Clearances are the required distances that 
combustible objects must be away from the heater 
to prevent fire hazard. Combustible material that 
may catch fire include common items such as wood, 
paper, rubber, fabric, etc. Maintain clearances to 
combustibles at all times for safety.
Clearances for all heater models are located on the 
serial plate of the heater and throughout the manual. 
Check the clearances on the serial plate to make 
sure the product is suitable for your application and 
the clearances are maintained. Read and follow the 
safety guidelines below:

• Keep gasoline or other combustible material 

including flammable objects, liquids, dust or 
vapors away from this heater or any other 
appliance.

• The stated clearances to combustibles 

represents a surface temperature of 90° F 
(50° C) above room temperature. Building 
materials with a low heat tolerance (such as 
plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc.) may be 
subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It 
is the installer's and owner's responsibility to 
assure that adjacent materials are protected 
from degradation.

• Consult local Fire Marshall, Fire Insurance 

Carrier or other authorities for approval of 
proposed installation when there is a possibility 
of exposure to combustible airborne materials or 
vapors.

Clearances must be as indicated 

3. If clearances to combustibles are not indicated, 
then installation clearances apply.

Clearance to Vent: 2" (5 cm)

*18" (46 cm) minimum is necessary for 
servicing.
