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. This installation manual, along with
national, 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)?
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.

Lay all radiant tubing out in the following order. Position tubes in approximate location (see figure 3.2).
• 10 ft. primary combustion chamber.
• 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 a yellow identification label located on the swaged end of the tube (remove label
prior to starting up heater).
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”(0.7 m).
• The space between the first two hangers placed on the first tube, should be approximately
8’-10”(2.7 m).
• The space between hangers thereafter, one per tube, should be approximately 9’-8”(3 m).
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 (P/N: BR-SIGN) where needed.

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 on page 18 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. (0.45 m)
• 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.
• Remove one 36 in. section of baffle. Refer to baffle assembly section on page 22.
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.
5 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.

Reflector Assembly
3.0 Installation • Reflector Assembly
To install the reflectors (see figure 3.14):
1 Attach the reflector center supports onto radiant tubes.
2 Slide each reflector section through the hangers and adjust the reflector tension spring into the
V-groove on the top of the reflector. The reflectors should overlap approximately 4 inches.
3 To prevent the reflectors from shifting, secure the reflector sections together using sheet metal screws,
except at the expansion joint (see page 23). NOTE: Installer to supply sheet metal screws.
4 Attach reflector end caps with polished finish inward, to each end of the reflector run. Secure with clips.
Reflectors, and reflector accessories, direct infrared energy to the floor level. The reflector assembly
depends on the heater configuration, proximity to combustibles and space surrounding the heater.
Before you begin assembly, determine if the use of reflector accessories are necessary (see Chart 3.5).
