HAZARD INTENSITY LEVELS

1.DANGER: Failure to comply will result in severe personal injury or death and/or property damage.

2.WARNING: Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury or death and/or property damage.

3.CAUTION: Failure to comply could result in minor personal injury and/or property damage.

1. Installation Codes

The gas-fired unit heaters covered in this manual are design-certified by the American Gas Association and approved by the Canadian Gas Association for use with either natural or propane gas. The type of gas for which your heater is equipped and the correct firing rate are shown on the rating plate attached to your unit. Electrical characteristics are shown on the motor nameplate and on the unit rating plate.

These units must be installed in accordance with local building codes. In the absence of local codes, in the United States, the unit must be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code (latest edi- tion). A Canadian installation must be in accordance with the CAN/ CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appli- ances and Equipment. These codes are available from CSA Informa- tion Services, 1-800-463-6727. Local authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation to verify local codes and instal- lation procedure requirements.

Clearances from the heater and vent to combustible construction or material in storage must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1a (latest edition) pertaining to gas-burning devices, and such material must not attain a temperature over 160oF by continued operation of the heater.

Special Installations (Aircraft Hangars/ Garages)

Installations in aircraft hangars should be in accordance with ANSI/ NFPA No. 409 (latest edition), Standard for Aircraft Hangars; in pub- lic garages in accordance with ANSI/NFPA No. 88A (latest edition), Standard for Parking Structures; and for repair garages in accordance with ANSI/NFPA No. 88B (latest edition), Standard for Repair Ga- rages. ANSI/NFPA-88 (latest edition) specifies overhead heaters must be installed at least eight feet above the floor. In Canada, installations in aircraft hangars should be in accordance with the requirements of the enforcing authorities, and in public garages in accordance with CAN/ CGA B149 codes.

ANSI/NFPA 409 (latest edition) specifies a clearance of ten feet to the bottom of the heater from the highest surface of the top of the wing or engine enclosure of whatever aircraft would be the highest to be housed in the hangar, and a minimum clearance of eight feet from the floor in other sections of aircraft hangars, such as the offices, and shops which communicate with areas used for servicing or storage. The heaters must be located so as to be protected from damage by aircraft or other ob- jects such as cranes and movable scaffolding. In addition, the heaters must be located so as to be accessible for servicing, adjustment, etc.
