the solid fuel grate (3), which elevates the fuel to ensure proper
air circulation, and allows a space for falling ash to accumulate. When the kindling begins to burn steadily,
larger pieces of wood or coal are added to increase heat output.
The flame is monitored through the sight glass (4). Combustion gases flow through the stack adaptor
assembly (5), up the telescopic stack assembly (6), and through the stack cap assembly (7) to the outside
of the shelter.
Heat output is controlled by the amount of fuel placed in the heater and the positioning the sliding draft
gate (8), which controls air intake.
Care should be used in determining the amount of solid fuel to be placed in the heater. Coal is a very
dense fuel and will provide very high heat output. A small amount of coal should be used to start the
heater. Do not overfill the heater with coal as it may over fire the unit and make it very difficult to control
the heat output.

WARNING!
Fire Danger
Poorly fitted stack sections may allow hot stack to fall on shelter and start
a fire, or deadly carbon monoxide to leak into shelter. Ensure sections
seat together securely.
WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide
During operation, the SHA produces harmful carbon monoxide (CO) and
other gases. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless
gas. Mild cases of carbon monoxide poisoning can cause symptoms
such as nausea, dizziness or headaches. Severe cases of carbon
monoxide poisoning can result in brain damage, heart damage or death.
Remember that although CO has no telltale odor, it may mix with other
odors which mask its presence; therefore, CO can be present within a
mix of seemingly harmless odors.
To prevent CO poisoning, ensure that the SHA exhaust stack sections fit
together snugly and that the exhaust gases are properly vented through
the roof of the shelter.
The best way to prevent CO poisoning is to keep the SHA in good

working order. Ensure that all possible sources of CO leakage have been
repaired and that the operating space is well ventilated.
0005 00-8
TM 10-4520-261-12&P
Tie one end of each shelter line (1) to each wire rope (2) on stack cap (3). Set this assembly aside.
Unnest the stack assembly and assemble stack sections (4-9), in order of decreasing size, onto the
crimped end of each adjoining stack section. Each stack section is stamped on the side with a number.
The largest diameter stack section is stamped “1” and installs in the heater body. The smallest diameter
stack section is stamped “6” and is the topmost stack section. Lift the assembled exhaust stack (10) and
pass it through the exhaust opening (11).
Outside the Shelter
As the stack assembly passes through the exhaust opening (11), have a person on the outside of the
shelter install and fully seat the stack cap (3) with attached lines (1) onto topmost stack section (4).
Inside the shelter, raise the stack assembly and position the bottom stack (9) into the stack adaptor
opening (12). This completes the assembled exhaust stack (10).
On the outside of the shelter, drive three stakes (not supplied with SHA) (13) into ground, positioned
evenly apart and a minimum of six feet (1.83 meters) from the base of heater (14) as it is positioned
inside the shelter.
WARNING!
Fire Danger
It is important to stake the exhaust stack securely since this will keep the
exhaust stack vertical and seated firmly within the stack adapter with a
downward force. This also stabilizes the heater and helps prevent it from
being knocked over if bumped by equipment or people inside the shelter.
Secure staking assists in holding the shelter roof and sides is position
during windy conditions. If the guy lines are improperly spaced and/or
loose, the shelter roof and sides can flap during snowy, windy conditions.
If the shelter itself is not taut, the roof and side walls can flap, getting
quite close to the heater, creating a fire danger.
Making sure that the assembled exhaust stack (10) is positioned straight, tie the stack cap guy lines (1)
securely to the stakes (13) to prevent it from swaying (be sure that the stack cap guy lines (1) are taut
when complete).

OPERATING THE THERMOELECTRIC FAN (TEF)

(optional item, refer To AAL, WP 0045)
WARNING!
Hot Surfaces
The base plate of the TEF gets very hot during operation. Take care in
handling the fan to avoid burns or other serious injury.
CAUTION!
Do not block the flow of air out of the fan by placing gloves or other
articles on the grill of the fan.
The base plate of the TEF gets very hot during operation. If it is
necessary to remove the TEF from the Lid Assembly while the heater is
in operation, be sure to place the TEF on a surface that will not melt or
burn.
The Thermoelectric Fan (TEF) (1) helps to circulate the heat generated by the space heater (2) to the
floor and throughout the shelter. The TEF is self powered and generates its own power directly from the
heat radiated by the space heater. As the TEF base plate heats up, that heat is converted into electrical
energy to operate the fan. The TEF is an optional piece of equipment and is listed in the Additional
Authorization Items list (WP 0045).
To unpack the TEF from its storage container (3), release the latches (4) that secure the cover (5) and
remove. Grasp the TEF by the handle (6) mounted on the grill and lift out of the container (3).
To operate the TEF, remove the sight glass cover (7) from the top of the lid assembly (8) and allow it to

as follows:
CAUTION!
Do Not Leave Any Components Inside Heater Frame
removed prior to solid fuel operation. Components are stored in both the
upper and lower portions of the heater. Most of these items are liquid fuel
components which could be damaged by high heat when the heater is
PREPARATION FOR SOLID FUEL OPERATION

