SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the
responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the
contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner
identifies the presence of combustible materials,
corrosive chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons*
anywhere in the premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds 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 components 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 must be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of the applicable standards and
