Placement of Standby Generator to REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard NFPA 37 establishes criteria for minimizing the hazard of fire during the installation and operation of stationary combustion engines. NFPA 37 limits the spacing of an enclosed generator from openings in walls, structures, and combustible materials outside the enclosure.

The placement requirements provided are based on compliance to NFPA 37 2010 section 4.1.4.

WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles or structures resulting in death, serious injury and/ or property damage.