Ensure that all components have been unpacked as discussed earlier in this work package. Ensure that
the heater is positioned properly in the shelter and that the stack assembly has been installed as
described in the section entitled “Assembling the Stack Assembly” found earlier in this work package.
Open front door (1) and verify that the burner cover assembly (2) is installed over the burner. If the burner
cover assembly (2) is installed in the door frame, remove it from the door frame, lift the solid fuel grate (3)
and put the burner cover in position over the burner (4) as described earlier in this work package in the
section entitled “Installing the Burner Cover Assembly and Solid Fuel Grate”.
Make certain that the solid fuel grate (3) is in position on its feet.
PREHEATING THE FLUE
To help ensure that no smoke blows back into the shelter on heater startup, the flue should be preheated
by opening the door (1) and placing 2 or 3 crumpled pieces of paper on the solid fuel gate (3). Ignite the
paper with a match, close and latch the front door (1) and open the draft gate (5). When the paper has
burned completely, add solid fuel and start the heater as described below.
ADDING SOLID FUEL AND STARTING THE HEATER
WARNING!
Fire or Explosion
Do not use any type of accelerant (i.e. gas, kerosene, jet fuel etc.) to
help ignite solid fuel. Explosion or uncontrolled fire may result.
0005 00-25
TM 10-4520-261-12&P
WARNING!
Stack Fire
When operating the heater in solid fuel mode, a buildup of creosote can
accumulate on the inside surface of the stack assembly that may result
in a fire inside the stack. To prevent creosote buildup when operating
with solid fuel, the stack assembly should be cleaned daily. Failure to do
so may result in a fire causing severe injury or death.
CAUTION!
Warping of Heater
Heater components may warp from excessive heat caused by an over
fueled fire. Wood and coal can burn extremely hot depending on the
type and size of fuel used. Do not overfuel fire and clean ashes
frequently. If coal is being used as a fuel, add only a small amount of
coal at a time. Coal is very dense and provides high heat output.
Overfilling the heater with coal will cause the heater to run extremely hot
and it will be very difficult to control the heater’s temperature output.
WARNING!
Hot Surfaces
Door and lid assemblies are very hot during operation. Use the cleaning
tool to open the lid or unlatch/open the front door. Handling door or lid
assemblies during operation may result in severe burns.
After preheating the flue as described above, open the front door (1) and position enough crumpled paper
on solid fuel grate (3) to cover it. If using wood as a solid fuel, stack four to five pieces wood
approximately ¼ to ½ inches in diameter (kindling) in a crisscross fashion on top of paper. If using coal as
a solid fuel, place 10-12 pieces of coal that are approximately 2 inches in diameter on top of the paper.
Light the paper with a match. When kindling begins to burn steadily, place 2-3 larger pieces of wood or a
small amount of additional coal on top of kindling. Fuel may be fed either through lid (4) or front door
assembly (1).
Shut/latch door (1). Keep door (1) and lid (4) assemblies shut except when fueling fire or removing
ashes.
Adjust sliding draft gate (5) (open more to increase burn rate and close more to decrease burn rate).
Monitor flame through the sight glass (6) on the lid.
0005 00-26
TM 10-4520-261-12&P

TM 10-4520-261-12&P
ADDING ADDITIONAL SOLID FUEL
WARNING!
Hot Surfaces
The SHA becomes extremely hot while operating. Touching operating
equipment without protective clothing when adding fuel may cause
severe burns.
Add fuel as needed to maintain fire as follows.
Open door (1). Using a piece of wood or the cleaning tool (2), push the live burning fuel back into heater
and position new fuel in front. Allow the new fuel to ignite before adding more. Add fuel until desired burn
rate is reached, but do not overfuel. It will take 5 or 10 minutes for the heater to operate at maximum after
adding additional fuel. It may take some time to become familiar with the heater’s burner rate as different
types of wood and coal have varying moisture levels.
After adding fuel, shut and latch door (1). Keep lid (3) and door (1) assemblies shut except when fueling
fire or removing ashes.
SHUTDOWN FROM SOLID FUEL OPERATION
Shut sliding draft gate (4) on door (1) until fire is extinguished.
WARNING!
Burn and Fire Hazard
If ashes are still live when being removed, be sure to wear safety
clothing/gloves to prevent burns. Dispose of coals safely so that they
don’t pose a fire hazard. Use caution when disposing of ashes. Clear an
area to bare subsoil and empty the ashes. Drench the area with water,
stir the ashes, and drench with water again. Cover the area with dirt.
Allow the equipment to cool down. Perform “AFTER OPERATION” PMCS as detailed in WP 0010.

