!
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property
damage, serious injury or death. Read and understand, the installation, operating and
maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment. Only
trained, qualified gas installation and service personnel may install or service this equipment.
Not for residential use! Do not use this heater in the home, sleeping quarters, attached
garages, etc. Installation of a commercial tube heater system in residential indoor spaces
may result in property damage, serious injury or death.
Combustion Air
The combustion air intake collar is also a factory preset air orifice. Non-contaminated air for combustion
must be ducted to the heater in all agricultural applications. Do not take combustion air from pressurized
attic spaces, with the exception of broiler houses.
Locate the air intake away from any steam source. Use caution when locating air intake above curtain
walls, as they can leak. When curtain walls are present, use 4-inch light gauge PVC air intake material
from curtain sidewall to the heater; do not exceed 25 feet. With an elbow, drop intake one foot below the
top of the curtain wall. Cap intake with a 1/4-inch birdscreen. Figure 2.1.
