SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and 
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable 
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon LLC 
recommends the installer contact a local Building 
Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.
• To use the information given in a layout drawing 
and in the manual together with the cited codes 
and regulations to perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the 
clearances to combustibles.
• To furnish all needed materials not furnished as 
standard equipment.
• To plan location of supports.
• To provide access on all sides for burner servicing 
and removal.
• To provide the owner with a copy of this 
Installation, Operation and Service Manual.
• To never use heater as a support for a ladder or 
other access equipment and never hang or 
suspend anything from heater.
• To ensure there is adequate air circulation around 
the heater and to supply air for combustion, 
ventilation and distribution in accordance with 
local codes.
• To safely and adequately install heater using 
materials with a minimal working load of 75 lbs 
(33 kg).
• To ensure the heater is placed in an approved 
application.
2.1 Wall Tag
A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as 
a permanent reminder of the safety instructions and 
the importance of the required clearances to 
combustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon or 
your ROBERTS GORDON
®
 independent distributor 
to obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling 
off the backing of the adhesive strips on the rear 
surface and position the tag on a wall near the 
heater (e.g. thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON
®
 
Controller).
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on 
the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may 
affix this copy on the wall near the heater.
Know your model number and installed configuration. 
Model number and installed configuration are found on 
the burner and in the Installation, Operation and 
Service Manual. See Page 5, Figure 3 through Page 
8, Figure 12
. Write the proper clearance dimensions in 
permanent ink according to your model number and 
configuration in the open spaces on the tag.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for 
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are 
undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the 
responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the 
contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner identifies 
the presence of combustible materials, corrosive 
chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere 
in the premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of 
chemical compounds characterized by the 
presence of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, 
bromine, etc.). These compounds are 
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, 
solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air 
supply of the burner, the life span of the heater 
components will be greatly reduced. An outside air 
supply must be provided to the burners whenever 
the presence of these compounds is suspected. 
Warranty will be invalid if the heater is exposed to 
halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All appliances must be installed in accordance with 
the latest revision of the applicable standards and 
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas 
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards 
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars, 
etc. may be applicable.
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing 
corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data 
Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result 
in product damage.
