SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
3.1 Required Clearances to Combustibles
Clearances are the required distances that combusti-
ble objects must be away from the heater to prevent 
serious fire hazards. 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 for all heater models are located on the 
burner assembly and on Page 6, Figure 3 through 
Page 8, Figure 10
 in this manual. Check the clear-
ances 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 gasoline or other combustible materials 
including flammable objects, liquids, dust or 
vapors away from this heater or any other appli-
ance.
• The stated clearances to combustibles represents 
a surface temperature of 90° F (32° C) above 
room temperature. Building materials with a low 
heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, can-
vas, tri-ply, etc) may be subject to degradation at 
lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibil-
ity to assure that adjacent materials are protected 
from degradation.
• Maintain clearances from heat sensitive 
equipment and workstations.
• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below 
the heater.
• Maintain clearances from swinging and overhead 
doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, partitions, 
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 maintain 
required clearances from the heater to the com-
bustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to the 
heater thermostat. In the absence of a thermo-
stat, signs must be posted in a conspicuous loca-
tion.
• Consult local Fire Marshal, Fire Insurance Carrier 
or other authorities for approval of proposed 
installation when there is a possibility of exposure 
to combustible airborne materials or vapors.
• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum sus-
pension requirements.
• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building 
structure, be sure that adequate sleeving and fire 
stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire 
hazard.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and 
vapors the minimum required clearances to 
combustibles away from heater.
Some objects will catch fire or explode when 
placed close to heater.
Failure to follow these instructions can result 
in death, injury or property damage.
