PLACEMENT AND CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
The dimensions and required clearances MUST be taken into
consideration when choosing the location for the ThermElect
Hydronic heating system. (See Figure 2 for Dimensions and
Clearances.) The best installation location is in a space requiring
heat so some amount of the heating requirements can be
satisfied through static dissipation from the warm outer panels
of the ThermElect Hydronic system. Refer to Maximum Static
Dissipation on Pages A.01-A.02. In installations where the system
is not placed in an area it is intended to heat, it is important to
account for the heat lost through static dissipation by making
proper adjustments when sizing the system.
The area around the system must remain free of debris. It is also
extremely important to adhere to the clearances and provide
appropriate ventilation to maintain an air temperature of no greater than 85º F/29º C in the area where
the system is installed. It is the responsibility of the installer and/or project engineer to provide proper
ventilation. Ensure the openings for ventilation of the heat sink are clear and unobstructed.
In addition to the physical space requirements, the weight of the system must also be taken into
consideration when selecting the installation location. A level concrete floor is the designed installation
surface; however, most well supported surfaces are acceptable. If unsure of the floor load capacity, consult
a building contractor or architect.
NOTE:
Special requirements must be considered if placing the system in an area where combustible
vapors may be present. Consult electrical, building, and fire prevention codes.

WARNING
Risk of fire. Can cause injury or death.
• Violation of the clearance requirements
or failure to provide proper ventilation
can cause improper operation of the
system. Maintain the placement and
clearance requirements as specified and
provide ventilation as necessary.
• Moving the system after install may result
in equipment damage. Do NOT move
system from original installed location.
