10. HEATER INSTALLATION
Inadequate or improper suspension of the tube heater can result in collapse of
the system, property damage, and personal injury or death. Suspend the heater
from a structural member that can adequately support the weight of the heater.
Always maintain the required minimum clearances to combustible materials and
vehicles (see pages 7 to 10).
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the hardware and structural supports from which
the heater is suspended are sound and of adequate strength to support the weight [86 lb (39
kg)] and expansion forces of the heater.

IMPORTANT
:
FIRST READ: Review the information on pages 4 to 10 and ensure that in-
stallation adheres to the instructions in this manual, and all national and local codes.
Refer to pages that follow for illustrations and dimensions that assist in installation
.
1. Survey the available structural support, considering the system configuration and heat re-
quirements of the area to establish the optimum heater location.
2. The heater can be mounted with the tube/reflector in a horizontal position, or at 30°. Locat-
ing a heater directly under joists or beams, and/or installing supplemental support such as
angle iron can ensure the integrity of the installation.
3. Hardware with a minimum 100 lb. (30 kg) work load must be used at each heater suspen-
sion point. A #2 Lion Chain or equivalent is typically used to suspend the heater.
b) If rigid hardware such as 3/8” threaded rod is used for suspension, swing joints or other
means must be provided to allow for system expansion - approximately ½ inch
4. The heater must be supported at all four mounting tabs on the hangers that are located
72 inches (183 cm) apart .
