INSTALLATION PLANNING
INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
National and local codes and ordinances together
with specifications provided by Fostoria
Industries, Inc. comprise the information needed
for proper installation. The installer must furnish
all materials that have not been purchased from
Fostoria Industries or its representatives. It is the
installer’s responsibility that the materials and
methods of installation result in a job that is
workmanlike and in keeping with all applicable
codes.
In storage areas where stacking of materials may
occur, the installer must provide signs which
specify the maximum stacking height so as to
maintain the required clearances to combustibles.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
A protective non-corrosive conductor terminal
must be firmly attached to a protective earthing
conductor (both supplied by customer). This must
then be secured to the heater with the supplied
green screw and lock washer in the heater
wireway to ensure a proper ground.
LAYOUT DESIGN
When positioning heaters, keep in mind the clearance to combustible materials, lights, sprinkler heads,
overhead doors, storage areas with stacked materials, gas and electrical lines, parked vehicles, cranes, etc.
Refer to page six (6) for minimum clearance to verify that a safe installation condition exists.
