(FOR CANADA ONLY)

 

Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to the 
heater. Each installer shall use quality installation practices when locating the heater and must give consideration to 
clearances to combustible materials, vehicles parked below, lights, overhead doors, storage areas with stacked 
materials, sprinkler heads, gas and electrical lines and any other possible obstructions or hazards. Consideration also 
must be given to service accessibility. 
 
The heater, when installed in aircraft hangars and public garages, must be installed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 
409-latest edition (Standard for Aircraft Hangars), ANSI/NFPA 88a-latest edition (Standard for Parking Structures), 
and ANSI/NFPA 88b-latest edition (Standard for Repair Garages) with the following clearances: 
a.  At least 10 feet above the upper surfaces of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft that may be 

housed in the hangar and at least 8 feet above the floor in shops, offices, and other sections of hangars 
communicating with aircraft storage or service areas. 

b.  At least 8 feet above the floor in public garages.   WARNING:  Minimum clearances marked on the heater must 

be maintained from vehicles parked below the heater. 

 
a.  Installation of this appliance is to be in accordance with latest edition of CAN 1-B149.1 (Installation Code for 

Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment), and/or CAN B149.2 (Installation Code for Propane Gas Burning 
Appliances and Equipment). 

b.  For installation in public garages or aircraft hangars, the minimum clearances from the bottom of the infrared 

heater to the upper surface of the highest aircraft or vehicle shall be 50 percent greater than the certified 
minimum clearance, but the clearance shall not be less than 8 feet. 

 
Although these heaters may be used in many applications other than space heating (e.g., process heating), Space-
Ray  will not recognize the warranty for any use other than space heating.   
 
This heater is for Indoor Installation and Covered Patio Installation only and can be used in either Vented or Unvented 
mode. The term Unvented actually means Indirect Vented.  While the products of combustion are expelled into the 
building, national codes require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion.  This ventilation 
may be provided by gravity or mechanical means. 
 
This heater is not an explosion proof heater.  Where the possibility of exposure to volatile and low flash point 
materials exists, it could result in property damage or death.  This heater must not be installed in a spray booth where 
the heater can operate during the spraying process.  Consult your local fire marshal or insurance company. 
 
PTS Series Only:  Since straight tube heaters are always hotter at the control end than at the flue terminal end, 
always observe the minimum recommended mounting heights shown on the specification sheets and in Section 
5.0 of this manual.  Use U-tube configuration instead of straight tubes for spot or area heating (e.g., where a single 
heater is utilized for space heating).  

  

 

 
High Altitude: 
Appliances are supplied as standard for altitudes of O to 2,000 feet (0-610 m). High-altitude ratings are obtained 
by a change in the orifice size. When ordered for high altitude installations, burners are supplied by the factory 
ready for high altitude installation. Check the nameplate for altitude before proceeding with the installation. In 
Canada the adjustment for altitude is made in accordance with Standard CGA 2.17, Gas-Fired Appliances for Use 
at High Altitudes.
