RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DRAPE PLACEMENT

NEAR BASEBOARD HEATER
1. Allow minimum clearance of 1" from drapes to
ceiling and to top of floor covering to permit air
circulation (example 1, figure 2.)
2. Hang full length drapes to provide a minimum of 2"
airspace between heater front and nearest drape fold
as shown in example 1, figure 2.
3. Hang short drapes to provide minimum of 6" clear
ance between bottom of drapes and top of heater,
preferably more (example 2, figure 2).
4. Do not under any condition allow drapery to come in
contact with heater. Some fabrics discolor in time
from exposure to sunlight or warm air. Check to make
sure drapery material will not discolor, shrink, or
stretch upon extended (1000 hour) exposure to
temperatures of 200°F.
Heaters may be mounted directly to any floor sur-
face, including carpeting. Wall to wall carpet
(maximum thickness: 3/4") may extend under or to
the front of the baseboard heater. This is provided the
flooring material does not obstruct air flow to the
heater.

WIRING OF BASEBOARD
