NOTE: The clearances specified above must be maintained to combustibles and other materials that may be damaged by temperatures 90ºF above ambient temperature. Clearances to combustibles are posted on the reflector near the control end of the heater. In locations used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater, NFPA 54 requires that the installer must post signs that will "specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles".
WARNING: This heater is not approved for any residential installation including home, residential garage or recreational use (mobile home, RVs, Campers etc.). and require ventilation per National Codes. See the I&Os for complete installation requirements. For residential garage applications, Space-Ray recommends Cold Blocker ( CB Series) vented tube heaters.
