Sunstar SGM6 52,000 BTU LP Gas Infared Ceramic Heater

Whether you need to heat your warehouse, machine shop, or other hard-to-heat spaces, the SunStar StarGlo ceramic infrared heater provides both the fuel efficiency of radiant heat and the installation flexibility you need . . . and all at a comfortable price

The SunStar StarGlo

SGM Series

Millivolt Standing Pilot

CERAMIC INFRARED HEATER

The SunStar StarGlo is the answer for spot or area heating and for total building heating needs. It is also ideal for the replacement of existing ceramic heaters, over 10 million of which have been sold in North America since the early 1950’s. The SunStar StarGlo heats like the sun by transferring radiant heat energy directly into the area to be heated and creating a warm comfort zone at the floor level. This extremely efficient method of heating can result in fuel savings of between 30% and 50% when compared to forced air convection heating.

WIDE VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS

SunStar StarGlo Ceramic heaters are ideal for many heating needs. The best applications are those where doors open and close frequently and in buildings where ceiling heights are above twelve feet. These flexible SunStar infrared heaters can meet most commercial and industrial heating needs.

COMBUSTION AIR AND VENTILATION

Combustion air and venting requirements for all gas-fired heating equipment must be provided per the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA54 and CAN B149 or the authority having jurisdiction over the installation. Refer to Installation and Operation Instructions for further information. An indirect vented installation requires a minimum ventilation flow of 4 CFM per 1000 Btu/hr of total installed heater capacity on natural gas by either gravity or power ventilation (4.18 CFM per 1000 Btu/hr on propane). For indirect vented applications, building exhaust openings must be located above the level of the heaters and the inlet air openings must be located below the level of the heaters.
