6. After the first two tubes are assembled, the heater can be suspended and the rest
of the tubes can be attached one at a time in the air, or they can be completely
assembled on the ground and hoisted into position at one time. The shades can be
installed at this time using the Philips screws provided with the heater. Always
start at the burner box and work in the opposite direction.
NOTE: Wire hangers are available as an optional accessory . These hangers are com
monly used when adequate mounting point distances to match plate hangers dis
tance are unavailable or in some case for extra support.
7. Once all of the tubes have been installed and the shades installed, ensure the plate
hanger brace is inserted in the slot on the first shade end plate hanger and place
the 1/4” hex head screw in the hole on the end of the plate hanger brace. This brace
locks the burner into place when the heater expands and contracts.
8. Next, the turbulator needs to be installed. Consult the typical tube arrangements
on the following pages concerning turbulator placement. The turbulator is always
installed in the last section of tube.
WARNING
Installation of the turbulator is imperative to the warranty of the tubes.
Install the turbulator in the last section of tubes. If installed in the first
section of tube, it will cause tubes to burn out. This will void the war-
ranty. See typical arrangements for turbulator requirements and place-
ment.
9. Install the shade braces per Figure 10 and Figure 11. The shade brace should be
evenly spaced (3 per shade) under the shade and pliers used to bend the tab on
each end of the brace up and over the shade flange on each side of the shade.
ATTENTION: STR 45 INSTALLERS
The STR45 requires a special turbulator that is different than the stan-
dard turbulator used on the STR 60 and 80 and found in most kits.
