in the following areas:
• Residential living or sleeping areas
• Basements
Installer's responsibility
The GSP tube heater, as well as the gas and electrical
supply, and the venting of the heater must be installed in
accordance with the applicable specifications and codes.
Only firms (or individuals) well qualified in this type of work
should install the system. Consult local Building Inspectors,
Fire Marshals for further guidance.
Use the information given in this manual together with
the cited codes and regulations to perform the installation.
The installer must furnish all needed materials that are not
furnished as standard equipment. It is also the installers
responsibility to see that the materials and installation
methods used result in a job that is workmanlike in
appearance and is in compliance with all applicable codes
and requirements to this manual. The installer must give
this manual to the owner.
The stated clearances to combustibles (page 8)
represents a surface temperature of 90°F (32°C) above
room temperature. Building material with low heat
tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc.)
may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures.
It is the installer's responsibility to assure that adjacent
materials are protected from degradation.

Gas-Fired Low-Intensity Infrared Heater
Gas Service Requirements:
Type of Gas
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. United
States: Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 -
latest revision, (same as NFPA Bulletin 54). In Canada:
Refer to Can 1-B149.1: Installation Codes for Gas Burning
Appliances.
Gas Supply Lines
The size of the gas supply lines must comply with local
codes and recommendations of the local gas company.
United States: Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 - latest revision, (same as NFPA Bulletin 54). In
Canada: Refer to CAN 1-B149.1: Installation Codes for
Gas Burning Appliances. A 1/8" NPT plugged tap must be
installed in the gas line connection immediately upstream
of the heater that is farthest from the gas supply meter.
The tap is required to check system gas pressure.
Meter and Service
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all the
heaters being installed plus any other connected load. The
gas line which feeds the system must be large enough to
supply the required gas with a maximum pressure drop of
½"W.C. (0.125 kPa) When gas piping is not included in the
layout drawing, the local gas supplier will usually help in
planning the gas piping.
Electrical Service Requirements:
System Requirements
The GSP tube heater requires a grounded three-prong
electrical outlet to be installed within 36 inches of the rear
surface of the heater's burner box. It is recommended that
the outlet for the heater be ceiling-mounted and should be
on a dedicated circuit. DO NOT use an electrical extension
cord to operate the heater.
Heater Rating: 120VAC, 60Hz, Single Phase, 1 Amp
WARNING:
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug heater into grounded three-prong ceiling
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug. Do not use with an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death
or electrical shock.
Grounding
The heater must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the following codes: United States: Refer to National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70 latest revision. Wiring must
conform to the most current National Electrical Code and
local ordinances. In Canada: Refer to Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1 - latest revision.
