Installation planning
- Electrical: a licensed electrician must hard-wire the heater permanently, following the National Electrical Code and local codes for outdoor wiring, with a means of disconnection. Use 1/2" conduit fittings with rigid metallic, flexible or liquid-tight conduit, copper wire rated for 90 degrees C (194 degrees F), and wiring parts listed for outdoor use with at least an IPX4 rating. Do all assembly with the power off.
- Voltage: the supply must match the voltage on the heater's label. Heaters above 240 volts are for commercial use only.
- Wall mount: at least 18" from adjacent walls and 12" below the ceiling, aimed 30 to 60 degrees downward.
- Ceiling mount: at least 18" from adjacent walls and 6" from the ceiling, tilted no more than 30 degrees.
- Height: at least 6 ft above the floor if the label says UL listed, or 8 ft if it says UL/CUL listed.
- Clearances: keep 18" clear on all four sides and 36" directly in front, with brackets that hold the face at least 6" off the mounting surface. Keep cords, drapes, furniture and other combustibles at least 3 ft from the front and away from the sides and back, and never run it within 25 ft of flammable or explosive materials.
- Aim and position: mount it level with the quartz tubes horizontal (it can rotate on its horizontal axis to aim). Bull recommends about 45 degrees unless it is mounted above 12 ft, heating from the cold or windy side where you can, and not directly over tables or other objects that would absorb the heat. Mount it under a roof or cover when possible.
Care: Turn off the power and let the heater cool completely before any maintenance. Clean the end covers with isopropyl alcohol, mild detergent or warm water on a soft, scratch-free cloth, and use a stainless steel cleaner on oxidation, surface rust or discoloration; dry it fully and remove all water and cleaner before restoring power. To replace an element, switch off at the breaker, lift off the guard, remove both end covers, unhook the element clips and nuts, and fit the new quartz element, holding the ceramic end firmly while you snug the nut with an 11/32" wrench (a loose connection can short or shorten element life). Do not use the heater with a cracked or damaged element, never leave it running unattended, do not block it, and do not use it in place of forced-air or ductless heating.
