  • Page 5: Installation Codes

    INTRODUCTION Installation Codes Installations must comply with all local building codes or in their absence; the latest edition of the national regulations and procedures applicable to gas fired and suspended heaters. General Installation and Gas Codes/Electrical Codes Heaters must be installed only for use with the type of gas appearing on the rating plate, and the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z.223.1 (NFPA 54) in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada.
  • Page 6: Layout Recommendations

    LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS Layout Considerations 1. Because high intensity heaters are un-vented, verify local codes for guidance on air supply and dilution air. Also see section on Ventilation. 2. Check local codes for mounting requirements and the requirement for flexible gas connectors or rigid mounting.

  • Page 10: Clearance To Combustibles

    CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above room temperature. Building materials with low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc…) maybe subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.

  • Page 14: Ventilation / Condensation

    VENTILATION / CONDENSATION Ventilation Buildings using high intensity radiant heaters require ventilation. High Intensity type heaters are considered un-vented gas fired appliances, requiring ventilation to supply combustion air and dilute/remove the products of combustion. Requirements for combustion air supply and dilution air vary by jurisdiction, building type and specific installation details.
  • Page 15: Operation / Maintenence

    OPERATION / MAINTENENCE Operation Ensure the gas supply line has been purged. Open all gas cocks to the heaters and electrically energize the system. Follow the instructions on the heaters Lighting Instructions Label. Check to ensure that the thermostat starts and shuts down the system.
