WARNING!
Heater Mounting
2.0 Installation • Heater Mounting
Improper suspension of the infra-red heater may result in collapse and persons being crushed.
Always suspend from a permanent part of the building structure that can support the total force and
weight of the heater.
Failure to maintain minimum clearance to combustibles may result in fire and/or explosion, property
damage, serious injury or death. Always maintain minimum clearances and post signs or provide
tags where needed. Signs should state the hazards for the particular application and be legible for
the building occupants. Consult the factory or a factory representative for additional information on
signage compliance.
The heater can be suspended with chains or rigid threaded rod. Local codes, or conditions such as wind drafts or
other variables, can cause movement of the heater and may require rigid threaded rod. Avoid excessive movement
and/or vibration of the gas connection by rigidly mounting the heater (see Figure 2.4). The Brant Radiant optional patio
heater mounting brackets (P/N: PH-BKT) can be used in place of rigid threaded rods. Consult all applicable codes
before installation.
The heater must be level from side to side and can be set at an angle betwen 0° and 30° from horizontal. The gas
connection and power cord
must
be located on the lower side (see Figure 2.3).
