BTUH/Length/Configurations
Depending on the length and size of the heater, the heat exchanger
sections may be installed in various configurations. Optional "L"-
4. Clearances to Combustibles
Required clearances depend on the size of the heater (BTUH input), the position of the reflector, and the addition of an optional side shield on the rear
side of the heater. Refer to illustrations in Figure 1 to define clearances.

shaped, 5-foot, and "U"-shaped heat exchanger tubes are available
to adapt the heaters to these configurations (Option UC2 for "L";
Option UB3 for "U"; Option UA1 for 5-foot heat exchanger tube).
Refer to the Suspension Dimensions and Configuration Drawings
Booklet (in the Owner's Envelope) to determine the permissible
configurations for each size and length of heater and guidelines for
using the 5-ft heat exchanger tube.
Gas Type and Supply Gas Pressure
Sizes 50-150 heaters are available for use with either natural or
Clearance to combustibles is defined as the minimum distance from
the heater to a surface or object that is necessary to ensure that a
surface temperature of 90°F above the surrounding ambient tem-
perature is not exceeded.
The clearances listed in the tables are installation requirements. In
addition, ANSI Z-223-1, Section 6.18, requires that signs be posted
specifying the maximum permissible stacking heights to assure that
the required clearances from the heater to combustibles are main-
tained in areas where items are stored under the heater.
Refer to Paragraph 1, Special Installations, for specific clearance
requirements for heaters installed in aircraft hangars and public ga-
rages.
5. Location and Mounting Height
When selecting the installation location, major factors to consider are (1)
Personal and Property Safety, (2) Personal Comfort, and (3) Heating Effi-
ciency
(1) Safety
The location must meet the Installation Codes listed in Paragraph 1 and any
local codes. These heaters are approved for indoor commercial/industrial
installations only. Do not install these tubular radiant heaters in areas that
contain corrosive or toxic fumes or where elements in the atmosphere could
produce corrosive or toxic fumes in the presence of an open flame. These
heaters do not qualify for explosion-proof installations.
propane gas. Sizes 175-200 are available for use with natural gas only. The
supply pressure listed is the gas pressure required at the gas valve inlet.
Measure gas pressure with a manometer.
