Each heater is equipped with hi-temperature lead wires and
one green lead wire for ground termination.
Make sure the
power source conforms to the heater requirements. Use
only Fostoria quartz tubes.
1.
Insert quartz tube in the “L”-shaped slots in heater housing.
2.
On each end of the quartz tube, place (1) lead wire ring
terminal, (1) split washer and (1) hex nut on the threaded
stud and
tighten securely
(see image below). Split
washers and hex nuts are provided in hardware package.
►
All Lead wires are already installed in your heater
with the exception of 480V models. 480V models utilize a
series wire connection with a jumper lead wire located in
the hardware package. Refer to Wiring Diagrams on Page
7.
NOTE – Use a second wrench to hold the inner hex nut
in place while tightening the outer hex nut. Failure to
securely tighten this connection will cause the element to
fail prematurely.

MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
FIRE HAZARD
•
Serious injury or death may occur.
•
Read and follow clearances shown
in box at left for ALL OCH2 series
heater installations.
•
Do not use inside residences.
These heaters
MUST
be installed as follows:
•
30 inches minimum from a vertical surface
•
82 inches minimum from ANY combustible
material
•
6-3/4 inches minimum from the ceiling
•
36 inches minimum from other heaters
NOTE: For optimum spot heating performance, it is recommended that the distance from the floor
should be approximately 7 to 9 feet for OCH2-55 models, and 8 to 10 feet for OCH2-66 models.
Install heater so that the quartz tubes
are horizontal. Failure to do this may
cause the heating element within the
tube to sag and cause premature
burnout.
