Location Planning
General Location Layouts
One Even-GLO heater, at high fire and in windless conditions, has a comfort
radius of about twelve feet (24 ft. circle).
A series of heaters providing area heat should be placed about
14-20 feet apart
.
Wind protection has an important influence on the body’s ability to retain radiant
heat.
Use natural or newly built wind barriers where possible, such as existing buildings,
shrubbery or tree lines and fences. A clear plastic six-foot fence is used in some
commercial restaurants to give an open look while giving good wind protection.
A patio that has been almost entirely closed in with a roof and windbreak walls or
a tent may be considered an indoor location by some code authorities. The Even-
GLO heater has been approved for indoor use in non-residential applications
(Natural Gas Models ONLY). Venting of the flue gases is accomplished by means
of an interlocked fan. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z.223.1 (NFPA
54) in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada.
Safety Requirements
1. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or sprinkler
systems.
2. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings. These
materials may discolour or soften well before they reach combustible limits.
3. The heater requires a minimum clearance from combustible materials. See
the Clearance to Combustible Materials section for specific requirements.
4. Always allow room for removal of the top reflector and heater head for
maintenance purposes.
5. The heater aspirates air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are
severe draft conditions or airflow restrictions to the heater head base.
NOTE
: Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age.
