Clearance to Combustibles

Standards, Certifications, and Government Regulations

Installation of this radiant tube heater must conform with all applicable local, state, and national specifications, 
regulations, and building codes.  Contact the local building inspector and/or fire marshal for guidance.  In 
the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the latest edition of: 

 

United States:

  National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54).

 Canada:

  CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code

Copies of these standards can be viewed or purchased at 

www.nfpa.org

 or 

www.scc.ca

Public Garages: 

This heater must be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the Standard for Parking 
Structures, ANSI/NFPA 88A or the Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages 
ANSI/NFPA 30A.  In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA B149.1.

  •  Heaters must not be installed less than 8 ft. (2.4 m) above the floor. Minimum clearances to   

 

    combustibles must be maintained from vehicles parked below the heater.
  • When installed over hoists, minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained from the  

 

    upper most point of objects on the hoist.

Aircraft Hangars: 

This heater must be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the Standard for Aircraft Hangars, 
ANSI/NFPA 409.  In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA B149.1.

  •  In aircraft storage and servicing areas, heaters shall be installed at least 10 ft. from above the upper    
    surface of wings or of the engine enclosures of the highest aircraft that may be housed in the hangar.   
    The measurement shall be made from the wing or engine enclosure, whichever is higher from the  

 

    floor,  to the bottom of the heater.
  •  In areas adjoining the aircraft storage area (e.g., shops, offices) the bottom of heaters  shall be  

 

    installed no less than 8 ft. (2.4 m) above the floor.
  •  Suspended or elevated heaters shall be located in spaces where they shall not be subject to damage   
    by aircraft, cranes, movable scaffolding or other objects. 

Provisions shall be made to assure accessibility to suspended radiant tube heaters for recurrent 
maintenance purposes.

Clearance to Combustibles

Combustible/Degrading Items:  

•  Wood
•  Paper
•  Fabric
•  Chemicals
•  Paint

•  Parked vehicles
•  Gasoline
•  Storage racks
•  Plastics
•  Flexible gas lines

A critical safety factor to consider before installation is the clearances to combustibles.  

Clearance to 

combustibles

 

is defined as the minimum distance you must have between the tube surface, or reflector, 

and the combustible item.  Considerations must also be made for moving objects around the radiant tube 
heater.  The following is a partial list of items from which to maintain clearances:

Moving Objects: 

•  Overhead doors
•  Vehicles & vehicle lifts
•  Cranes
•  Hoists
•  Trailers
