10. HEATER INSTALLATION
Inadequate or improper suspension of the tube heater can result in collapse of
the system, property damage, and personal injury or death. Suspend the heater
from a structural member that can adequately support the weight of the heater.
Always maintain the required minimum clearances to combustible materials and
vehicles (see pages 7 to 10).
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the hardware and structural supports from which
the heater is suspended are sound and of adequate strength to support the weight [86 lb (39
kg)] and expansion forces of the heater.
USE CARE & CAUTION WHEN LIFTING HEATER FROM CARTON
1. DO NOT LIFT THE HEATER BY THE REFLECTOR
2. AT LEAST 2 PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO LIFT AND
INSTALL THIS HEATER
3. CHAINS ARE PROVIDED TO LIFT HEATER FROM CAR-
TON AND FOR HANDLING PURPOSES
4. WHEN HANDLING HEATER FROM BENEATH -
HANDLE BY TUBE NOT REFLECTOR
5. LIFT BOTH ENDS FROM CARTON AT THE SAME
TIME TO KEEP THE HEATER HORIZONTAL /
LEVEL ALONG ITS LENGTH WHILE HAN-
DLING AND INSTALLING
6. LIFT SAFELY - LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS
AND KEEP BACK STRAIGHT - DO NOT

CLOTHING WHEN HANDLING
IMPORTANT: FIRST READ: Review the information on pages 4 to 10 and ensure that in-
stallation adheres to the instructions in this manual, and all national and local codes.
Refer to pages that follow for illustrations and dimensions that assist in installation.
1. Survey the available structural support, considering the system configuration and heat re-
quirements of the area to establish the optimum heater location.
2. The heater can be mounted with the tube/reflector in a horizontal position, or at 30°. Locat-
ing a heater directly under joists or beams, and/or installing supplemental support such as
angle iron can ensure the integrity of the installation.
3. Hardware with a minimum 100 lb. (30 kg) work load must be used at each heater suspen-
sion point. A #2 Lion Chain or equivalent is typically used to suspend the heater.
b) If rigid hardware such as 3/8” threaded rod is used for suspension, swing joints or other
means must be provided to allow for system expansion - approximately ½ inch
4. The heater must be supported at all four mounting tabs on the hangers that are located
72 inches (183 cm) apart .
