Its requirements limit the spacing of an enclosed generator set from a structure or wall .. • ;'}. NFPA 37, Section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors: Engines, and their weatherproof housings if provided, that are Installed outdoors shall bs located at least a ft (1.52 m) from openings in wails and at least 5 fit (1.52 m) from structures having combustible walls. A minimum separation shall not be rsquired where the following conditions exist. 1. The adjacent wall of the structure has a fire resistance rating of at least one hour. 2. The weatherproof enclosure is constructed of noncombustible materials and it has been demonstrated that a fire within the enclosure will not Ignite combustible materials outside the enclosure. Annex A -- Explanatory Material A4.1.4 (2) Means of demonstrating compliance are by means of full scale fire test or by calculation procedures. Because of the limited spaces that are frequently available for installation, It has become apparent that exception (2) would be beneficial for many residential and commercial Installations. With that In mind, the manufacturer contracted with an Independent testing laboratory to run full scale fire tests to assure that the enclosure will not Ignite combustible materials outside the enclosure.
