SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon
recommends the installer contact a local Building
Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.
• To use the information given in a layout drawing
and in the manual together with the cited codes
and regulations to perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the
clearances to combustibles.
• To furnish all needed materials not furnished as
standard equipment.
• To plan location of supports.
• To provide access to burners for servicing on all
sides, for burner removal.
• To provide the owner with a copy of this
installation, operation and service manual.
• To never use heater as support for ladder or other
access equipment and never hang or suspend
anything from heater.
• To safely and adequately install heater using
materials with a minimal working load of 75 lbs.
(33 kg).
• To ensure there is adequate air circulation around
the heater and to supply air for combustion,
ventilation and distribution in accordance with
local codes.
2.1 Wall Tag
A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as a
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and the
importance of the required clearances to
combustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon or your
ROBERTS GORDON®independent distributor to
obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling off the
backing of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and
position the tag on a wall near the heater (e.g.
thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON®Controller).
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on
the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may
affix this copy on the wall near the heater.
Know your model number and installed configuration.
Model number and installed configuration are found
on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and
Service Manual. See Page 13, Figure 11 through
Page 14, Figure 16. Write the proper clearance
dimensions in permanent ink according to your
model number and configuration in the open spaces
on the tag.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon cannot be responsible for ensuring
that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of
the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the
sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence
of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or
halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the
premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements
(fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If
these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life span
of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An outside air
supply must be provided to the burners whenever the presence
of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if the
heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All Appliances must be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of the applicable standards and
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards
for installations in Public Garages, Aircraft Hangars,
etc. may be applicable.
In Canada, the conversion shall be carried out in
accordance with the requirements of the provincial
authorities having jurisdiction and in accordance with
the requirements of the CAN-B149.1 and CAN/CGA
B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances.
CAUTION
Do not use heater in an area containing corrosive
chemicals.
Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals to ensure a
longer life of the burner, tubing and other parts.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
propert damage.
