How can I reduce the distance from the top of the heater to the ceiling?
My flat wood patio ceiling is 11 feet from the ground. If I mount the heater 34" below the ceiling per the owners manual, it would be less than 8 feet above the ground. Can I shield the ceiling from the heat by some approved method. Other brands only have an 18" distance from top to ceiling whereas this model requires 34".

Mr. Heater Product Expert· 10 years ago
Thank you for your inquiry. The clearances are based on certifications by the CSA. You can use a heat shield on the ceiling, but must comply with the clearances in the owners manual.

This heater requires a minimum of 34" from the top to combustibles (wood, insulation, etc.). You can use a heat shield to reduce this distance. Check with local building/heating codes to comply with heat shield requirements.

Ceiling to floor requirement
Hello, I need to find out if this or another unit can be installed 9 feet from above the floor as that is my ceiling clearance. Thank you! Julie

The clearance from the bottom is 68" from any combustibles. Typical installations are mounted at 10-12 feet.

No Direct Venting required
Yet, "Vent Free"...."No". Does that mean it has to be vented, or not?
Originally posted on HeatStar High-Intensity Infrared Natural Gas Heater, 120,000 BTU, Model# F190630-
Mr. Heater Product Expert· 12 years ago
Thank you for your inquiry. The heater itself does not have a direct vent. However, proper ventilation is required to run the heater.
Helpful?
-
ProductExpert38· 12 years ago
Direct venting is not required. It is not vent free because it is not designed to operate in an enclosed room with no ventilation. There must be some ventilation: This can include fans, exhaust fans, wind, and/or natural ventilation (open space like a patio).

Is this Heater Weather Proof?
We are looking for a heater to mount on our open air deck. Want to make sure it can be left out in the rain and weather.
Originally posted on HeatStar High-Intensity Infrared Natural Gas Heater, 120,000 BTU, Model# F190630-

This Overhead heater must be removed from the outside elements due to the nature of the tiles and the exposed pilot light.

I use this for patio heater in California. It is not directly exposed to rain but to humidity and dew in morning. We want to cover when not in use. Do you have a cover for this unit to reduce exposure to outdoors??
