WARNING!
3 - Location Planning
General Location Layouts
One Even-GLO heater, at high fire and in windless conditions, has a comfort radius of
about twelve feet (24 ft. circle).
A series of heaters providing area heat should be placed about 14-20 feet apart.
Wind protection has an important influence on the body’s ability to retain radiant heat. Use
natural or newly built wind barriers where possible, such as existing buildings, shrubbery or tree
lines and fences
This heater is NOT approved for any indoor Residential
application. If in doubt of your application consult with your
local fire marshal or gas authority having jurisdiction. Indoor
spaces include but are not limited to attached garages,
solariums, living quarters etc.
A patio that has been almost entirely closed in with a roof and windbreak walls or a tent
may be considered an indoor location by some code authorities. The Lynx Patio heater
has been approved for indoor use in non residential applications (Natural Gas Models
ONLY). Venting of the flue gases is accomplished by means of an interlocked fan. Refer
to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z.223.1 (NFPA 54) in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1
and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada.
Location Requirements
a. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or sprinkler systems.
b. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings. These materials may
discolour or soften well before they reach combustible limits.
c. Always allow room for removal of the top reflector and heater head for maintenance
purposes.
d. The heater aspirates air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are severe
draft conditions or airflow restrictions to the heater head base.

4 - Clearance to Combustible Materials
Clearance to Combustible s
The following clearance data is based on a maximum limit of 90°F (50 °C) plus ambient
temperature.
Note with an ambient temperat ur e of 70°F the surface temperatures at the clearance
distances listed below could reach 160°F Care should be taken with placement of plastic
or vinyl in the proximity of the heater as they tend to distort and soften at these
temperatures.
The INSTALLER is responsible to ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance
which may degrade at higher temperatures are protected to prevent degradati on.
Installation / Code Requirements
Installation must comply with local building codes and/or, for the USA/National Fuel Gas Code,
ANZI Z 223.1 (NFPA 54) and for Canada, CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2, National Gas and
Propane Installation Code (latest editions).
Appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in their absence; the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the USA, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in
Canada.
NOTE: Some materials deteriorate or soften at sustained temperatures below 160°F.
