Not For Use in Indoor Living Spaces. Installing this unit in residential indoor living spaces or sleeping
quarters, such as bedrooms, basements, or garages, may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death. This unit is approved for unvented outdoor use only.
Sprinkler Heads:
Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater to avoid accidental
discharge of the fire suppression system. This distance may exceed the published clearances to
combustibles (see Chart 2.2 on page 9). Certain applications will require the use of a higher classification of
sprinkler heads or relocation of the heaters. Chart 2.1 is derived from NFPA 13 Table 3-2.5.1. Some
manufacturers may supply sprinklers with temperature ratings that vary from the chart below. Consult the
manufacturer of the sprinkler heads and NFPA 13 for more information.
