SI (METRIC) CONVERSION FACTORS/UNIT LOCATION
IMPORTANT
1. Approval requirements for infrared heaters specify that
the suspended type heaters shall be installed in
accordance with certain sections of the National Fire
Codes published by the National Fire Protection
Association and various ANSI standards. SOME of the
requirements are listed below.
Aircraft Hangars: Approval requirements are contained
in the current edition of ANSI/NFPA 409 (or in
accordance with the enforcing authority for Canada).
Public Garages: Approval requirements are contained in
the current edition of NFPA 88B (CAN/CGA B149 for
Canada).
Parking Structures: Approval requirements are
contained in the current edition of NFPA 88A.
General: All installations must be in accordance with the
current edition of ANSI Z-223.1 (NFPA 54) National Fuel
Gas Code and the current edition of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. For Canada, installations must
conform with local building codes, or in the absence of
local codes, in accordance with the current edition of
CAN/CGA B149 and the Canadian Electric Code, C22.1.
2. Start-up and adjustment procedures should be performed
by a qualified service agency.
3. To check most of the Possible Remedies in the
troubleshooting guide listed in Table 23.1, refer to the
applicable sections of the manual.

UNIT LOCATION
DANGER
Appliances must not be installed where they may be
exposed to a potentially explosive or flammable atmosphere.
WARNING
Do not locate ANY gas-fired units in areas where chlorinated,
halogenated, or acidic vapors are present in the atmosphere.
These substances can cause premature heat exchanger
failure due to corrosion which can cause property damage,
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
As with all infrared equipment, clearances to combustible
materials are critical. Be sure all units have reflectors
installed along the entire length of the tube, and that they are
not mounted at an angle greater than 45° from the horizontal
plane. In locations used for storage of combustible materials,
signs, shall be clearly posted in the vicinity of the heater
where readily apparent to material handlers to specify the
maximum permissible stacking height to maintain required
clearances from the heater to the combustibles.
IMPORTANT
Approval requirements for infrared heaters specify that the
suspended type heaters shall be installed in accordance
with certain sections of the National Fire Codes published
by the National Fire Protection Association and various
ANSI standards. SOME of the requirements are listed
below.
Aircraft Hangars: Approval requirements are contained in
the current edition of ANSI/NFPA 409 (or in accordance with
