INSTALLATION (continued)
CLEARANCES: Each Gas Unit Heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to the Unit Heater. Clearance between vertical walls and the vertical sides of the Unit Heater shall be no less than 6 inches (152mm). However, to ensure access to the control box, a minimum of 18" (457mm) is required for the control box side. A minimum clearance of 6 inches (152mm) must be maintained between the top of the Unit Heater and the ceiling. The bottom of the Unit Heater must be no less than 12 inches (305mm) from any combustible. The distance between the flue collector and any combustible must be no less than 6 inches (152mm). Also see AIR FOR COMBUSTION and VENTING sections.
NOTICE: Increasing the clearance distances may be necessary if there is a possibility of distortion or discoloration of adjacent materials.
Make certain that the lifting methods used to lift the heater and the method of suspension used in the field installation of the heater are capable of uniformly supporting the weight of the heater at all times. Failure to heed this warning may result in property damage or personal injury!
Make sure that the structure to which the unit heater is to be mounted is capable of safely supporting its weight. Under no circumstances must the gas lines, the venting system or the electrical conduit be used to support the heater; or should any other objects (i.e. ladder, person) lean against the heater gas lines, venting system or the electrical conduit for support. Failure to heed these warnings may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Unit Heaters must be hung level from side to side and from front to back, see Figure 3A, 3B and 3C. Failure to do so will result in poor performance and/or premature failure of the unit.
Ensure that all hardware used in the suspension of each unit heater is more than adequate for the job. Failure to do so may result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury, or death!
