Yes and that is described in the text on my web site. However, if you attach the device to the heater and have absolutely no open space between the heater and the device, the device will act as a venturi and increase the air flow significantly which will in turn pull the flames all the way through the piping and out the end. This, if attached to your plane like that, would without a doubt, catch your airplane on fire. With the device freestanding, you are able to adjust the amount of heat you want simply by how close you place the device to the mouth of the heater. An 8 to 10 inch distance seems to work really well. Not too hot - not too cold.
