1.2 Heater Suspension
Attachment to the heater support lugs should be
made by a D shackle. The hanging attachments
to overhead steelwork etc. must be purpose
made to good sound engineering practice or of
a proprietary type supplied by others.
They must be adequately fixed and designed to
carry the whole weight of the heater. In the
event of suitable roof steelwork being
unavailable, additional steelwork should be fitted
to enable vertical hangers to be used for
suspending the heaters.
These methods are illustrated in Figure 1. If
there are any doubts as to the strength or
suitability of roof steelwork to which heaters are
suspended, please refer to a Consultant,
Architect, structural engineer, or owner of the
building.
It is recommended that the heater is raised to its
final position once the assembly of the tube/
bracket/reflector has been completed. Longer
tube assemblies may be raised in more than
one sub-assembly with final tube connections
made in the air.
1.3 Wall
Mounting
These radiant tube heaters can be wall mounted
using the appropriate bracket.
When using the wall mounting brackets the
heater must be inclined at an angle between 35°
and 55°, when side wall (perimeter) reflectors
are not used.

1.1 Health and Safety
A.
Heaters are intended for heating
non-residential indoor spaces and should
only be installed where flammable gases
or vapors are not generally present.
B.
Heaters may be suspended either
horizontal or at an angle, or may be wall
mounted. See section 1.5 for clearance
dimensions.
C.
The installation must conform with local
building codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
or the
Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1.
D.
The unit shall be electrically grounded in
accordance with National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1.
E.
The heater may be installed in aircraft
hangars in accordance with the Standard
for
Aircraft Hangars, ANSI/NFPA 409,
and in automotive garages in accordance
with the Standard for
Parking Structures,
ANSI/NFPA 88A
, or the Standard for
Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA 88B,
, or
the
Canadian Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1
, and
are
so marked.
Ensure that minimum clearances will be
maintained to vehicles parked below the
heater.
F. The standard heaters are approved for
installations
between
0
-
2000ft
(0 - 610m) for the US and 0 - 4500 ft
(1370m) for Canada. Conversion kits are
available on installations above these
heights in the USA.
If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
this product could expose you to substances in fuel, or from fuel combustion, which are
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
