6.6.1
Remove the packaging/protection from the Radiant Tubes and ensure that they are clear internally. It is
recommended that the appliance is suspended in sections which are joined by the use of a Torctite Coupling
once in position. Appliances may however, at the discretion of the installation engineer, be assembled (less
Reflector Panels) prior to being suspended, in which case due consideration must be given to the means by
which the appliance is to be safely raised into position.
6.6.2
Place the Radiant Tubes on trestles, providing 150mm minimum clearance above the floor and assemble the
four Hanger Brackets to the Radiant Tubes using one U bolt per bracket (from fastenings pack) and position
along the Radiant Tubes as shown in Fig. 24. Ensure that the welded seam of the tubes is in contact with the
Hanger Bracket i.e. facing away from the reflector. Tighten the nuts sufficiently to retain the Hanger Brackets.
Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT
: Failure to assemble the Radiant Tubes with their welded seam facing away from the reflector will
void the manufactures warranty.
6.6.3
Place one Torctite Coupling over the end of the relevant Radiant Tube ensuring that it engages fully up to the
stop. Assemble the Control Box to the Radiant Tube ensuring that it engages fully into the Torctite Coupling
(up to the stop) and is positioned vertically with the door latch uppermost (see fig.10). Tighten the nuts of the
Torctite Coupling to secure the Control Box to the Radiant Tube, taking care to support the Control Box in line
with the axis of the tube.
NOTE: Tighten the Torctite Coupling screws alternately whilst continually checking for slackness of the joint.
6.6.4
Place a second Torctite Coupling over the end of the remaining Radiant Tube ensuring that it engages fully, up
to the stop. Assemble the Fan Assembly to the Radiant Tube ensuring that it engages fully into the Torctite
Coupling (up to the stop) and is positioned with the fan outlet horizontal for flueless applications and either
horizontal or vertical (facing upwards) for flues applications. Tighten the nuts of the Torctite Coupling to secure
the Fan Assembly to the Radiant Tube, taking care to support the Fan Assembly in line with the axis of the tube.
NOTE: Tighten the Torctite Coupling screws alternately whilst continually checking for slackness of the joint.
6.6.5
The two sections of the appliance should now be raised and suspended from previously fixed chains or drop
rods as detailed in Section 5.1, at suspension points indicated in Fig. 24. Rope or webbing should be used
when lifting from above. If using a forklift to position the appliance sections, ensure that they are balanced on
the forks prior to lifting.
6.6.6
Place the third Torctite Coupling over the open end of one Radiant Tube ensuring that it engages fully, up to the
stop. Assemble the second Radiant Tube into the Torctite Coupling ensuring that it engages fully, up to the
stop, with the Hanger Brackets aligned with those of the first Radiant Tube section (see Fig. 24). Tighten the
nuts of the Torctite Coupling to secure the two sections of Radiant Tube to one another, taking care to maintain
the tubes in a straight line.
NOTE: Tighten the Torctite Coupling screws alternately whilst continually checking for slackness of the joint.
6.6.7
Place two of the Reflector Panels onto the Hanger Brackets and position their outer edges such that they
overhang the outer Hanger Bracket by 80mm (see Fig. 24). Place the third Reflector Panel over the two
previously positioned Reflector Panels to provide a 50mm overlap at each end. Clamp the first and second
Reflector Panels, where they overlap, to the second Hanger Bracket, (from Control Box) using two retainers
and M6 setscrews and washers (fastenings pack). Secure the outer end of the centre Reflector Panel to the
Reflector Panel at the Fan Assembly end of the appliance, using two 'U' type speed clips (from fastenings pack)
as shown in Fig. 24. Screw the remaining (6) retainers to each of the other Hanger Brackets to provide
location
for the Reflector Panels as shown in Fig.21.
Note: the Reflector Panels, where located but not clamped, will be free to move and compensate for
expansion and contraction caused by temperature variation.
6.6.8
Position one Reflector End Panel over the Radiant Tube and into one end of the Reflector Panels with the End
Panel flange flush with the end of the Reflector Panel. Secure the Reflector End Panel to the Reflector Panel
by the use of six 'U'' type speed clips provided (fastenings pack); 2 clips per facet of Reflector Panel, as shown
in Fig. 24.
Repeat the procedure to attach the second Reflector End Panel to the opposite end of the Reflector.
