MOUNTING SUGGESTED LOCATIONS
–
ELECTRIC HEATER
3
Unless heaters are installed over 12 ft. high, it is
generally recommended that radiant heaters be
mounted on an angle to assure that radiant warmth
is distributed from the sides rather than straight
down on the heads and shoulders of people being
warmed.
When outdoors,
hang heaters under
protective roof or
weather cover
whenever possible.
Even though heater
is all-weather
construction, it will
last longer and look
better if protected
from rain and dew.
NOT RECOMMENDED
RECOMMENDED
30 to 60 degrees from horizontal
face down. Best angle approx. 45
o
.
Mounting a heater directly over a work table or other
obstruction will block radiation, primarily heating the
object. It is preferably to move the heater to the side,
allowing it to heat the floor as well.
Install heater to heat the area from the “cold
side” if practical. This helps compensate for
increased body heat losses on the cold side.
Head too close
Feet too far away
Warm floor re-radiates
heat. Warmer air rises
from floor. Some heat
reflects from floor.
Aim point should be at feet, or
on floor behind worker or user.
