1. Plan the installation. Determine location for the heater
to optimize its heat pattern, keeping in mind cooler
regions in the house (end walls, and curtains) and
clearances to combustibles.
2. Hang the burner box. See Fig. 5. Maintain clearances
to combustibles as shown in Fig. 1.
3. From the burner box chain, measure the distances
shown in Fig. 6 or 7 depending on if a Sentinel or
Oval 80 heater is being installed.
Aligning to the
center of the burner box discharge
, hang
chains at these points, using open eye hooks.
Refer to Fig. 8 (on next page) and the following instructions:
1. Slide a tube clamp over the non-swaged end of the 10 ft.
bright aluminized tube. One aluminized tube per tube kit.
2. Install the tube over the swaged discharge tube on the
burner box:
a. Tube weld seam must be down.
b. Non-swaged end of tube must be complete-
ly pushed over swaged end of adjoining
tube.
c. Clamp must be centered over tube
connection.
d. Clamp bolts must be up.
e. Clamp bolts must be tight.
-- Tighten both bolts fi rmly.
-- Tighten both bolts to 35 ft.-lbs.
-- Finish tightening bolts:
-- Sentinel Heaters: Finish tightening bolts
to 65 ft. lbs.
-- Oval 80 Heaters: Finish tightening bolts
