INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation of this heater must conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1 In Canada, the
installation must conform to current CSA B149.1 (The Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code) in the absence of
local codes. Heaters shall be installed by a licensed contractor or licensed installer. Clearances to combustibles as
outlined in this manual should always be observed. In areas used for storage of combustible materials where they
may be stacked below the heater, NFPA54 requires that the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum
permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.”
Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to the
heater. Each installer shall use quality installation practices when locating the heater and must give consideration to
clearances to combustible materials, vehicles parked below, lights, overhead doors, storage areas with stacked
materials, sprinkler heads, gas and electrical lines, and any other possible obstructions or hazards. Consideration
also must be given to service accessibility.
Sunstar will not recognize the warranty for any use other than space heating.
This heater is for Indoor and Outdoor Installation and is used in Unvented mode. The term Unvented actually means
Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national codes require 4 CFM/1000

4
BTU of heater input ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation may be
provided by gravity or mechanical means.
This heater is not an explosion proof heater. Where the possibility of exposure to volatile and low flash point
materials exists, it could result in property damage or death. This heater must not be installed in a spray booth where
the heater can operate during the spraying process. Consult your local fire marshal or insurance company.
This heater must be applied and operated under the general concepts of reasonable use and installed using best
building practices.
It is the responsibility of the qualified installer to supply the appropriate lifting equipment to safely install the radiant
heater. Tools required for the safe installation, startup and maintenance are various screwdrivers, wrenches, pipe
wrenches, voltmeter, air and gas manometer, level and required tools to safely install the chosen hanging materials.
Do not install this heater indoors in a structure with no insulation in the roof—condensation will
occur.
The heater, when installed in aircraft hangars and public garages, must be installed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA
409-latest edition (Standard for Aircraft Hangars), ANSI/NFPA 88a-latest edition (Standard for Parking Structures),
and ANSI/NFPA 88b-latest edition (Standard for Repair Garages) with the following clearances:
a. At least 10 feet above the upper surfaces of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft that may be
housed in the hangar and at least 8 feet above the floor in shops, offices, and other sections of hangars
communicating with aircraft storage or service areas.
b. At least 8 feet above the floor in public garages. ▲WARNING: Minimum clearances marked on the heater must
be maintained from vehicles parked below the heater.
(FOR CANADA ONLY)
a. Installation of this appliance is to be in accordance with latest edition of CSA B149.1 (Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code).
b. For installation in public garages or aircraft hangars, the minimum clearances from the bottom of the infrared
heater to the upper surface of the highest aircraft or vehicle shall be 50 percent greater than the certified
minimum clearance, but the clearance shall not be less than 8 feet.
Note:
The SGL35-N7/L7/N10/L10-MG (Marine Grade) models provides superior corrosion resistance in salty and corrosive
environments such as beach and ocean front installations. The Marine Grade patio heater is constructed out of 316
type stainless steel with a brushed finish. No paint is used. During operation the stainless steel will get hot and the
stainless steel will slightly discolor (e.g. light “tea color”) in the center top of the heater. This is typically not visible
from the ground and is normal for this heater type.
If a Marine Grade heat shield kit part number 44566350 is purchased the heat shield is delivered pre-heated showing
a uniform “tea color”.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
A critical safety factor to consider before installation is the clearances to combustible materials. Clearance to
combustibles is defined as the minimum distance you must have between the surfaces of the heater and the
combustible item. Considerations must also be made for moving objects around the infrared heater.
This heater must not be installed where the products of combustion can build up and prevent them
being exhausted to the atmosphere. This includes applications such as; enclosures, recessed ceilings and alcoves.

