6. SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The system configuration and available support locations must be considered in order to lo-
cate the radiant tubes correctly. Labour and material can be reduced by locating (system con-
figuration permitting) directly under structural members such as joists, steel or wood beams,
etc.
Chain is recommended for hanging the tube system, connecting the hangers to beam support
as illustrated in FIGURE 2 (below). To support burner and keep it level, a separate suspension
chain must be attached to the eye hook at flange end of burner angled slightly back over burner,
FIGURE 3 (below). This will permit normal expansion and contraction of the tube system. (If
rigid devices such as rods are used in place of chain, swing joints or other means of sufficient
length must be provided to compensate for expansion.)
