Clearance to Combustibles
WARNING
!
Placement of explosive objects, flammable objects, liquids and vapors
close to the heater may result in explosion, fire, property damage, serious
injury or death. Do not store or use explosive objects, liquids and vapor in
the vicinity the heater.
• Paint
• Parked vehicles
• Gasoline
• Storage racks
Combustible items: Moving Objects:
• Wood • Overhead doors
• Paper • Vehicle lifts
• Fabric • Cranes
• Chemicals • Hoists
When installing the tube heating system, the minimum clearances to combustibles for your Series tube
heater and system configuration must be maintained. These distances are shown in your Series Insert
Manual and on the burner control box. If you are unsure of the potential hazards, consult your local fire
Marshall, fire insurance carrier or other qualified authorities on the installation of gas fired tube heaters for
approval of the proposed installation.
A critical safety factor to consider before installation is the clearances to combustibles. Clearance to
combustibles is defined as the minimum distance you must have between the tube surface, or reflector,
and the combustible item . Considerations must also be made for moving objects around the tube heater.
The following is a partial list of items to maintain clearances from:
• Vehicle parking areas
• Vehicles with lifts or cranes
• Storage areas with stacked materials
• Lights
• Sprinkler heads
• Overhead doors and tracks
• Dirty, contaminated environment
• Gas and electrical lines
• Combustible and explosive materials
• Chemical storage areas
• Areas of high chemical fume concentrations
• Provisions for accessibility to the heater
• Adequate clearances around air openings
• Combustion and ventilating air supply
Hazards:
For maximum safety the building must be evaluated for hazards before installing the heating system.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
Safety Signs and Labels
It is important to provide warnings to alert individuals to potential hazards and safety actions. ANSI
Z83.20b and CSA 2.34 require you to post a sign “specifying the maximum permissible stacking height to
maintain the required clearances from the heater to the combustibles” near the heaters thermostat or in
absence of such thermostats in a conspicuous location. Contact Detroit Radiant Products Co. or an
authorized dealer for Clearance Safety Limit Signs or for Clearance Safety Limit Tags (one tag is provided
with each heater).
Safety warning labels must be maintained on the tube heater. Illustrations of the safety labels, and their
locations, are pictured in the Series Insert Manual. In locations used for the storage of combustible
materials, signs must be posted to specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the
required clearances from the heater to combustibles. Signs must either be posted adjacent to the heater
thermostats or in the absence of such thermostats in a conspicuous location.

3.0 Installation
WARNING
!
!
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, serious injury or death.
Read and understand, the installation, operating and maintenance instructions
thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
Only trained, qualified gas installation and service personnel may install or service
this equipment.
Design Considerations and Prechecks
Placement of infrared heaters is influenced by many factors. Aside from safety factors, considerations
such as the number of heater or vent elbows that are allowed, maximum vent lengths, ducting of
combustion air and combining exhaust vents are a few examples. All installation manuals, along with
national, state, provincial and local codes, address these issues. It is critical that you read, understand
and follow all guidelines and instructions.
To ensure a properly designed heating system, a layout should be developed for the correct placement of
the burner control box, tubes, vents and combustion air intake ducts. Inspect and evaluate the mounting
conditions, vent locations, gas supply and wiring.
When designing an infrared radiant heating system, consider the following:
• Has the building’s heat loss been evaluated?
• Does the design meet the needs of the space?
• Have recommended mounting heights been observed?
• Have all clearance to combustibles situations been observed?
• Is the supply (burner) end of the heater located where more heat is required?
• Is it best to offset the heaters and/or rotate the reflectors towards the heat zone?
• Are extra guards, side shields, ‘U’ or ‘L’ reflector covers required?
• Does the heater require outside fresh air for combustion?
• Is the environment harsh or contaminated (requiring outside air for combustion)?
• Are chemicals or vapors a concern (requiring outside air for combustion or additional ventilation)?
The effective infrared surface temperature of a person or object may be diminished with wind above 5
mph. The use of adequate wind barrier(s) may be required.
IMPORTANT: Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater. This
distance may exceed the published clearance to combustibles as posted on the heater. Certain
applications may require the use of high temperature sprinkler heads or the relocation of the heaters.
Sprinkler systems containing propylene glycol or other flammable substances are not to be used in
conjunction with this heater without careful consideration for and avoidance of potential fire hazards. For
further information, consult NFPA 13.

• Produces an uneven heat distribution.
• Four burners (100,000 BTU each) are placed in each corner. Burner (hotter) ends direct heat to areas of
highest heat demand.
• Recommended mounting heights have been observed.
• Distributes heat more evenly.

