Clearance to Combustible Materials
The following clearance data is based on a maximum limit of 90°F (50°C) plus ambient temperature. Note with an
ambient temperature of 70°F the surface temperatures at the clearance distances listed below could reach 160°F.
Care should be taken with placement of plastic, or vinyl in the proximity of the heater as they tend to distort and soften
at these temperatures.
Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic, Plexiglas or other
materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible even through flame-
proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other materials which may be damaged by
radiant or convection heat.
NOTE: Some materials deteriorate or soften at sustained temperatures below 160°F.
Consult material manufacturer for recommendations
The Installer is responsible to ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance which may degrade
at higher temperatures are protected to prevent degradation
