Clearances to Combustibles - Required clearances depend on the mounting angle, whether the unit is vented or unvented, and/or the addition
of an optional side shield. The side shield is a field-installed modular shield that hangs vertically on the "rear" side along the entire length of the
system. Refer to the illustration below to define clearances. These clearances are installation requirements. In addition, ANSI Z223-1, Section 6.18,
requires that signs be posted specifying the maximum permissible stacking height for material stored below the heater.
Location Recommendations for Efficient Application
- When selecting the installation location, major factors to
consider are (1) Personal and Property Safety; (2) Personal
Comfort; and (3) Heating Efficiency. Because of the unique
features of radiant heat transfer, selecting the most efficient
location for infrared equipment depends on the "floor" cov-
erage of the emitted heat rays. Floor coverage distance can
be figured as approximately two times the mounting height of
the unit. However, comfort level heating depends on the
infrared intensity and on the balance of the radiant emission
over the length of the system. Infrared intensity decreases
with high mounting heights and greater floor coverage.

• For space heating infrared application, the location of the units must be evalu-
ated as part of the heater size selection. Determine the total BTU's required, the
floor coverage required, and the mounting height. From this information, design a
heater size and location plan that will provide the most complete floor coverage
without excessive overlapping. In most cases, perimeter heaters should be located
parallel to the wall. The distance from the wall is determined by whether the heaters
will be angled or horizontal.
• For spot heating application, the tubular system should be located to direct the
rays toward the area requiring heat. Depending on the installation, this can be done
either from directly overhead or with the heater angled from the side. Use the
mounting height, the size of heater, and the application conditions to determine the
most efficient location for the heater.
