Part 1
- Radiant Line System
For the purpose of this section the term “Radiant Line System” will refer only to the main heat exchanging
components: Tubes, Burners, Reflectors, Tailpipes and attached Optional pieces. These must be hung from
ceiling supports and form the main Radiant Lines & Branches of the Heat Exchanger System.
Installation of the Radiant Line System has been divided into 6 main parts as follows:
Radiant Line Tubes
Tailpipe Tubes
Burners
Reflectors
Option Shield Equipment
Deco-Grille Option
The order they are listed in is recommended for ease of installation and allows for adjustments to be made
easily if required. Other orders of installation are possible; please note that there are certain components which,
once installed, will make it more difficult to install others. Thoroughly read through the following installation
directions for details on individual components.
Figure 9 illustrates the relationship of many of the various components of the Radiant Line System and will be a
useful reference at many times during the installation.
NOTE: The Premier VS System does not typically require the use of Baffles, if Baffles are desired please
consult with the Manufacturer (SRP) prior to installation.

- Radiant Line Tubes
1.
Locate hanging chain at predetermined points in the structure using methods as shown in Figure 10. The
first 2 hanging points are approximately 7.5 ft (2.3 m) apart to fully support each end of the first Tube.
Thereafter spacing of 10 ft (3 m) is acceptable, i.e. one hanging point per Tube. Ensure that Reflector
Hangers located on a Combustion Tube will be within 8” (20 cm) of the Burner. Ensure that the mounting
height allows a downward slope of ¼” per 10 ft (7 mm per 3 m) towards the Vacuum Pump location.
Welded link chain with a working load limit of at least 500 lbs. (230 kg) is
recommended. The suspension mechanism must allow for lateral expansion of
the Tubing. A minimum length of 12” (30 cm) of hanging chain is
recommended. Using turnbuckles between the chain and the Reflector Hanger
allows for easy height adjustment later.
All Combustion Tubes are heat-treated aluminized steel tubes. On Burners that are to be fired at
150,000 BTU/hr or more, the next 10 ft (3 m) Tube section is to be heat-treated aluminized as
well. The remaining Radiant Tube length can be either hot rolled or heat-treated aluminized
depending on the system design.
