4. PRE-INSTALLATION SURVEY
The Schwank SEB /SEBU heating system 
must have gas piping of the correct diameter, 
length, and arrangement to function properly. 
For this reason, a layout drawing is 
necessary. 
Carefully survey area to be heated, and for 
best results, whenever possible, place burner 
and combustion chamber in coldest area.

 not cause any combustible material in storage to reach a 
 temperature in excess of 160
O
F.
This heater must be mounted and positioned 
to maintain the minimum clearance to com-
bustible materials as shown in FIGURE 1 
(PAGE 4) TABLE 3 (PAGE 4). For recom-
mended heater placement refer to TABLE 2 
(below). Heaters should also be located and 
installed with respect to building construction 
and equipment to provide a minimum clear-
ance of 24 inches from the end of burner 
housing for servicing and cleaning of burner, 
blower and controls. A minimum horizontal 
clearance of 4 ft. from electrical meters, gas 
meters, regulators and relief equipment is re-
quired by ANSI Z223.1.& CSA B149.1-00.
