SECTION 4: INSTALLATION

4.1 Safety Equipment

Use of the following safety equipment is recom-
mended for installation of the CGTH-Series heater:

• Work gloves

• Safety glasses

4.2 Installation Tools

Tools required for the installation of the CGTH-Series
heater include at a minimum the following:

• Tape measure

• Electric drill (with an assortment of drill bits)

• Pipe wrenches - 2 required

• Screwdriver

• Tin snips

• Hacksaw

• Wire strippers

• Staple gun

• Level

• Pliers

• Crimping tool

• Hole saw - 5” (125 mm)

• Stud Finder (if garage is finished)

4.3 Installation Materials

Materials required for the installation of the CGTH-
Series heater include at a minimum the following:

• High temperature silicone sealant (such as Gen-

eral Electric RTV106 or Permatex

Form-A-Gas-

ket

Red)

• Suspension hooks (capable of supporting 75 lbs.

each)

• Sheetmetal screws

The following items may be required for your particu-
lar installation:

• Plastic drain hose

• Additional vent pipe

• Roof flashing

• Rain collar

• Chain - 75 lbs., or equivalent

• Snap hooks (as required)

4.4 Choose Location for Heater

When selecting a suitable mounting location for the
CGTH-Series heater it is important to consider the
following:

• The heater must meet the minimum mounting

height requirement of 7' (2134 mm) above the
floor. For aircraft hangars and public garages, the
heater must meet the minimum mounting height
requirement of 8' (2438 mm) above the floor.

• The proposed mounting location allows for the

required safe distances from combustibles such
as vehicles, wood, gasoline and flammable
objects, liquids and vapors.

• The proposed location of the heater will not

restrict motion of passageway doors or windows.

• The proposed location will not interfere with oper-

ation of the overhead garage door or allow the
door to enter the required safe distances from
combustibles.

• The proposed location will provide the best cover-

age of the total area to be heated.

• Consideration be given to the types of vehicles

that will be parked in the garage (cars, vans,
boats, RV's, etc.).

• The proposed location will allow for the required

safe distances from combustibles with respect to
the vehicles parked in the garage.

• The proposed location will allow the required utili-

ties (i.e.: gas and electric) and venting to be
installed (maximum vent length is 10' [3048 mm]).

• Sufficient clearances will exist to allow for easy

access to the service door.

• Overhead structural members (rafters, beams,

etc.) are accessible for attaching the heater.
