304.6 Public garages. Appliances located in public garages,
motor fueling-dispensing facilities, repair garages or other
areas frequented by motor vehicles, shall be installed a minimum
of 8 feet (2438 mm) above the floor. Where motor vehicles
are capable of passing under an appliance, the appliance
shall be installed at the clearances required by the appliance
manufacturer and not less than 1 foot (305 mm) higher than
the tallest vehicle garage door opening.
Exception: The requirements of this section shall not
apply where the appliances are protected from motor vehicle
impact and installed in accordance with Section 304.3
and NFPA 30A.
I have a fast food canopy over a drive through. It has gas heaters and electric fans installed at 8' above the drive surface under the canopy roof. There is no garage door, just an open canopy. They do show "removable magnetic delineators" to keep vehicles from passing underneath the appliances. Would you consider this "protection from vehicle impact"? What about a height restriction bar hanging over the entrance?
