just hoping to get some clarification about water baseboard heaters. we live in an apartment building and were told the other day that we needed to have 3 feet of clearance around any one of our baseboard heaters in out unit, as per fire regulation.
i was told that water baseboard heaters would never get hot enough to ignite items around it. we've always allowed a few inches to be on the safe side but 3 feet seems a wee bit ridiculous.
this info came directly from a fire inspector...
