baseboard heaters
Posted 05-24-2013 at 05:28 AM by butrflz2342
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 who visited our unit. however funny part is, we had already spoken to 2 different ppl from their office who never mentioned anything about clearance from these heaters when we called for info. someone please help!
