2.1 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon LLC 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 com-
pounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements (flu-
orine, 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.
2.2 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.
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing
corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in product damage.
