2. CLEARANCES
Minimum clearances to combustibles (Refer to Table 3). Provide
adequate clearance to combustibles, see Table 3. Also between
control end of heater for servicing and minimum on top and sides
for ventilation and combustion air supply.
A minimum clearance of 8' above floor for public garages in
accordance with ANSI/NFPA No. 409 most recent edition, or Table
3; the larger dimension of ANSI/NFPA No. 409 or Table 3 is to be
used.
*When selecting installation locations for MR. HEATER ensure that
the opening of any exterior or interior doors or windows will not
violate clearances or contact any heater components.
The clearances to combustibles represent a surface temperature
of 90°F (32°C) above room temperature. Building materials with
low heat tolerance may be subject to degradation at lower
temperatures. It is the installer's responsibility.
