Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater. This
distance may exceed the published clearance to combustibles. Certain applications will require the use of
high temperature sprinkler heads or relocation of the heaters.
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 NFPA 13. Always observe applicable state and local codes.

INSTALLER
In locations used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater,
NFPA 54 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.” Sunstar
recommends posting these signs adjacent to the heater thermostat or other suitable location that will
provide enhanced visibility. It is important to provide warnings to alert individuals of potential hazards
and safety actions. Posted signs should state the hazards for the particular application and be legible
to building occupants.
