Location Planning
General Location Layouts
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.
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.
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.
Safety Requirements
1. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or sprinkler
systems.
2. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings. These materials
may discolour or soften well before they reach combustible limits.
3. The heater requires a minimum clearance from combustible materials. See the
Clearance to Combustible Materials section for specific requirements.
4. Always allow room for removal of the top reflector and heater head for
maintenance purposes.
5. 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 Combustibles
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 tend to distort
and soften at these temperatures.
The INSTALLER is responsible to ensure that building materials with a low heat
tolerance which may degrade at higher temperatures are protected to prevent
degradation.
