a) All heaters will also require a minimum clearance overhead for personnel access and
element removal. In cases where the available height is insufficient, a roof or ceiling trap
might be considered.
b) Pipes should not be run within ten inches of any control cabinets or combustible material.
c) Failure to provide suitable and safe access at the time of commissioning may cause
delays, as our Service Engineers are instructed not to commence commissioning if
hazardous conditions exist.
