2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon cannot be responsible for ens
u
ring
that all appropriate safety meas
u
res are
u
ndertaken
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of
the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the
s
u
b-contractor, or the o
w
ner identifies the presence
of comb
u
stible materials, corrosi
v
e chemicals or
halogenated hydrocarbons* any
w
here in the
premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons
are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen
elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These com-
pounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning
agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air
supply of the burner, the life span of the heater compo-
nents will be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must
be provided to the burners whenever the presence of
these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if
the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All appliances m
u
st be installed in accordance
w
ith
the latest re
v
ision of the applicable standards and
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas
and
v
enting installation. Note: Additional standards
for installations in P
u
blic Garages, Aircraft Hangars,
etc. may be applicable.
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing
corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in product damage.
