LOCATION PLANNING

General

One Even-GLO heater, at high fire and in windless conditions, has a comfort radius of about twelve feet (24

ft. circle).

A series of heaters providing area heat should be placed about 14-20 feet apart.

Wind protection has an important influence on the body’s ability to retain radiant heat. Use natural or newly built wind

barriers where possible, such as existing buildings, shrubbery or tree lines and fences.

WARNING

This heater is NOT approved for any indoor Residential application.

If in doubt of your application consult with your local fire marshal or gas authority having jurisdiction.

A Residential Dwelling is a housekeeping unit used or intended to be used as a domicile by one or more

persons, containing cooking, eating, living, sleeping, and/or sanitary facilities. A Residential Dwelling

does not include an attached and detached garage, workshop or outdoors.

The Heater may be installed with shelter no more inclusive than:

1. With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover.

2. 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.

3. 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.

A patio that has been almost entirely closed in with a roof and windbreak walls or a tent may be considered

an indoor location in some code authorities. Refer to the Natural Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z.223.1 (NFPA 54) in

the US and CSA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada.

Safety Requirements

1. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or sprinkler systems.

NOTE: Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age.

2. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings. These materials may discolour or soften well

before they reach combustible limits.

3. The heater requires a minimum clearance from of combustible materials. See the Specifications / Details

4. Clearance to Combustible Materials information found in the Specifications / Details section.

5. Always allow room for removal of the Top Reflector and Burner head for maintenance purposes.

6. The heater aspirates (needs) air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are severe draft conditions

or airflow restrictions to the Burner head of the heater.

High Altitude Installation

When installing this heater over 4500 ft. above sea level in Canada, the heater must be properly de-rated and installed

according to local codes. In the absence of local codes, the heater must be de-rated in accordance with the most

recent CSA -B149 code. In the United States for installations over 2000ft above sea level the heater must be installed

in accordance with the Current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54(the heater shall be de-rated 4 percent

for each 1000 ft of elevation above sea level). High altitude conversion kits are available, contact manufacturer for

more details.

Series GA201-M2 8 LT126 June 2021

Clearance to Combustible Materials

The following clearance data is based on a maximum limit of 90°F (50°C) plus ambient temperature. Note with an

ambient temperature of 70°F the surface temperatures at the clearance distances listed below could reach 160°F.

Care should be taken with placement of plastic, or vinyl in the proximity of the heater as they tend to distort and soften

at these temperatures.

Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic, Plexiglas or other

materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible even through flame-

proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.

Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other materials which may be damaged by

radiant or convection heat.

NOTE: Some materials deteriorate or soften at sustained temperatures below 160°F.

Consult material manufacturer for recommendations

The Installer is responsible to ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance which may degrade

at higher temperatures are protected to prevent degradation.
