Clearances are the required distances that 
combustible objects must be away from the heater 
to prevent fire hazards. Caution should be used 
when running the system near combustibles. 
Combustibles are materials, which may catch on fire 
and include common items such as wood, paper, 
rubber, fabric, etc. Maintain clearances to 
combustibles at all times for safety.
Clearances around the heater and flue must be as 
indicated 

on Page 6, Figure 3,  to ensure access for 

servicing, and correct operation. If clearances to 
combustibles are not indicated, then installation 
clearances apply.
Check the clearances on each burner for the model 
heater being installed to make sure the product is 
suitable for your application and the clearances are 
maintained. Read and follow the safety guidelines 
below:

• Keep petrol or other combustible materials 

including flammable objects, liquids, dust or 
vapours away from this heater or any other appli-
ance.

• The stated clearances to combustibles repre-

sents a surface temperature of 32°C (90° F) 
above room temperature. Building materials with 
a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl sid-
ing, canvas, tri-ply, etc) may be subject to degra-
dation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s 
responsibility to assure that adjacent materials 
are protected from degradation.

• Maintain clearances from heat sensitive equip-

ment and workstations.

• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below 

the heater.

• Maintain clearances from swinging and over-

head doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, parti-

tions, storage racks, hoists, building 
construction, etc.

• In locations used for the storage of combustible 

materials, signs must be posted to specify the 
maximum permissible stacking height to main-
tain required clearances from the heater to the 
combustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to 
the heater thermostat. In the absence of a ther-
mostat, signs must be posted in a conspicuous 
location.

• Consult local Building Inspector, Fire Insurance 

Carrier or other authorities for approval of pro-
posed installation when there is a possibility of 
exposure to combustible airborne materials or 
vapours.

• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum 

suspension requirements 

on Page 10, Section 6  

and Page 11, Figure 4 through Page 12, Figure 
5.

• Affix the tag on a wall near the heater.
