We value the safety of everyone using our products and Catco catalytic heaters have an
outstanding track record of safety. They’re ideal heating solutions for many applications
because they never require or produce a flame or spark during any phase of their
operation.

Catco products are intended for industrial use only and should only be installed and
operated by professionals with appropriate training in gas, electrical, and general
personnel safety. If at any time you need guidance on how to safely install or operate
Catco products, please contact your Catco distributor or the factory at 972-563-8065.

INSTALLATION & MOUNTING

The installation must conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

It’s critical the unit be installed so the face of the heater is protected from rain and snow.

Install the heater in a fixed position so that it can’t be tipped over, dislocated, or otherwise
compromised. When installed, the face of the heater shouldn’t be angled up or down
more than 45° from vertical as shown in Figure 1.
