tolerance which may degrade at lower temperatures are protected to prevent
degradation. Examples of low heat tolerance materials include vinyl siding, fabrics,
some plastics, filmy materials, etc.
VENT END CLEARANCE: Clearances from the vent pipe are determined by local or national
installation codes, but must not be less than 6 inches (15 cm). For 'unvented' installation, a
minimum distance of 24 inches (61 cm) is required from the end of heater to a combustible
surface.
WARNING
The signs must be posted either adjacent to the IR heating system thermostats or in the
absence of such thermostats, in a conspicuous place.
For your convenience a "peel and stick" sign
is provided with this heater. Use a permanent
marker to record the required dimensions on
the sign.
To calculate the value 'H': (H = T - C)
• Measure the on site distance between bottom of
the heater and the floor = 'T' inches (cm).
• Refer to Table 1 to get the value 'C' that corre-
sponds to the model you are installing
• Subtract the clearance below the heater 'C' from
'T' to get value 'H'.
• Enter this value 'H' on the sign.
Refer to the information for the heater model
being installed in Figure 1 and Table 1 to get
the values for dimensions 'S', 'F' and 'B'.
