SCHWANK GAS INFRA-RED TUBE HEATER
STS-P SERIES
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of the Schwank STS-p Series
gas-fired tube heaters must conform to all
Schwank heating installation design procedures
including ventilation. All local, provincial and na-
tional code requirements including the current lat-
est edition B149.1 INSTALLATION CODE” in
Canada, and ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S.A. for gas
burning appliances and equipment. The latest edi-
tion Electrical Code PART 1 CSA C22.1 in Can-
ada and ANSI/NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A. must
also be observed. Due to ever changing standards and requirements, revision to our
equipment and installation procedures may be
necessary. In case of discrepancies, the latest
installation manual will take priority. The
Schwank STS-p heater may be installed for
heating of non-residential indoor spaces. It is
beyond the scope of these instructions to em-
brace all conditions that will be encountered.
All system piping must be supported in accor-
dance with acceptable practice, local codes, and
applicable standards.
1. GENERAL
2. INSTALLATION IN COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT HANGARS
3. INSTALLATIONS OTHER THAN SPACE HEATING
Use for process applications will void the C.S.A. certification and may require field inspection and/or
certification.
The Schwank Combined Intensity Heaters are
suitable for use in aircraft hangars when installed
in accordance with the following. NFPA No 409
(latest edition)
A. A minimum clearance of 10 ft above either
the highest fuel storage compartment or the
highest engine enclosure of the highest air-
craft which may occupy the hangar. The clear-
ance to the bottom of the heater shall be meas-
ured from the upper surface of either the fuel
storage compartment or the engine enclosure,
whichever is higher from the floor.
B. A minimum clearance of 8 ft must be main-
tained from the bottom of the heater in other
sections of the aircraft hangars, such as of-
fices and shops, which communicate with ar-
eas for servicing or storage. Refer to section 5
for proper mounting clearances to combusti-
bles.
C. Heaters must be located so as to be protected
from damage by aircraft and other objects,
such as cranes and movable scaffolding.
D. Heaters must be located so as to be accessible
for servicing and adjustment.
2.2 INSTALLATION IN COMMERCIAL GARAGES
The Schwank Combined Intensity Heaters are
suitable for use in commercial garages when in-
stalled in accordance with ANSI/NFPA No. 88B
1985 (latest edition), which states clearances to
combustible construction or material in storage,
from heater and vent, must conform to standard
NFPA No. 54 (ANSI Z223.1 latest edition), in the U.S.A. and the CSA B149.1-00, and
CAN1.2.16-M81 in Canada. “Overhead heaters
shall be installed at least (8) feet above the floor”.
In addition, they shall be located high enough to
maintain the minimum distance to combustibles,
as shown on the heater rating plate, between the
heater and any vehicles parked below the heater.
