ceramic tile. The wall behind the heater and the first length of chimney pipe
should also be lined with such material. See diagram below.
Safety Clearances
Above- 30”, In front- 18”, Sides- 12”, Below- 6”
Facing Direction
The heater ideally should face the bow or stern of the boat, particularly on a
sailboat. Fuel is gravity fed from the oil metering valve into the burner so if
the valve should drop below the level of the burner, the fuel would not flow
uphill into the burner, which will put out the fire. In a beam-facing
installation, the oil metering valve may have to be relocated to the side of the
heater. There are holes located on the side to hold the repositioned valve
bracket. See diagram below. This can’t be done on the Newport model as it
must face bow or stern only. This will allow the heater to operate up to 15
degrees. If you have any doubt regarding the need for a valve bracket, please
email us. [e-mail]
Note: the heaters valve & burner should be in line with the boats keel.
