4.4 Choose Location for Heater

When selecting a suitable mounting location for the CGTH-Series heater it is important to consider the following:

•The heater must meet the minimum mounting height requirement of 7' (2134 mm) above the floor. For aircraft hangars and public garages, the heater must meet the minimum mounting height requirement of 8' (2438 mm) above the floor.

•The proposed mounting location allows for the required safe distances from combustibles such as vehicles, wood, gasoline and flammable objects, liquids and vapors.

•The proposed location of the heater will not restrict motion of passageway doors or windows.

•The proposed location will not interfere with oper- ation of the overhead garage door or allow the door to enter the required safe distances from combustibles.

•The proposed location will provide the best cover- age of the total area to be heated.

•Consideration be given to the types of vehicles that will be parked in the garage (cars, vans, boats, RV's, etc.).

•The proposed location will allow for the required safe distances from combustibles with respect to the vehicles parked in the garage.

•The proposed location will allow the required utili- ties (i.e.: gas and electric) and venting to be installed (maximum vent length is 10' [3048 mm]).

•Sufficient clearances will exist to allow for easy access to the service door.

•Overhead structural members (rafters, beams, etc.) are accessible for attaching the heater.
