3. INSTALLATION IN COMMERCIAL GARAGES AND PARKING STRUCTURES

Luminous (high intensity) radiant heaters are suitable for use in commercial garages when in-

stalled in accordance with the latest edition of the Standard for Parking Structures, ANSI/NFPA

88A, or the Standard for Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA No. 88B, or the Canadian Natural Gas

and Propane Installation Code, B149.1.

An overhead heater shall be located high enough to maintain the mini-

mum distance to combustibles, as shown on the heater rating plate, from

the heater to any vehicles parked below the heater.

Overhead heaters shall be installed at least 8 ft (2.4 m) above the floor.

4. INSTALLATIONS OTHER THAN SPACE HEATING

Use for process or other applications that are not space heating will void the C.S.A. certification

and product warranty. Process application requires field inspection and/or certification by local

authorities having jurisdiction. Process application design should be provided by local experi-

enced process design experts.

WARNING

5. PRE INSTALLATION SURVEY

It is recommended that a full heating design including heat loss calculation be conducted on

the structure or area to be heated. Heater sizing and placement must consider available

mounting height, sources of greatest heat loss, and obstructions on the site. The certified clear-

ances to combustibles with respect to stored material, moveable objects (cranes, vehicles, lifts,

overhead doors, etc), structural components, and sprinkler system heads. Consideration must

also be given to ventilation fan placement. Carefully survey the area to be heated, and for best

results place heaters in the coldest area(s) and at sufficient spacing to provide radiant heat

coverage.

Installation must conform with all local, state, provincial and national code requirements includ-

ing the current latest edition ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) in the U.S.A. and B149.1 installation

code in Canada, for gas burning appliances and equipment. The latest edition Electrical Code

ANSI/NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A. and PART 1 CSA C22.1 in Canada must also be observed.

The heating system must have gas piping of the correct diameter, length, and arrangement to

provide for the total system input. A layout drawing is necessary to calculate properly sized

gas supply piping.
