LOCATION PLANNING 

General 

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.  

 

 

WARNING

 

 

This heater is NOT approved for any indoor Residential application.   

If in doubt of your application consult with your local fire marshal or gas authority having jurisdiction. 

 

A Residential Dwelling is a housekeeping unit used or intended to be used as a domicile by one or more 

persons, containing cooking, eating, living, sleeping, and/or sanitary facilities. A Residential Dwelling 

does not include an attached and detached garage, workshop or outdoors. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Heater may be installed with shelter no more inclusive than: 

1.  With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover. 

2.  Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and no more than two side walls. These side 

walls may be parallel, as in a breezeway, or at right angles to each other. 

3.  Within a partial enclosure, which includes an overhead cover and three side walls, as long as 30 percent, or 

more, of the horizontal periphery of the enclosure is permanently open. 

 

A patio that has been almost entirely closed in with a roof and windbreak walls or a tent may be considered 

an indoor location in some code authorities. Refer to the Natural Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z.223.1 (NFPA 54) in 

the US and CSA 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. 

 

NOTE:

 Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age. 

 

 

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 of combustible materials. See the Specifications / Details 

4. 

Clearance to Combustible Materials information found in the Specifications / Details section. 

5. 

Always allow room for removal of the Top Reflector and Burner head for maintenance purposes. 

6. 

The heater aspirates (needs) air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are severe draft conditions 

or airflow restrictions to the Burner head of the heater.
