6. SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The system configuration and available support locations must be considered in order to locate
the radiant tubes correctly. Labour and material can be reduced by locating (system configura-
tion 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 FIG: 4 (Below). To support burner and keep it level, a separate suspension chain
must be attached to the eye hook at the flange-end of the burner and angled slightly back over
burner. SEE FIG: 3 (Below). This will permit normal expansion and contraction of the tube sys-
tem (If rigid devices such as rods are used in place of chain, then swing joints or other means
of sufficient length must be provided to compensate for expansion).
