RING TERMINAL
Each heater is equipped with two hi-temperature silicone lead
wires and a ground termination.
Make sure power source
conforms to the heater requirements. Use only Fostoria
quartz tubes.
1. Insert quartz tube in the “L”-shaped slots in heater housing.
2. On each end of the quartz tube, place (1) lead wire ring
terminal, (1) lock washer and (1) hex nut on the threaded
stud and
tighten securely
