Clearances to Combustibles
* Minimum mounting height is 2.5 m above the finished floor.
** Heaters mounted on an angle between 1° to 30° must maintain clearances posted for 0° or 30°;
whichever is greater.
Important!
If the heater is mounted beneath a non-combustible surface a 21 cm minimum top clearance
must be maintained from the top of the heater to prevent overheating the controls.
Clearance to combustible distances represent a surface temperature of 50°C (90°F) above ambient
temperature. Ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance (i.e, awnings, fabrics, plastics,
sprinklers, insulation) are protected against degradation. This may require the heater to be mounted at a
distance in excess of the published clearances to combustibles. Contact the factory or the building
material manufacturer for additional information.

When installing the infrared heater system, the minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained.
These distances are shown in Chart 2.1 and on the heater. If you are unsure of the potential hazards,
consult your local fire marshal, fire insurance carrier, or other qualified authorities on the installation of gas
fired infrared heaters for approval of the proposed installation.
