    IMPORTANT Installer: Present this manual to the end user. Acquaint the end user with Important Information: Cover & pages 4 to 8. END USER: In particular you must be aware of ‘Clearances to Combustible’ re- quirements and the limitations of stacking or placing material near the heaters. Make your safety personnel and staff aware of this information.
  • Page 5: Heater Expansion

    WARNING Heater Expansion It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a radiant heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion must be made in the gas connection and heater suspension. Im- proper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in property damage, injury or death.
  • Page 6: Clearance To Combustibles

    WARNING Clearance to Combustibles Location of flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors close to the heater may cause fire or explosion and result in property damage, injury or death. Do not use, store or locate flamma- ble or explosive objects, liquids or vapors in proximity of the heater. The clearance to combustible material represents the minimum dis- tance that must be maintained between the outer heater surface and a nearby surface.

    The clearance to combustible materials represents the minimum distance that must be main- tained between the heater and a nearby surface. The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90F° (50C°) above room temperature. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that building materials with a low heat toler- ance which may degrade at lower temperatures are protected to prevent degradation.
  • Page 9: General Application

    In case of discrepancy, the latest codes, standards, and installation manual will take pri- ority over prior releases. Models ecoSchwank-X 36, 52 and IL-X 150, 200 may be installed for heating of com- mercial / industrial non-residential indoor spaces.
  • Page 10: Installation In Commercial Garages

    INSTALLATION IN COMMERCIAL GARAGES AND PARKING STRUCTURES Luminous (high intensity) radiant heaters are suitable for use in commercial garages when in- stalled in accordance with the latest edition of the Standard for Parking Structures, ANSI/NFPA 88A, or the Standard for Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA No. 88B, or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, B149.1.
  • Page 11: Mounting Clearances

    6. MOUNTING CLEARANCES This heater must be mounted with at least the minimum clearances between the heater and combustibles as shown in FIG-1, TABLE 1, Page 7. The clearances to combustible material represent a surface temperature of 90 F° (50 C°) above ambient. It is the installer’s responsibil- ity to ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower tem- peratures are protected to prevent degradation.

    C. It is recommended to install an approved flexible connector between the heater and gas piping - available as option from Schwank or from your local supplier. D. A drip-leg prior to the inlet connection to the heater must be provided in the gas line.
  • Page 15: Electrical & Thermostat

    GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE: The maximum supply pressure must be limited to 14 inches w.c. (0.51 psi). If the line pressure is above 14 inches w.c. then a separate pressure reducing regu- lator must be used - follow all codes. The minimum pressure at the inlet to the heater regulator must be equal to or greater than 6.0 inches w.c.
