CAUTION: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Maintain clearance to combustible constructions as further specified in this manual.

Failure to do so could result in a serious fire hazard. Heaters should not be located in

hazardous atmospheres containing flammable vapors or combustible dusts. Signs should

be provided in storage areas specifying maximum safe stacking height.

CAUTION: MECHANICAL HAZARD

This equipment is designed and approved for indoor use only.

CAUTION: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

This heater is equipped with an automatic ignition device. Do not attempt to light the

burner by hand. Failure to comply could result in a serious fire and personal injury hazard.

CAUTION: MECHANICAL HAZARD

Do not use high pressure (above ½ psi) to test the gas supply system with the burners

connected. Failure to do so could result in damage to the burner and its control

components requiring replacement.

CAUTION: SERVICE LIFE RISK

Do no install equipment in atmospheres containing halogenated hydrocarbons or other

corrosive chemicals. Failure to do so may lead to premature equipment failure and will in-

validate the warranty. Additionally, it is recommended that the equipment be installed

with a slope downward and away from the burner of 1/4” inch in 10’ feet to allow start-up

condensate drainage.

This heater maybe approved for either indoor or outdoor installation. Not for use in residential dwellings,

refer to rating plate.

Aircraft Hangar Installation

Installation in aircraft hangars must conform to the Standard for Aircraft Hangars, ANSI/NFPA 409 in the

US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada

Public Garages

Installation in public garages must conform to the Standard for Parking Structures, NFPA 88A or the

Standard for Repair Garages, NFPA 88B, in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation

Codes in Canada.

Parking Structures

Technical requirements are outlined in ANSI/NFPA 88B (USA)

Gas Supply Lines

Gas supply pipe sizing must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54)

in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada.

A 1/8-inch NPT plugged tap must be installed in the gas line connection immediately upstream of the

burner furthest from the gas supply meter to allow checking of system gas pressure.

Electrical

All heaters must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

in the US, and the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1 in Canada, and must comply with all local

requirements.

Venting

Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and

B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada for proper location, sizing and installation of vents as well as

information on clearance requirements when penetrating combustible walls for venting purposes.

Series UAB Page 9 Feb 18/2015

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

A general clearance of 18” (0.5 m) in every direction is recommended for servicing only around each

Burner, Vacuum Pump, and End Vent Cap air supply (at the far end of each Radiant Branch) also to

ensure adequate air flow in and around the Heating System.

In addition to this it is very important to observe the minimum clearance to combustibles at all

times to avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.

WARNING

Clearances as marked on the heater body must be maintained from vehicles parked beneath. Signs

should be posted identifying any possible violation of the clearance distances from the heater in all

vehicle areas.

Maximum allowable stacking height in storage areas should be identified with signs or appropriate

markings adjacent to the thermostat or in a conspicuous location.

Table B lists the minimum clearance to combustible materials for various installation configurations. Note

that standard clearances also apply to installation above T-bar ceilings and above decorative grills.

Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other materials which may be

damaged by radiant or convective heat.

Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastics, Plexiglas or

other materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible

even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.

Elbows and U-bends are un-heat treated aluminized material and are typically installed without reflectors.

Reflector miter kits are available for U-bends and elbows.

Adequate clearance to sprinkler heads must be maintained.

The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above room

temperature. Building materials with low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply,

etc…) maybe subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure

that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.

Note 1:

Bottom Shields are approved for all burner sizes. The “below” clearance (dimension C in Table B)

may be reduced by 25% when an approved Bottom Shield is used.

Note 2:

Reduced clearances downstream from the burner are approved for all configurations. Dimensions “B”,

“C”, and “D” in Table B can be reduced for locations 25 ft (7.6 m) or more downstream from a

burner, before the next burner, maximum reduction is 50%
