7.1 Choose Location for Heater

When selecting a suitable mounting location for the
CGTH-Series heater it is important to consider the
following:
• The heater must meet the minimum mounting
height requirement of 7' (2.1 m) above the floor.
For aircraft hangars and public garages, the
heater must meet the minimum mounting height
requirement of 8' (2.4 m) above the floor.
• The proposed mounting location allows for the
minimum required safe distances from combusti-
bles such as vehicles, wood, gasoline and flam-
mable objects, liquids and vapors.

restrict motion of passageway doors or windows.
• The proposed location will not interfere with oper-
ation of the overhead garage door or allow the
door to enter the minimum required safe dis-
tances from combustibles.

age of the total area to be heated.
• Consideration be given to the types of vehicles
that will be parked in the garage (cars, vans,
boats, RV's, etc.).
• The proposed location will allow for the required
safe distances from combustibles with respect to
the vehicles parked in the garage.
• The proposed location will allow the required utili-
ties (i.e.: gas and electric) and venting to be
installed (maximum vent length is 10' (3 m).
• Sufficient clearances will exist to allow for easy
access to the service door.
• Overhead structural members (rafters, beams,
