Specific guidelines can be found in NFPA 13 regarding design and specifications for Fire Sprinkler Systems near heaters. 5. VENTILATON a) It is required that areas above the heater be properly vented to allow for necessary combustion air and removal of combustion gases.
7. PATIO DESIGN CONSIDERATION Heater placement is critical for effective and efficient patio heating. If heaters are placed too close together or mounted too low, people become uncomfortable. If the heaters are placed too far apart on a breezy or wind-swept patio area, the patio may never get warm. Gas Infrared heaters work best if they are placed in areas of the greatest heat loss, such as the open side of a semi-protected patio area.