INTRODUCTION
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the SHA and its associated
equipment in good operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems. Operator
personnel are to do the PMCS jobs as shown in the PMCS table. PMCS are done every day the SHA is
operated, using the PMCS table. Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING
means someone could be hurt. A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.
Before you begin using the SHA, do Before PMCS
During use of the SHA, do During PMCS
After using the SHA, do After PMCS
Once a week, do Weekly PMCS if the SHA has been in use
Do Monthly PMCS once a month if the SHA has been in use
If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it using troubleshooting and/or maintenance
procedures.
The right-hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the SHA not fully mission capable.
Write up the faults that cannot be repaired on DA Form 2404 for unit maintenance. For further information
on how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.
If tools that are required to perform PMCS are not listed in procedures, notify your superior.
INSPECTION
Look for signs of trouble. Senses help here. You can feel, smell, hear, or see many problems that can be
eliminated before they get worse. Inspect to see if items are in good condition. Are components correctly
installed and secured? Is any damage to the frame or components visible? Correct any faults or notify unit
maintenance.

TM 10-4520-261-12&P
There are some common items to check on the SHA and associated equipment. These include the
following:
§ Proper operation of SHA Fuel Control Valve

§ Condition of Fuel Supply and Overflow Hoses and associated quick disconnect connectors
§ Condition of Stack Assembly and Cap
§ Accumulation of ash (if solid fuel used) in heater chamber
LUBRICATION SERVICE INTERVALS
The door hinge and latch assembly should be lubricated with a light machine oil or WD-40 when stored.
All metal heater components should be wiped down with a rag dampened with a light machine oil or WD-
40 before storage or after cleaning to prevent rust.
CLEANING
Proper cleaning of the SHA and components is an integral part of maintenance. It will help prevent
possible problems in the future, so make it a habit to clean the SHA and its components whenever
necessary.
The heater frame interior can be cleaned with a rag; the exterior can be cleaned with a brush. Wipe down
all hoses with a rag. Make sure that all connectors are free of debris and that they work freely.
WARNING!

DENT REMOVAL

Service
INITIAL SETUP
Unit
Tools and Special Tools
GENERAL
This procedure is for dent removal on the following SHA items: stack cap assembly, stack assembly,
burner body, rear door, and burner cover.
WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide
Bent or dented components may allow deadly carbon monoxide
emissions into the operating space. Do not attempt to repair these
components if leakage will not be completely stopped, or death may
result due to inhalation of excessive amounts of carbon monoxide.
REPAIR
Use common tools (pliers, mallets, etc.) to remove, to the extent possible, any dents which impair
operation of the heater.
Dent removal should only be carried out on the burner body, door and lid assemblies, stack cap and
telescoping stack assemblies.
Dent removal should be done short of replacing the item or items if and only if equipment operation will
not be reduced (ie: if dent removal does not stop smoke leakage into the heated space, the faulty
component or entire heater should then be replaced).

COMPONENTS OF END ITEM (COEI) AND BASIC ISSUE ITEMS (BII) LIST
INTRODUCTION
Scope
This section lists COEI and BII for the SHA to help you inventory items for safe and efficient operation of
the equipment.
General
The COEI and BII information is divided into the following lists:
Components of End Item (COEI). This list is for information purposes only and is not authority to
requisition replacements. These items are part of the SHA. As part of the end item, these must be with the
end item whenever it is issued or transferred between property accounts. Items of COEI are removed and
separately packaged for transportation or shipment only when necessary. Illustrations are furnished to
help you find and identify the items.
Basic Issue Items (BII). These essential items are required to place the SHA in operation, operate it, and
to do emergency repairs. Although shipped separately packaged, BII must be with the SHA during
operation and when it is transferred between property accounts. Listing these items is your authority to
request / requisition them for replacement based on authorization of the end item by the TOE/MTOE.
Illustrations are furnished to help you find and identify the items.
Explanation of Columns in the COEI List and BII List
Column 1, Illu Number, gives you the number of the item illustrated.
Column 2, National Stock Number, identifies the stock number of the item to be used for requisitioning
purposes.
Column 3, Description, CAGEC, and Part Number, identifies the Federal item name (in all capital letters)
followed by a minimum description when needed. The last line below the description is the CAGEC
(commercial and Government entity code) (in parenthesis) and the part number.
Column 4, Usable on code, gives you a code if the item you need is not the same for different models of
equipment. There is no usable on code for the Space Heater Arctic.
Column 5, UM (unit of measure), indicates how the item is issued for the National Stock Number shown in
