Read and understand all safety information and warnings in this manual prior to installation, operation,
and maintenance of this heater. Warnings indicate a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in injury or death.

Applications

This is

not

an explosion proof heater. No radiant tube heater may be used in a Class 1 or Class 2 Explosive

Environment. Consult your local fire marshal, insurance carrier, and other authorities for approval if the
proposed installation is in question.

Commercial/Industrial Applications

Unless otherwise indicated, radiant tube heaters are designed and certified for use in commercial and
industrial buildings such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, aircraft hangars, and vehicle maintenance
shops. For maximum safety, the building must be evaluated for potential problems before installing the
heating system. A critical safety factor to consider before installation is the clearances to combustibles.
