COMBUSTIBLES
EN
All plenum and ducting clearances must satisfy specifi cation set forth in CAN/CSA-B365-10 and NFPA211.

* FOR HMF150 ONLY. Clearance can be reduced from 6" (152mm) to a minimum of 3" (76mm), providing that shielding with the fol-
lowing specifi cations is employed. Ceiling height can be reduced to 6ft. (1.8m) when shielding specifi cations are met.
* FOR HMF200 ONLY. Minimum ceiling height for installation can be reduced to 6' 9" (2.06m) provided shielding specifi cations in Sec-
tion 6.3.2 are employed and a clearance of 6" (152mm) is maintained between the top surface of the plenum and initial 6ft. (1.8m) of
duct run.
6.3.1 HMF150 SHIELDING SPECIFICATIONS
○
Shield must be constructed of sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 26 gauge.
○
Shield to be spaced out from combustible surface between 7/8" (22mm) and 1" (25mm), using non-combus-
tible spacers (air gap between combustible surface and shield must be maintained).
○
Shield dimensions and locations must protect the area illustrated in the diagram below.
