When installing the tube heater system, clearances to combustibles for the model tube heater and
configuration must be maintained. Refer to Chart 1.1 below to determine the required distances for your model.
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90ºF (32ºC) above room
temperature. Building materials with a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas,
tri-ply, etc.) may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to
assure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.
