QUARTZ TUBE INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• Serious injury or death may occur.
• Disconnect from electrical supply
before installing or servicing this
heater.
•
Reflector end caps must be installed
prior to powering the unit; refer to
note 3.
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.
Each heater is equipped with two hi-temperature
silicone lead wires and a ground termination.
Make
sure 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) lock washer and (1) hex nut
on the threaded stud and
tighten securely
(see
image below). Lock washers and hex nuts are
provided in hardware package.
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.
