property damage. Signs should be posted in storage
areas to specify the maximum stacking height of items
placed below heater to maintain required clearances to
combustibles. Minimum clearances must be maintained
from vehicles parked below the heater. Caution should be
used when running the system near combustible

Halogenated Hydrocarbons
Roberts-Gordon 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 or halogenated hydrocarbons*
anywhere in the premises.
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 or halogenated hydrocarbons*
anywhere in the premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical com-
pounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements
(flourine, 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 lifespan
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.
