Design
1.1 DESIGN
When positioning heater, keep in mind the clearance to combustibles with materials such as, lights, sprinkler
heads, overhead doors, storage areas with stacked materials, gas and electrical lines, parked vehicles,
cranes, etc. Refer to Figure 1.1 on page 3 for minimum clearance to verify that a safe installation condition
exists. PH Series heaters should never be installed in a recessed ceiling or inside a soffit.
IMPORTANT: In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs shall be posted to specify
the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain required clearances from the heater to the
combustibles. Also note that fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the
heater and that this distance may exceed the published clearance to combustibles. Certain applications
will require the use of high temperature sprinkler heads or the relocation of the heaters. Potentially flammable
substances, such as Propylene Glycol or antifreeze solutions, should not be used in conjunction with our
heaters. For further information consult NFPA 13.
Always observe applicable State and local codes.
NOTE: 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.
