blowing directly on them. (Figure 1)
• Small rooms - can be heated by one or two units. Locate the
unit heater(s) to set up circular air movement within the space.
• Large rooms - requiring multiple unit installations. Units should
be located so that the discharge air from one unit supports the
discharge from another unit and sets up a circular movement.
• Remove Thermostats - should be located on interior walls or
posts away from heat sources, cold drafts, and away from heater
discharge air streams.
MOUNTING UNIT HEATER(S)
