Slide the next tube into the coupling.
5.
Make sure both tube ends are butted together.
6.
Finish tightening both bolts to 40-60 ft.lbs. torque to ensure a complete seal.
7.
Use the two Self-drilling screws through the pre-punched holes to secure the tubes in the coupling.

ADDING REFLECTORS
1.
Slide the reflectors on the tube support/hanger brackets and through the wire hangers.
2.
The tube at the coupling joints must be covered. Slide the reflectors together and provide an overlap of two
(2”) inches for the first reflector overlap after the control unit. All remaining reflector overlaps will be
approximately one (1”) inch. This will allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the heater when in
operation. Note: The heaters can expand and
