LOCATING HEATER
Install heater out of traffic areas, maintaining clearances stated in Figure 1. The direction of airflow should
not be restricted is by columns or machinery and the airflow should avoid exposed walls rather than blowing
directly on them. When more than one heater is used in an area, the heaters should be arranged so that the
air discharge of each heater supports the airflow of the others to provide best circulation of warm air as
indicated in Figure 2.
