2.0) INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
••••The heater and venting, as well as electrical and gas supplies must be installed in accordance with these
installation instructions and any applicable codes and regulations.
••••Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit
access to the heater.
•••• Each installer must follow the clearances to combustible materials for the heaters.
•••• Install the heater so that the supports and hangers are correctly spaced in accordance with these
instructions. The heater must be supported by materials having a working load limit of at least 115lbs.
••••Ensure that the tube integrity safety system TISS™ supplied is installed in accordance with these instructions
and that the tension is correct.
•••• Supply the owner with a copy of these Installation and Operation Instructions.
•••• Where unvented heaters are used, gravity or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust at
least 4 CFM per 1,000 Btu/hr input of installed heaters.
••••Never use the heater as a support for a ladder or other access equipment. Do not hang anything from the
heater.
•••• Supply all installation materials necessary that are not included with the heater.
•••• Check the nameplate to make sure that the burner is correct for the gas type in the building and the
installation altitude.
3.0) GENERAL INFORMATION

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTSINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The installation must conform to local building codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1. Heaters shall be
installed by a licensed contractor or licensed installer. Clearances to combustibles as outlined in this manual
should always be observed. In areas used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked
below the heater, NFPA54 requires that the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum permissible
stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.”
Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access
to the heater. Each installer shall use quality installation practices when locating the heater and must give
consideration to clearances to combustible materials, vehicles parked below, lights, overhead doors, storage
areas with stacked materials, sprinkler heads, gas and electrical lines and any other possible obstructions or
hazards. Consideration also must be given to service accessibility.

Natural Gas and
ANSI/NFPA 409-latest edition (Standard for Aircraft Hangars), ANSI/NFPA 88a-latest edition (Standard for

b. For installation in public garages or aircraft hangars, the minimum clearances from the bottom of the
infrared heater to the upper surface of the highest aircraft or vehicle shall be 50 percent greater than the
certified minimum clearance, but the clearance shall not be less than 8 feet.
Although these heaters may be used in many applications other than space heating (e.g., process heating),
SunStar will not recognize the warranty for any use other than space heating.
This heater is for Indoor Installation and Covered Patio Installation only and can be used in either Vented or
Unvented mode. The term Unvented actually means Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are
expelled into the building, national codes require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of
combustion. This ventilation may be provided by gravity or mechanical means.
This heater is not an explosion proof heater.
This heater is not an explosion proof heater. Where the possibility of exposure to volatile and low flash point

Appliances are supplied as standard for altitudes of O to 2,000 feet (0-610 m). High-altitude ratings are obtained
by a change in the orifice size. When ordered for high altitude installations, burners are supplied by the factory
ready for high altitude installation. Check the nameplate for altitude before proceeding with the installation. In
Canada the adjustment for altitude is made in accordance with Standard CGA 2.17, Gas-Fired Appliances for Use
at High Altitudes.

Combustible material must be located outside the
clearance dimensions listed.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or
property damage.
Install the warnings card (ordered separately) and complete the blank spaces using the clearances from
combustibles table below. See Section 26 for a printed copy of the warnings card.
Minimum clearances to combustibles shall be measured from the outer surfaces as shown in the following
diagram:
* When used indirect vented, minimum clearance for CEILING must be: 12” for SPS/SPU 50-75 and 18” for
SPS/SPU 100-200. If optional corner and u-bend reflectors are not used, the clearance must be 18”.
** Maximum clearance below reduces by 50% once you are 25ft. downstream from the burner box.
