Distances
From
Combustibles
Once your heater is installed by a licensed contractor, you must
remember to maintain the minimum required safe distances from
combustibles at all times. Combustibles are materials which may
catch on fire and include many common items such as your
vehicle, wood and wood shavings, paper, rubber, fabric, plastic -
just to name a few. Don’t forget these materials could be in the
form of liquids and vapors and may be airborne, as well.
Combustible materials such as those noted, and any other combustible materials must not
be placed closer to any side of the CARIBE
® GTH heater than the distances noted in the
diagrams on the following pages. If you have any questions about the minimum required
safe distances from combustibles, or the associated diagrams, please contact your installer,
Roberts-Gordon representative or distributor, or Roberts-Gordon during normal business
hours which are Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Eastern Time.

It is important to keep the minimum required safe distances from combustibles at all times to
avoid death, personal injury or property damage. Clearances from vehicles parked beneath
heaters must be maintained. Signs should be posted to identify any possible violation of the
clearance distances from the heater in the vehicle areas. Maximum allowable stacking height
in storage areas should be identified with signs or appropriate markings. The illustrations and
Table on page 14 specify the minimum required safe distances from combustibles.
