5.
PRE INSTALLATION SURVEY
It is recommended that a full heating design including heat loss calculation be conducted on
the structure or area to be heated. Heater sizing and placement must consider available
mounting height, sources of greatest heat loss, and the certified clearances to combustibles
with respect to stored material, moveable objects (cranes, vehicles, lifts, overhead doors, etc),
sprinkler system heads, and other obstructions on the site. Consideration must also be given to
vent / duct placement and the allowable combined lengths of vent and duct. Carefully survey
the area to be heated, and for best results place burner and combustion chamber in the coldest
area(s).
