Clearance to Combustibles

! WARNING! CAUTION

Improperly connected gas lines may result in serious injury or death, explosion, poisonous fumes, toxic gases, asphyxiation. Connect gas lines in accordance to national, state, provincial and local codes.

Placement of explosive objects, flammable objects, liquids and vapors close to the heater may result in explosion, fire, property damage, serious injury or death. Do not store, or use, explosive objects, liquids and vapor in the vicinity the heater.

Failure to comply with the published clearances to combustibles could result in personal injury, death and/or property damage.

Hazards Include:

For maximum safety the building must be evaluated for hazards before installing the heater system. Examples include, but not limited to:

•Gas and electrical lines

•Combustible and explosive materials

•Chemical storage areas

•Areas of high chemical fume concentrations

•Provisions for accessibility to the heater

•Adequate clearances around air openings

•Combustion and ventilating air supply

•Vehicle parking areas

•Vehicles with lifts or cranes

•Storage areas with stacked materials

•Lights

•Sprinkler heads

•Overhead doors and tracks

•Dirty, contaminated environment

Signs shall be posted specifying the maximum permissible stacking height in order to maintain clearances to combustibles.

A critical safety factor to consider before installation is the clearances to combustibles. Clearance to combustibles is defined as the minimum distance you must have between the infra-red surface, or reflector, and the combustible item. Considerations must also be made for moving objects around the infra-red heater. The following is a partial list of items to maintain clearances from:

Combustible items include :

•Wood

•Paper

•Fabric

•Chemicals

•Wall or roof insulation

Moving objects include:

•Overhead doors

•Vehicle lifts

•Cranes

•Hoists

•Car wash equipment

When installing the infra-red heater system, the minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained. These distances are shown in Chart 1.1 and on the minimum clearance to combustibles label (F/N: LLPCL002) found on the heater. If you are unsure of the potential hazards, consult your local fire marshall, fire insurance carrier or other qualified authorities on the installation of gas fired infra-red heaters for approval of the proposed installation.
