is defined as the minimum distance you must have between the tube surface, or reflector,
. Considerations must also be made for moving objects around the radiant tube
Combustible/Degrading Items:
• Wood
• Paper
• Fabric
• Chemicals
• Paint
• Parked vehicles
• Gasoline
• Storage racks
• Plastics
• Flexible gas lines
• Vehicle parking areas
• Vehicles with lifts or cranes
• Storage areas with stacked materials
• Lights
• Sprinkler heads
• Overhead doors and tracks
• Dirty or contaminated environments
Moving Objects:
• Overhead doors
• Vehicles & vehicle lifts
• Cranes
• Hoists
• Trailers
When installing the radiant heating system, the minimum clearances to combustibles for your series
radiant tube heater and system configuration must be maintained. These distances are shown in Chart
2.1 on page 9 and on the burner control box. If you are unsure of the potential hazards, consult your local
fire marshall, fire insurance carrier or other qualified authorities on the installation of gas fired radiant tube

3.0 Installation
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, serious injury or death.
Read and understand, the installation, operating and maintenance instructions
thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
Only trained, qualified gas installation and service personnel may install or service
this equipment.
Design Considerations and Prechecks
Placement of infrared heaters is influenced by many factors. Aside from safety factors, considerations
such as the number of heater or vent elbows that are allowed, maximum vent lengths, ducting of
combustion air and combining exhaust vents are a few examples. All installation manuals, along with
national, state, provincial and local codes, address these issues. It is critical that you read, understand
and follow all guidelines and instructions.
To ensure a properly designed heating system, a layout should be developed for the correct placement of
the heating appliance, vents and combustion air intake ducts. Inspect and evaluate the mounting
conditions, vent locations, gas supply and wiring. Refer to Chart 3.1 on page 11 for the recommended
mounting heights and coverages for the model being installed.
The effective infrared surface temperature of a person or object may be diminished with wind above 5
mph. The use of adequate wind barrier(s) may be required.
NOTE: When heated, materials high in hydrocarbons (solvents, paint thinner, mineral spirits,
formaldehydes, etc.) can evaporate. This may result in odors or fumes being emitted into the
environment. To correct this problem, clean the area and/or introduce additional ventilation. Heaters
installed and serviced in accordance with the installation manual do not emit odors into the environment.
IMPORTANT: Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater. This
distance may exceed the published clearance to combustibles as posted on the heater. Certain
applications may require the use of high temperature sprinkler heads or relocation of the heaters.
CAUTION
Sprinkler systems containing propylene glycol or other flammable substances are not to be used in
conjunction with this heater without careful consideration for and avoidance of potential fire or explosion
hazards. For further information consult NFPA 13.
