Installation Clearances - Bromic Heating Cobalt Installation, Instruction And Service Manual

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

When selecting the installation location for the Cobalt
Gas Heater, the following minimum clearances to
combustible materials must be followed.
Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted
surfaces or other materials which may be damaged by
radiant or convection heat. It is the installers responsibility
to ensure that adjacent materials are not subject to
degradation.
Fire Sprinklers must be located at an appropriate distance
from each heater to avoid accidental activation of the
sprinkler. Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol must never be
used in fire sprinkler systems where heaters are present as
these substances may become flammable when heated. A
fire sprinkler professional must be consulted when heaters
are installed where fire sprinklers are present to insure that
heaters and the fire sprinkler system are properly integrated.
Specific guidelines can be found in NFPA 13 regarding
design and specifications for Fire Sprinkler Systems near
heaters.
