4.4 Choose Location for Heater
When selecting a suitable mounting location for the

following:
• The heater must meet the minimum mounting
height requirement of 7' (2134 mm) above the
floor. For aircraft hangars and public garages, the
heater must meet the minimum mounting height
requirement of 8' (2438 mm) above the floor.
• The proposed mounting location allows for the
required safe distances from combustibles such
as vehicles, wood, gasoline and flammable
objects, liquids and vapors.
• The proposed location of the heater will not
restrict motion of passageway doors or windows.
• The proposed location will not interfere with oper-
ation of the overhead garage door or allow the
door to enter the required safe distances from
combustibles.
• The proposed location will provide the best cover-
age of the total area to be heated.
• Consideration be given to the types of vehicles
that will be parked in the garage (cars, vans,
boats, RV's, etc.).
• The proposed location will allow for the required
safe distances from combustibles with respect to
the vehicles parked in the garage.
• The proposed location will allow the required utili-
ties (i.e.: gas and electric) and venting to be
installed (maximum vent length is 10' [3048 mm]).
• Sufficient clearances will exist to allow for easy
access to the service door.
• Overhead structural members (rafters, beams,
etc.) are accessible for attaching the heater.
