4. PRE-INSTALLATION SURVEY
The ATH / IA heating system must be supplied by 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, for best results. Whenever possible, place burner and combustion 
chamber in coldest area. 
5. MOUNTING CLEARANCES
This heater must be mounted with minimum clearances between the reflector surface and 
combustibles as shown in FIGURE 1 (page 5) TABLE 3 (page 5). 
 
For recommended heater placement refer to TABLE 2 (below). Heaters should also be located

24 inches from the end of burner housing to allow for servicing and cleaning of burner, blower 
and controls.
