SECTION 3: CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS

3.1 Required Clearances to Combustibles

Clearances are the required distances that

combustible objects must be away from the heater to

prevent fire hazards. Combustible materials that may

catch fire include common items such as wood,

paper, rubber, fabric, etc. Maintain clearances to

combustibles at all times for safety.

Clearances for all heater models are located on the

burner of the heater and on Page 3, Figure 1 through

Page 6, Figure 10 in this manual. Check the

clearances on each burner for the model heater

being installed to make sure the product is suitable

for your application and the clearances are

maintained. Read and follow the safety guidelines

below:

• Keep gasoline or other combustible materials

including flammable objects, liquids, dust or

vapors away from this heater or any other

appliance.

• Maintain clearances from heat sensitive material,

equipment and workstations.

• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below

the heater.

• Maintain clearances from swinging and overhead

doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, partitions,

storage racks, hoists, building construction, etc.

• In locations used for the storage of combustible

materials, signs must be posted to specify the

maximum permissible stacking height to maintain

required clearances from the heater to the

combustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to

the heater thermostat. In the absence of a

thermostat, signs must be posted in a

conspicuous location.

• Consult local Fire Marshal, Fire Insurance Carrier

or other authorities for approval of proposed

installation when there is a possibility of exposure

to combustible airborne materials or vapors.

• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum

suspension requirements on Page 10, Figure 12.

• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building

structure, be sure that adequate sleeving and fire

stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire

hazard.

NOTE: 1. All dimensions are from the surfaces of all tubes, couplings and elbows.

2. Clearances B, C and D can be reduced by 50% after 25' (7.5 m) of tubing downstream

from where the burner and burner tube connect.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Some objects will catch fire or explode when placed

close to heater.

Keep all flammable objects, liquids and vapors the

required clearances to combustibles away from heater.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

injury or property damage.
