HeatStar ERXL-40 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y Manual Del Propietario página 3

SECTION 2: Planning
The following codes and instructions should be followed
when planning the installation of the Heatstar ERXL heater. In
addition to these instructions, the warnings in (Section 1) must
be carefully adhered to since improper installation may lead to
property damage, injury, or death.
National Standards and Applicable
Codes
Gas Codes:
The type of gas appearing on the nameplate must be
the type of gas used. Installation must comply with local
codes and recommendations of the local gas company,
and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 – latest
revision, (same as NFPA Bulletin 54) or the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
• Clearance between the heater and its vent and adjacent
combustible material (which is part of the building
or its contents) shall be maintained to conform with
the Standard for Installation of Gas Appliances and
Gas Piping, NFPA-54 / ANSI Z223.1 – latest revision,
National Fuel Gas Code or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
Aircraft Hangers:
Installation in aircraft hangers must be in accordance
with the Standard for Aircraft Hangers, ANSI / NFPA-409
– latest revision.
• Heaters in aircraft storage or service areas shall be
installed at a height of 10 feet above the upper surface
of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft
which may be housed in the hanger. (This should be
measured from the bottom of the heater to the wing or
engine enclosure, whichever is highest from the floor.)
• In other sections of aircraft hangers, such as shops or
offices, heaters must not be installed less than 8 feet
above the floor.
• Heaters installed in aircraft hangers shall be located
so as not to be subject to damage by aircraft, cranes,
moveable scaffolding or other objects.
Public Garages:
Installations in garages must be made in accordance
with the Standard for Parking Structures, NFPA-88A –
latest revision or the Standard for Repair Garages, NFPA-
88B – latest revision.
• Heaters must not be installed less than 8 feet above
the floor. Minimum clearances to combustibles must be
maintained from vehicles parked below the heater.
• When installed over hoists, minimum clearances to
combustibles must be maintained from the uppermost
point on the hoist.
Venting:
The venting must be installed in accordance with NFPA-
54 / ANSI Z223.1 or CSA 149.1– latest revision, National
Fuel Gas Code. Partial information with regard to this
code is provided in (Section 5) of this installation manual
with regard to size and configurations for venting
arrangements.
Enerco | Heatstar ERXL Series Heater
• Any portion of flue pipe passing through a combustible
wall must be dual insulated or have an approved thimble.
Refer to ANSI-Z223.1 or CSA149.1– latest revision.
Hazardous Locations:
Where there is the possibility of exposure to combustible
airborne material or vapor, consult the local Fire Marshal,
the fire insurance carrier or other authorities for approval
of the proposed installation.
Critical Considerations
Heatstar ERXL is a suspended heater. Therefore, its
stability, flexibility, and safety are very important. Before
starting installation, be sure the system can meet the
following requirements.
• Maintain specified clearances to combustibles, and safe
distance from the heat-sensitive material, equipment and
work stations.
• The stated clearances to combustibles represent
a surface temperature of 90°F (30°C) above room
temperature. Building materials with low heat tolerance
(such as plastic, vinyl siding, canvas, etc.) may be subject
to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installers
responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are
protected from degradation.
• Provide a suspension with vertical length of chain or
swinging rod which has at least 2 inches of horizontal
travel for each burner in a straight run. Be sure the
suspension system is sufficiently flexible to accommodate
thermal expansion which occurs as the system heats up
(see Figure 6 on page 12).
• Provide access to burners for servicing, preferable on
both sides, above and behind the burner for removal.
• Provide a minimum of 18 inches of clearance between
burners and building walls. (Always observe minimum
clearances to combustibles.)
• Be sure the heater has a downward pitch of one-half
inch per 20 feet away from the burner.
• Provide signs in storage areas to specify maximum
stacking height to maintain required clearances to
combustibles.
• Plan location supports (see Figure 2A-F starting on page
8). Locate a support near all elbows.
• The installation must conform with local building codes
or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
• If an external electrical source is utilized, the heater,
when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with the National Electical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70 or current Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1.
