Clearance to Combustibles

A critical safety factor to consider before installation is

the clearances to combustibles. Clearance to

combustibles is deﬁned as the minimum distance you

must have between the infra-red surface, or reﬂector,

and the combustible item. Considerations must also be

made for moving objects around the infra-red heater.

The following is a partial list of items to maintain

clearances from:

Combustible items include :

• Wood

• Paper

• Fabric

• Chemicals

• Wall or roof insulation

Moving objects include:

• Overhead doors

• Vehicle lifts

• Cranes

• Hoists

• Car wash equipment

When installing the infra-red heater system, the

minimum clearances to combustibles must be

maintained. These distances are shown in Chart 1.1 and

on the minimum clearance to combustibles label

(F/N: LLPCL002) found on the heater. If you are unsure

of the potential hazards, consult your local ﬁre marshall,

ﬁre insurance carrier or other qualiﬁed authorities on the

installation of gas ﬁred infra-red heaters for approval of

the proposed installation.

Hazards Include:

For maximum safety the building must be evaluated for

hazards before installing the heater system. Examples

include, but not limited to:

• Gas and electrical lines

• Combustible and explosive materials

• Chemical storage areas

• Areas of high chemical fume concentrations

• Sprinkler heads

• Overhead doors and tracks

• Dirty, contaminated environment

WARNING

poisonous fumes, toxic gases,

asphyxiation. Connect gas lines in

accordance to national, state, provincial

and local codes.

Placement of explosive objects, ﬂammable

objects, liquids and vapors close to the

heater may result in explosion, ﬁre,

property damage, serious injury or death.

Do not store, or use, explosive objects,

liquids and vapor in the vicinity the heater.
