Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater. This distance 

may exceed the published clearance to combustibles. Certain applications will require the use of high temperature 
sprinkler heads or relocation of the heaters. 
 
Sprinkler systems containing propylene glycol or other flammable substances are not to be used in conjunction 
with this heater without careful consideration for and avoidance of potential fire or explosion hazards. For further 
information consult NFPA 13. Always observe applicable state and local codes.

INSTALLER 

In locations used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater, 
NFPA  54  requires  that  the  installer  must  post  signs  that  will  “specify  the  maximum  permissible 
stacking  height  to  maintain  the  required  clearances  from  the  heater  to  combustibles.”    Mestek 
recommends posting these signs adjacent to the heater thermostat or other suitable location that will 
provide enhanced visibility. It is important to provide warnings to alert individuals of potential hazards 
and safety actions. Posted signs should state the hazards for the particular application and be legible 
to building occupants.
