CONNECTING BURNER ASSEMBLY TO
RADIANT TUBE/REFLECTOR ASSEMBLY
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT,
ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE
CAN CAUSE DEATH, SEVERE INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Refer to the following instructions as well as the
engineering drawing for proper installation of the
Reflect-O-Ray
®
EDS6 system. The thermostat must
control both the Vacuum Exhauster and Burner(s).
DO
NOT CONTROL SEPERATELY. Burner(s) MUST
NOT be wired “HOT”.
Refer to the electrical wiring
section of this manual.
1. Verify correct burner assembly for gas service, i.e.
natural gas burner for natural gas supply.
2. Hang the burner so that it butts up to the 16 Ga. tube
of the tubing and reflector assembly, and connect the
two with the draw band coupler provided. DO NOT
APPLY SEALER TO THIS CONNECTION. Position
bolting assembly on the top of the tube assembly as
shown. After tightening the coupler, check to make
sure the burner is lined up squarely. Reposition as
may be required, and re-tighten the draw band clamp.
3. The coupler flange should be positioned on the
TOPSIDE
of the tube. Tighten bolts on coupler to 50
to 70 ft. Ibs. Secure with 2 sheet metal screws. See
illustration below.
4. Connect the gas connector as outlined on page 17.
5. If used, connect the combustion air inlet as shown on
page 18.
NOTES: Heater must be independently supported and not
rely on the gas or electrical line for any of its support. If
there is not a convenient point for suspending the hanging
chain above the heater
DO NOT
try to "stretch" the span
by having severe angles on the chain. Rather build a
bridge between the existing building structure using angle
Iron, Uni-strut, etc. and then suspend the chain so that it
hangs vertically.
GAS SUPPLY PIPING
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all the
burners being installed plus any other connected load.
When gas piping is not included in the layout drawing, the
local gas supplier will usually help in planning the gas
piping.
To check system supply pressure, a plugged 1/8" (
3.2mm
)
pipe tapping is incorporated in the gas manifold of the
burner, this will be the most remote location from the
meter or gas supply. Joint compound resistant to the
action of LP gases/propane gas should be used on all pipe
threads.
CAUTION:
FOR HIGH PRESSURE TESTING ON
GAS PIPING, DISCONNECT COMPLETELY ALL
BURNER UNITS AND THE SHUTOFF COCKS
SUPPLIED WITH SAME: THEN INSTALL PIPE CAP ON
SYSTEM AND CONDUCT TEST. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THIS PROCEDURE WILL EXCEED PRESSURE RATING
OF BOTH BURNER GAS CONTROLS AND THE STOP
COCK AND THIS WILL REQUIRE COMPLETE
REPLACEMENT OF THESE PARTS AN OPTIONAL
HIGH PRESSURE GAS VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED
BY THE INSTALLING CONTRACTOR.
NOTE: A drip leg must be provided in the gas supply line.
Check for gas leaks using a water and soap solution. Gas
supply lines must be clear of dirt and debris. Purge supply
lines of air before attempting to light burners.
GAS CONNECTORS
The purpose of the gas connector from the burner to the
gas piping is twofold as follows:
1. To facilitate installation and replacement of the burner,
2. To accommodate movement between the burner and
the gas piping. See Warning on page 17.
Combustion Research Corporation does not recommend
rigid construction.
This front burner surface
must be plumbed level
Insure that weld seam on
Combustion Tube is on the
bottom or towards the floor
Sight Window
Suspension Point
Mount bolt assembly
on top of tube
Secure with 2 sheet
metal screws
Reflector end cap
must be installed
