Location Planning
Wind protection has an important influence on the body’s ability to retain radiant
heat. Use natural or newly built wind barriers where possible, such as existing
buildings, shrubbery or tree lines and fences.A clear plastic six-foot fence is used in
some commercial restaurants to give an open look while giving good wind
protection.
One Even-GLO heater, at high fire and in windless conditions has a comfort radius
of about twelve feet (24 ft. circle).
A series of heaters providing area heat should be placed about 14-20 feet apart.
A patio that has been almost entirely closed in with a roof and windbreak walls
or a tent may be considered an indoor location by some code authorities. The
Even-GLO heater has been approved for indoor use in non residential
applications (Natural Gas Models ONLY). Venting of the flue gases is
accomplished by means of an interlocked fan. Refer to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z.223.1 (NFPA 54) in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2
Installation Codes in Canada.
1. Location Requirements:
a. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or
sprinkler systems.
b. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings.
These materials may discolour or soften well before they reach
combustible limits.
c. Always allow room for removal of the top reflector and heater head
for maintenance purposes.
d. The heater aspirates air for combustion. Do not locate heater where
there are severe draft conditions or airflow restrictions to the heater
head base.
NOTE: Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age.
WARNING!
This heater is NOT approved for any indoor Residential
application. If in doubt of your application consult with your
local fire marshal or gas authority having jurisdiction. Indoor
spaces include but are not limited to attached garages,
solariums, living quarters etc.

Clearance to Combustible Materials
The following clearance data is based on a maximum limit of 90°F plus ambient
temperature. Note with an ambient temperature of 70°F the surface
temperatures at the clearance distances listed below could reach 160°F Care
should be taken with placement of plastic or vinyl in the proximity of the
heater as they tendto distort and soften at these temperatures.
NOTE: Some materials deteriorate or soften at sustained temperatures below 160°F.
Consult material manufacturer for recommendations
