INSTALLATION : UNIT PLACEMENT
IF UNIT IS LOCATED ABOVE GRADE WITHIN 10 ’ OF AN 8 ’ DEEP BASEMENT WALL, THE WALL WILL NEED TO BE REINFORCED IN ORDER TO PREVENT COLLAPSE OF WALL DUE TO TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE GARN® WHS UNIT. Check with your local code official if you have any questions concerning proper placement of the unit.
LOCATE THE UNIT ACCORDING TO YOUR LOCAL AIR SHED CODES. Minimum setback requirements from houses, roadways, and schools, may exist.
GARAGE PLACEMENT
Locate the GARN® WHS unit in a separate room or attached lean-to. There should be NO DIRECT connection between the garage and the GARN room. Provide a fully sealed 1 hour fire rated 5/8” shee trock wall between the GARN room and garage. The firewall must extend from floor to ceiling and for the full length of the room or lean-to. Local building and fire inspectors, as well as your insurance company have specific guidelines and often have final say as to location and construction of the GARN room and its access. Follow all local, state and national codes in the construction of the room or lean-to.
THERE MUST BE NO DIRECT CONNECTION OR PASSAGEWAY (I.E. NO WINDOW OR PERSONNEL DOOR) BETWEEN THE GARAGE AND THE GARN ROOM.
