CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Placement of explosive objects, flammable objects, liquids and vapors
close to the heater may result in death, serious injury, fire and/or
explosion or property damage. Do not store or use explosive objects,
liquids and vapor in the vicinity the heater.
In all situations the clearance to combustibles
must be maintained. Failure to observe
clearances to combustibles will result in death,
serious injury, or property damage. In storage
areas where stacking of materials may occur, the
installer must provide signs, which specify the
maximum stacking height so as to maintain the
required clearance to combustibles. Minimum
clearances must be maintained from vehicles
parked, below the heater. Ensure that adequate
clearance is maintained where vehicles are in
operation or being serviced. Consideration must be
given when running the radiant tube next to wood,
paper, storage racks, hoists, building construction,
etc. For building personnel safety, it is
recommended that the system not be mounted lower
than 9' from the floor unless fitted with protective
screens. The following illustrations and information
give minimum acceptable clearance to combustibles.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained
for wall, floor, ceiling temperatures. The maximum
temperature on combustible surfaces adjacent to the
infrared emitter tubing network during normal operation
shall not be more than 90° F in excess of room
temperature. Clearances must also be maintained from
vehicles parked
below as well as storage racks,
partitions, hoists, building construction, etc.
In storage areas where stacking of materials may occur,
the installer must provide signs that specify the maximum
stacking height so as to maintain the required clearance to
combustibles.
