LOCATION PLANNING
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Wind protection has an important influence on the human body’s ability to retain radiant heat.
Use natural or newly built wind barriers where possible, such as existing buildings, shrubbery or tree lines and
fences.
One Lynx Patio heater, at high fire and in windless conditions has a comfort radius of about twelve feet.
A series of heaters providing area heat should be placed about 14 feet apart.
WARNING
This heater is NOT approved for any indoor Residential application. If in doubt of your application
consult with your local fire marshal or gas authority having jurisdiction. Indoor spaces include but are
not limited to attached garages, solariums, living quarters etc.
A patio that has been almost entirely closed in with a roof and windbreak walls or a tent may be considered an
indoor location by some code authorities. Venting of the flue gases is accomplished by means of an interlocked
fan. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z.223.1 (NFPA 54) in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2
Instalation Codes in Canada.
1. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or sprinkler systems.
2. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings. These materials may discolour or soften
well before they reach combustible limits.
3. Always allow room for removal of the top reflector and heater head for maintenance purposes.
4. The heater aspirates air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are severe draft conditions or
airflow restrictions to the heater head base.
