In all cases, the installation of this appliance must conform with all
national, state/provincial, local and applicable codes for the installation of
gas fired appliances. Only persons familiar with such codes and certified
for the installation of gas appliances are authorized to install Patio Plus
heaters. Improper installation, maintenance or adjustment of Patio Plus
heaters can cause serious injury, property damage or death.
Clearances & Safe Mounting Practices.
Each heater must be installed so that the following “minimum clearances to combustibles”
are maintained. Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper,
plant fibres, or other materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall
be considered combustible even though flame-proofed, fire retardant treated or plastered.
Additional clearances may be required for glass, painted surfaces, plastics, vinyl and other
materials which may be damaged or melted by radiant or convection heat. A minimum
clearance of 24 inches (above the heater) must be maintained to plastics, vinyl or any
other materials that may be adversely affected by radiant or convection heat.
