SELECTING MOUNTING LOCATION – G AS I NFRARED H EATER
When selecting a location to install the T WIN E AGLES Gas Infrared Heater, all the following
factors must be met before the installation process:
1. ANCHORING TO WALL OR CEILING
If the heater is not anchored to support at least 100 lbs. (45 ½ kg.) it could be a
Suspension Hazard. Failure of the supports can result in death. Local codes regarding head
clearance requirement must be observed. Heaters shall be mounted in a fixed position independent
of gas and electrical supply.
2. COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Combustible means material that can quickly catch fire if it comes in contact with sparks or
fire. The Twin Eagles heater is a remote controlled unit that strictly requires that each heater must
be installed such that the “MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES” are always met
and maintained. CAUTION should be taken when heaters are used near glass, vinyl siding or
other temperature sensitive construction materials. In some cases it may be necessary to increase
the clearance around the heater to avoid damage to vinyl siding. Check with the manufacturer of
the material siding for details
3. WEATHER CONDITIONS
This heater has been designed, tested and approved for outdoor installation and has passed
basic wind and rain tests. However, do not expose the heater under extremely harsh weather
conditions and very windy areas.
4. FIRE SPRINKLERS
Fire Sprinklers must be located at an appropriate distance from each heater to avoid accidental
activation of the sprinkler. Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, antifreeze solutions or any other
potentially flammable substance must never be used in fire sprinkler systems where heaters
are present as these substances may become flammable when heated. A fire sprinkler
