Heater Mounting

!WARNING

Improper suspension of the infra-red heater may result in collapse and persons being crushed. Always suspend from a permanent part of the building structure that can support the total force and weight of the heater.

Failure to maintain minimum clearance to combustibles may result in fire and/or explosion, property damage, serious injury or death. Always maintain minimum clearances and post signs or

provided tags (F/N: LL01) where needed. Signs should state the hazards for the particular application and be legible for the building occupants. Consult the factory or a factory representative for additional information on signage compliance.

The heater can be suspended with chains or rigid threaded rod. Local codes, or conditions such as wind drafts or other variables can cause movement of the heater and may require rigid threaded rod. Avoid excessive movement and/or vibration of the gas connection by rigidly mounting the heater. The heater mounting brackets can be used in place of rigid threaded rods (see Figures 2.5 - 2.6). Consult all applicable codes before installation.

The heater must be level from side to side and can be set at an angle between 0° and 30° from horizontal. The gas connection and power cord must be located on the lower side (see Figure 2.4).