5
This heater can be equipped with a heat shield to reduce the clearances to combustibles towards
the ceiling. Due to the variety of possible heater mounting angles the heat shield must be mounted in the correct
location to match the heater mounting angle. See section 13.0 heat shield installation.
Approved installation angles are 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 degrees with the heat shield installed.
Certain materials or objects, when stored under the heater, will be subjected to radiant heat and
could be seriously damaged. Observe the Minimum Clearances to Combustibles listed in the manual and on the
heater at all times.
For maximum safety the building must be evaluated for hazards before installing the heater system.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
•Gas and electrical lines
•Combustible and explosive materials
•Chemical storage areas
•Areas of high chemical fume concentrations
•Provisions for accessibility to the heater
•Adequate clearances around the openings
•Combustion and ventilating air supply
•Vehicles parking areas
•Vehicles with lifts or cranes
•Storage areas with stacked materials
•Lights
•Sprinkler heads
•Overhead doors and tracks
•Dirty, contaminated environment
This heater is approved for both INDOOR and OUTDOOR installation. Both installation options have different clearances
to combustibles as described below. These must be observed.
INDOOR clearances to combustibles are defined as a surface temperature of 90°F above ambient temperature.
OUTDOOR clearances to combustibles are defined as a surface temperature of 117°F above ambient temperature.
OUTDOOR Spaces are defined as a shelter no more inclusive than:
a) with walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover.
b) 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.
c) 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.
For the purposes of clearances to combustibles and ventilation all applications not classified as
outdoors according to the definitions above shall comply with the requirements for indoor installations.
Minimum clearances shall be measured from the outer surfaces of the heater or heat shield if installed, as shown in
the diagrams for the different installation positions.
Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater. This distance
may exceed the published clearance to combustibles. The exhaust gas temperature will be 800°F (426°C) and above
where it exits the heater. Certain applications will require the use of high temperature sprinkler heads or relocation of
the heaters. Sprinkler head temperatures lower than “blue color code” might not be suitable in the vicinity of the
heater.
Sprinkler systems containing propylene glycol or other flammable substances are not to be used in conjunction with
this heater without careful consideration for and avoidance of potential fire or explosion hazards. For further
information consult the authority having jurisdiction. Always observe applicable state and local codes.

7
Always maintain minimum clearances and post signs where needed. This heater is supplied with a
wall mounted sign shown below. It is the installers responsibility to ensure that the sign is completed with the correct
clearance to combustible distances for the installation and that the sign is posted in a location where it is easily
accessed.
Clearances to combustibles are posted on the heater. In areas used for storage of combustible
materials where they may be stacked below the heater the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum
permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.” SunStar
recommends posting these signs adjacent to the heater thermostat or other suitable location that will provide
enhanced visibility.

8
INDOOR CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90º F (50º C) above
room temperature. Building materials with a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc.)
may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent
materials are protected from degradation.

HEATER SIZING GUIDELINES
Radiant heaters work like the sun to emit radiant heat directly to the space to increase the comfort of the patio
guests. Suitable applications include patios, porches, outdoor shopping areas and pathways.
The amount of temperature increase in outdoor patio spaces will be dependent on the following factors:
1. The number of heaters in the space is important to provide good coverage of the area to be heated.
2. Take care not to mount the heaters too low or too close together this can make people directly below the
heaters uncomfortable.
3. It is recommended to use a suitable windbreak to reduce the effects of direct wind on the patio. If an area is
going to be unprotected and is a breezy location then heaters may need to be located closer together. Wind
breaks must be designed to allow fresh air for ventilation.
4. Angling the heaters greater than 30 degrees should be avoided unless the mounting height is low, when the
heaters are angled more than 30 degrees the radiant intensity is lower and will reduce the amount of heat felt
by the guests.
When angle mounting the heater the radiant output will decrease approximately by
following:
Mounting Angle
15 degree
30 degree
45 degree
60 degree
Radiant output reduction
3%
13%
29%
50%
5. It is recommended to place the heaters in the area of greatest heat loss facing into the patio area.
The table below shows minimum area coverage per heater for outdoor patio heating based on a 5 to 10°F (2.8 to
5.6°C) temperature rise.

