The gas supply lines, all safety controls of the heater and the venting system
must be inspected and tested annually by a qualified and licensed gas technician,
experienced with the installation and servicing of this type of appliance.
A gas fired radiant tube heater may be installed for heating of commercial /
industrial / agricultural non-residential spaces. It is beyond the scope of these
instructions to consider all conditions that may be encountered. Installation must
conform with all local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 in the U.S.A. or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1 in Canada. The latest edition Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A. and PART 1 CSA C22.1 in Canada must also be
observed.
Installation of a gas fired tube heater must conform to all heating installation
design procedures including clearance to combustibles, connection to the gas and
electrical supplies, and ventilation.
This heater is not for installation in a Class 1 or Class 2 explosive environment,
nor a residence. If installation of this equipment is in question, consult with local
authorities having jurisdiction (Fire Marshall, labour department, insurance underwriter,
or others).
Revisions to codes and/or standards may require revision to equipment and
installation procedures. In case of discrepancy, the latest codes, standards, and
installation manual will take priority over prior releases.
Where there is the possibility of exposure to combustible airborne materials or
vapour, consult the local fire inspector's office, the fire insurance carrier or other
applicable authorities for approval of the proposed installation.
Do not use in an atmosphere containing halogenated hydrocarbons or other
corrosive chemicals. Some compounds in the environment can cause an accelerated
rate of corrosion to the heat exchanger.
The heater manufacturer cannot anticipate all types and chemical composition of
possible contaminants at project sites. Confer with project site safety, health and
engineering staff and/or local authorities having jurisdiction such as the Fire Marshall
and Department of Labour for possible contaminants and any conflict with the
installation of hot surface heating equipment.
