SeriesGA201M2Page6Sept19/2014
Location Planning
One Patio heater, at high fire and in windless conditions, has a comfort radius of about
twelve feet (24 ft. diameter 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
An appliance may be installed with shelter no more inclusive than:
1. With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover.
2. Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and no more than two side walls. These
side walls may be parallel, as in a breezeway, or at right angles to each other.
3. Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and three side walls, as long as 30
percent or more of the horizontal periphery of the enclosure is permanently open.
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. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
z.223.1 (NFPA 54) in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and 149.2 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 of combustible materials. See the Specifications /
Details
4. Clearance to Combustible Materials information found in the Specifications / Details section.
5. Always allow room for removal of the Top Reflector and Burner head for maintenance purposes.
6. The heater aspirates (needs) air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are severe draft
conditions or airflow restrictions to the Burner head of the heater.
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.
NOTE: Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age.

Specifications / Details
Clearance to Combustible Materials
The following clearance data is based on a maximum limit of 90°F (32 °C) 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.
Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic, Plexiglas or other
materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible even
through flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other materials which may be damaged
by radiant or convection heat.
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.
NOTE: Some materials deteriorate or soften at sustained temperatures below 160°F.
Consult material manufacturer for recommendations

Testing / Commissioning
Leak Test Method
Never go over connections looking for leaks with a lighted match, cigarette lighter, or any other
flame.
Perform the Leak Test before initial lighting and when connecting a new LP-Gas Cylinder. A
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation on site due to possible miss
handing in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.

2. Spread the soap and water solution over the hose connections with a spray bottle, a small
paintbrush or a rag.
3. With the heater shut OFF, turn the cylinder valve ON. Check the connections at the LP-Cylinder.
4. Take off the Housing Service Cover (shown below). Check the gas line attachment points to the
valve.
5. Any leaks will result in bubbles forming in the solution. If a leak is detected, shut OFF the cylinder
valve.
6. Repair any leak by tightening leaking parts. (The replacement Gas Hose Assembly shall be as
specified by the manufacturer.)
7. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 until no leaks are detected at all hose connection locations as shown below.
If you cannot stop the leaks, shut OFF the supply valve on the LP-Gas Cylinder and disconnect the cylinder
from the heater. Place the heater OUT OF SERVICE and consult a certified service person.

SeriesGA201M2Page20Sept19/2014