The heater and ceramic glass are shipped separate but in the same box. Care must be taken
when up-packing the heater. Carefully open the top of the heater as indicated on the labels at the side of the
shipping box. An angle gauge is attached to the heater’s control side with tape and is needed for installation (see
Section 12.1).
The glass is located on top of the heater and is wrapped in cardboard cradled into the foam end pieces. Carefully
remove the top foam pieces and remove the cardboard wrapped glass. Care must be taken that during handling
the glass does not slide out of the cardboard wrap. Store the glass in a secure location for later assembly.
It is recommended that two people lift the heater out of the carton. Do not remove from the
remaining packaging until the heater is ready to be hung.
INSTALLATION

16
In order to protect the ceramic glass it is recommended to only insert the ceramic glass once all the other
installation steps have been completed. The ceramic glass must be removed to wire the heater and for
commissioning.
Various means of suspending the heater can be used. See the following drawings for typical examples.
a) Heaters installed outdoors or in areas subject to strong winds must be installed using the optional hanging
brackets or suitable rigid mount hardware. Chain, cable and other flexible hanging methods are not
recommended.
b) Use only noncombustible materials for suspending hangers and brackets.
c) Turnbuckles can be used with chains to allow leveling of the heater. All “S” hooks and eye bolts must be
manually crimped closed by the installer.
d) Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent
structure with adequate load capacity.
e) Hanging points are a fixed length between centers. Secondary steel work may be required to span between
supporting beams.
f) The appliance should be located with respect to building construction and other equipment to permit
access to the appliance for servicing etc.
f) The heater must be installed in an adequate free area to allow the products of combustion to freely escape
from the heater. The heater must not be installed in recessed spaces or enclosure and alcoves.
g) The heater must be suspended with its longitudinal axis horizontal, but may have its lateral axis at an angle
from 00to 600from the horizontal, as shown in the minimum clearances to combustibles section 4.0).
h) An optional heat shield may be installed to reduce the top distance of clearance to combustibles. This heat
shield should be installed prior to hanging the heater. When using the heat shield at the minimum
clearance distance the angles of installation are restricted to 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60°.
i) Use the provided angle gauge to ensure that the heater is hung at the approved installation angles.
j) The heater can be angle mounted on both sides of its lateral axis.
k) Hanging brackets should first be fixed to the wall surface by means of 4 lag bolts –not supplied (3/8” x 1-
1/2” minimum) through pre-formed holes in each of the brackets prior to installing heater.

HEATER MOUNTING ANGLE
Every heater is supplied with an angle gauge. The gauge is attached with tape to the heater control side.
The angle gauge is used in combination with a level to ensure that the heater is installed at one of the mounting
angles of 00, 150, 300, 450and 600.
Hold the side of the angle gauge without label flush against the glass surface. Hold a level against the other side of
the angle gauge and find the desired installation angle of the heater. Verify that the level is vertical, adjust heater
angle if needed.
Note: If a heat shield is installed its location must match the heaters angle (see Section 21.0).
This process must be repeated for both ends of the heater.
INDOOR INSTALLATION –HANGING METHODS
When the heater is used for an Indoor Installation then the following hanging methods may be used.
The heater can be hung from the ceiling, secondary steel work, etc. using chains, threaded rods and other approved
hanging materials. All hanging materials must have a minimum working load of 115 lbs. Any “S” hooks must be
crimped closed after installation.
Note:
When hanging the heater hanging materials which allow the heater to move the gas connection must be
established using an approved flexible gas hose of a minimum of 24”length.
Diagram below shows Horizontal mounting with chain.

18
Diagram below shows the possible chain methods to hang at different angles.
Notes: When suspending at 25 degrees if the heat shield is installed use the 30-degree location for the heat shield.
INDOOR / OUTDOOR RIGID HANGING BRACKETS
Fixed hanging methods which prevent the heater from swaying must be used for outdoor installations.
Below are the bracket kits which can be used for ceiling and wall mount for patio heaters installed indoors and
outdoors, with and without heat shields. The brackets provide for a range of lengths and approved mounting angles
of 150, 300, 450and 600.
