REFLECTOR INSTALLATION
CAUTION
CUT HAZARD - SHARP EDGES.
Wear protective gloves when installing and handling
and cutting reflectors. Failure to follow these
instructions will result in personal injury.
Heat tube combination hangers are an integral part of the
reflector support system. Improperly installed heat tube
hangers will distort reflectors and result in an undesirable
appearance of the entire system.
Check to be sure all combination hangers and
intermediate supports are hanging straight. Tubes must
be straight and in line before installing reflectors.
Install reflector elbows and "tees" where required.
1. Starting from burner slide reflector through tube
hanger until end stops against drawband coupler.
Nearest the burner, attach reflector end cap to with 4
sheet metal screws.
2. Adjust position of reflector supports so that reflector is
held level and parallel with heat tube. Where
possible, position one support at overlapped ends of
reflectors.
3. Using same procedure, continue to install reflector
sections until entire system is complete. Make sure
each reflector section is overlapped a minimum of 1 -
2" (2.5 – 5 cm) and secured as outlined on page 13.
4. When last section of reflector has been installed,
inspect heat tube and reflector assembly as follows:
a. Check to be sure all heat tubes are straight and in
line. Adjust suspension when necessary.
b. Make sure all radiant tube joints are properly
aligned, sealed, and secured.
c. Check all heat tube suspension points, clamps,
turnbuckles, lock nuts, etc. are in place and tight.
All suspension chain should be hanging straight
down.
d. Check all reflector joints for minimum 1 - 2" (2.5 –
5 cm) overlap.
e. Overlapped joints are secured with sheet metal
screws. Make sure expansion joint is in every
straight run - see next page.
f. Check all reflector hangers and supports for
location and make sure reflectors are straight and
in line.
g. Make sure all combination hanger hooks are
closed.
PERIMETER MOUNTING
In areas of high heat loss such as doorways and the
perimeter of some buildings, it may be desirable to install
the reflectors so that heat is concentrated and directed to
a specific area rather than straight down. Two options are
available to accomplish this, 1) install side shields or 2)
angle mount the reflector.
SIDE SHIELD INSTALLATION
Optional side shield reflectors (PN 0663.00) may be
installed on either side or both sides of the reflector. The
10-ft. (3 m) long side shields should line up with a reflector
and have identical overlap and expansion joints.
1. Position the side shield reflector next to the reflector,
and mark the areas where relief notches must be cut.
2. Cut the appropriate relief notches as noted.
3. Secure the side shield to the reflector with #8 x 3/8"
sheet metal screws. The screws should be used
approximately every 36" (91 cm).
4. Install the side shield supports (P/N 0664.00) every 5’
(1.5 m)
5. An overlapping expansion joint must be used in each
straight run. This expansion joint should match the
location of the overlapping expansion joint for the
reflectors. All overlap areas should also match the
reflector overlap.
In applications where excessive air movement is
encountered, such as open doors and the like, the Side
Shields should be fastened together with 2 sheet metal
screws at each overlap joint.
NOTE:
DO NOT screw the
expansion joints together.
