Roberts-Gordon Industrial Heating Installation and Service
Roberts-Gordon heating equipment may be used in industrial spaces where comfort, process support, gas piping, venting and service access must be coordinated with production. Double D Mechanical helps facility teams plan installation, relocation and service work around heater placement, utilities, controls, clearances and surrounding equipment.

Heater Placement in Production Areas
Heating equipment should be located with attention to work areas, overhead obstructions, cranes, doors, racks, stored materials and maintenance access. In finishing spaces, placement should also be reviewed against booths, ovens, exhaust systems and air movement.
Gas Piping and Vent Routing
Gas lines, vent routes and combustion air needs should be coordinated before the heater is installed. Routing should avoid conflicts with structural steel, roof penetrations, overhead utilities, process ductwork and areas that need clear access.
- Trace existing gas capacity and routing options before placement.
- Check roof or wall paths for venting conflicts.
- Keep valves, controls and service points reachable.
Controls and Operating Zones
Controls should be arranged around how the space is used, including occupied areas, shift patterns, large doors and nearby exhaust equipment. Control wiring and sensors should be protected from heat, traffic, washdown or mechanical damage where applicable.
Service Access Above the Floor
Industrial heating service may require lifts, ladders or platforms, so access should be planned before surrounding equipment fills the area. Clear space is needed for burners, valves, vents, controls, hangers and components that may need inspection.
Frequently asked questions
What should be ready before a Roberts-Gordon heater review?
Have equipment information, building layout, ceiling height, gas routing notes, venting options, photos and any comfort or operating concerns ready.
Why review heaters near finishing equipment?
Finishing areas can have exhaust, make-up air and sensitive airflow patterns, so heater placement and venting should be coordinated with those systems.
Can industrial heaters be relocated?
They may be moved if the new location works for gas piping, venting, clearances, controls, structure and service access.
What trades may need coordination?
Mechanical, gas piping, electrical, controls, roofing, rigging and plant maintenance teams may need to coordinate depending on the scope.
What access should be maintained after installation?
Maintain access to burners, valves, vents, controls, sensors, hangers and any components that require inspection or service.