Poor Design
Good Design
When heated, materials high in hydrocarbons (solvents, paint thinner, mineral spirits, formaldehydes, etc.)
can evaporate. This may result in odors or fumes being emitted into the environment. To correct this
problem, clean the area and/or introduce additional ventilation. The heaters themselves, when installed
and serviced in accordance with the installation manual, do not emit foul odors into the environment.
Better Heat Distribution
3.0 Installation • Design Considerations and Prechecks

13
DX2 Series
Factory recommended mounting heights are listed as a guideline. If infrared heaters are mounted too low
or too high, they may result in discomfort or lack of heat. Detroit Radiant Products Company generally
recommends observing the recommended mounting heights to optimize comfort conditions. However,
certain applications such as spot heating, freeze protection, outdoor patio heating or very high ceilings
may result in the heaters being mounted outside of the factory recommended mounting heights.

WARNING
!
Suspension of the heater must conform to applicable codes referenced in the Safety section and
these instructions.
Lay all radiant tubing out in the following order. Position tubes in approximate location (see figure 3.4).
• 10 ft. primary combustion chamber.
• If applicable, the secondary 10 ft. aluminized treated steel combustion chamber (150-200 MBH
models only). Refer to the Specifications Chart in the Series Insert Manual to determine if a second
combustion chamber is required for your model heater.
• Radiant emitter tubes.
Important! 150,000-200,000 BTU/h models must use the 10 ft. titanium alloy treated combustion
chamber as the first tube downstream of the burner control box. The combustion chamber has
an orange identification sticker located on the swaged end of the tube.
Stainless Steel Heaters must use the 409 Series stainless steel combustion chamber as the
first tube downstream of the burner control box.
2 Mark locations for hanging points.
NOTE: If the available hanging points do not allow for the recommended spacing then additional
hangers (P/N: TP-19B) may be necessary.
• The spacing between the burner control box mounting brackets and the first hanger should be
approximately 2’-4”.
• The space between the first two hangers placed on the first tube, should be approximately 8’-10”.
• The space between hangers thereafter, one per tube, should be approximately 9’-8”.
Hanger Placement and Suspension
Improper suspension of the tube heater may result in collapse and being crushed. Always
suspend from a permanent part of the building structure that can evenly support the total
force and weight of the heater.
Failure to maintain minimum clearance to combustibles may result in fire and/or explosion,
property damage, serious injury or death. Always maintain minimum clearances and post
clearance safety limit signs or the clearance safety tag where needed.

3 Prepare mounting surface, if necessary weld blocks, drill holes (see figure 3.5).
NOTE: The burner control box and radiant tubes should be in straight alignment and level.
4 Fasten beam clamp, screw hook or other type of suspension anchor to hanging point.
Attach and close S-hook (P/N: S-HOOK) and #1 double-loop chain (P/N: THCS) to anchor. Check
that it is securely attached. NOTE: Threaded rod and turnbuckles may be used.
6 Attach hangers to chains. Adjust chain lengths until radiant tubing is level and equal weight distribution
is achieved. Chains must be straight up and down. Do not install chains at an angle as this can result
in tube warping or separation.

Radiant Tube Assembly
To install the radiant tubes:
Place tubes in hangers with the welded seam facing downward and the swaged end of the tube
towards the exhaust end of the heater system (see figure 3.8).
Refer to the Series Insert Manual for tube installation sequence.
2 Slide tube clamps onto radiant tubes (see figure 3.9).

IMPORTANT! 175,000 to 200,000 BTU/h models must be
installed with a stainless steel tube clamp (P/N: TP-220) located at
the seam between the primary combustion chamber and the
second tube section downstream of the burner control box.
NOTE: If the tube clamp comes
apart, the spacer must be
re-assembled with the spacer’s
concave surface facing against
the radiant tube surface.

Optional Elbow or U-Bend Accessory Configuration
A 90 degree elbow or 180 degree U-bend accessory fitting may be installed in the radiant tube heating
system. Refer to Chart 3.3 for minimum distance requirements from the burner control box.
When installing an Elbow or U-Bend Accessory Fitting:
• The top clearance of an uncovered (no reflector) elbow or U-bend accessory fitting to combustibles
is 18 in.
• If operating the heater unvented, separate the intake air to the heater from its exhaust products a
minimum of 4 ft., further separation may be necessary. Combustion air may also be supplied.
• A maximum of two 90° elbows or one 180° U-bend can be installed on a heater.
• Omit one 36 in. section of turbulator baffle. Refer to Baffle Assembly section.
3 Slip-fit the radiant tube sections together until tightly connected (install the swaged end of each tube
towards exhaust end). NOTE: If it is difficult to mate the tubes, they may be installed incorrectly.
4 Center tube clamps over the seam where two radiant tube sections connect. If necessary, rotate tube
clamps so they will not interfere with the reflector end caps during expansion and contraction of
the heater.
Tighten tube clamp bolts to secure. When proper compression is obtained (40-60 ft-lbs. torque) the
tube seam will create a visible mark on the tube clamp. NOTE: Excessive torque may damage the
tube clamp.
6 Determine the location of the burner control box and note the placement of the mounting chains.
Figure 3.10 • Tube Connections
Tubes fit snuggly together and the
tube clamp is centered over the seam.
Tubes are not fit snuggly
together and the tube clamp is
not centered over the seam.
The tube clamp is tight when the
torque is achieved (normally
when seam becomes visible).
