2. INSTALLATION IN COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT HANGARS
Luminous (high intensity) radiant tube heaters are suitable for use in aircraft hangars when in-
stalled in accordance with the latest edition of the Standard for Aircraft Hangars, ANSI/NFPA
No 409 in the USA, or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, B149.1.
A. A minimum clearance of 8 ft (2.4 m) must be maintained from the bottom of the heater to
the floor in other sections of the aircraft hangar, such as offices and shops, which communi-
cate with areas for servicing or storage. Refer to Table 1 for clearances to combustibles.
B. Heaters must be located so as to be protected from damage by aircraft and other objects,
such as cranes and movable scaffolding.
C. Heaters must be located so as to be accessible for servicing and adjustment.
3. INSTALLATION IN COMMERCIAL GARAGES AND PARKING STRUCTURES
Luminous (high intensity) radiant heaters are suitable for use in commercial garages when in-
stalled in accordance with the latest edition of the Standard for Parking Structures, ANSI/NFPA
88A, or the Standard for Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA No. 88B, or the Canadian Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, B149.1.
An overhead heater shall be located to maintain the minimum
distance to combustibles, as shown on the heater rating plate,
from the heater to any vehicles parked below the heater.
Overhead heaters shall be installed at least 8 ft (2.4 m) above the floor.
4. INSTALLATIONS OTHER THAN SPACE HEATING
Use for process or other applications that are not space heating will void the C.S.A. certification
and product warranty. Process application requires field inspection and/or certification by local
authorities having jurisdiction. Process application design should be provided by local experi-
enced process design experts.
5. PRE INSTALLATION SURVEY
It is recommended that a full heating design including heat loss calculation be conducted on
the structure or area to be heated. Heater sizing and placement must consider available
mounting height, sources of greatest heat loss, and obstructions on the site. The certified clear-
ances to combustibles with respect to stored material, moveable objects (cranes, vehicles, lifts,
overhead doors, etc), structural components, and sprinkler system heads. Consideration must
also be given to ventilation fan placement (outdoor heaters do not require ventilation). Carefully
survey the area to be heated, and for best results place heaters in the coldest area(s) and at
sufficient spacing to provide uniform radiant heat coverage.
