Welcome to the new AB-2 Reznor gas fired air
curtain models. Local regulations may vary in the
country of use and it is the installers responsibility
to ensure that such regulations are satisfied.
All installation, assembly, commissioning and
service procedures must be carried out by suitably
qualified competent persons to the statutory
regulations in the country of use.
These instructions refer to products for use in GB
and the IE.
These air curtains are suitable for indoor use
only, and designed to operate at an ambient
temperature between –15°C and 30°C.
When installing, commissioning and servicing is
undertaken on the gas fired air curtains specified
in these instructions, due care and attention
is required to ensure that working at height
regulations are adhered to at the mounting
heights specified.
All dimensions shown are in mm unless otherwise
stated.
The manufacturer reserves the right to alter
specifications without prior notice.
PLEASE READ this document prior
to installation to familiarise yourself
with the components and tools you
require at the various stages.
The primary reason for installing gas fired air
curtains is to prevent the influx of cold outside air
through a door opening into a heated area.
Typical applications include large despatch bay
doors in factories and warehouses, and internal
doors between areas of different temperatures.
Wider door openings can be accommodated by
bolting two or more units together.
Air curtains control the internal climate by
emitting an air stream with enough velocity to
meet the floor so creating an air barrier in the
door area. To prevent the ingress of outside
draughts, the discharge louvre is angled outwards,
so that the air leaving the building meets the wind
trying to enter, thus deflecting it. (See diagrams
below).
Reznor gas fired air curtains provide uniform air
distribution across the full width of the door,
keeping heated or conditioned air inside the
building and stopping the ingress of cold air,
draughts, and dust.
This manual provides detailed information on
the installation of Reznor gas fired air curtains.
It is essential that these products are installed in
accordance with these manufacturers instructions.

Installation Details
Health and safety
Reznor air curtains must be installed in accordance
with the relevant provisions of the Gas Safety
(Installations and Use) Regulations 1998. Due
account should also be taken of any obligations
arising from the Health and Safety at Work Act
1974 or relevant codes of practice. In addition
the installation must be carried out in accordance
with the current IEE wiring regulations (BS 7671),
BS 6896 (Industrial & Commercial) and any other
relevant British Standards and Codes of Practice
by a qualified installer. Isolate all electrical supplies
to the heater & control panel before proceeding.
For your own safety we recommend the use of
personal protective equipment when handling this
air curtain.
Check the supporting structure to verify that it
has sufficient load-carrying capacity to support
the unit weight. Suspend the heater only from
the threaded nut retainers or with a manufacturer
provided kit.
DO NOT suspend from the heater cabinet panels.
Do not place or add additional weight to the
suspended heater.
Mounting
Reznor gas fired air curtains are supplied with
mounting brackets pre-fitted, either as single
units, or in multiples, which can be bolted
together to suit various door widths.
The minimum mounting height is 1.8 metres
Suspension by means of threaded rods
De gas-fired air curtains can standard be
suspended using threaded rods M10 and lock
nuts.
Ensure that the structural elements which will be
used to suspend the appliance are adequate to
carry the weight of the appliance.
Leave the unit on the pallet. If the bottom of the
unit is not supported or protected damage can
occur.
The heater is supplied with 8 suspension points.
All points must be used.
Ensure that threaded rods are lock nut secured to
ensure against loosening.
Use a lock nut being carefully tightened in order
not to damage the screw thread.
Gap to be kept to a minimum
Bottom of air curtain
to be level with top of
door opening (1.8m
minimum)
Each unit is fitted with 8 suspensionpoints - all
points must be used! Add a nut to lock the
hanger rod to the heater

Installation Details (Cont)...
It may be necessary to adjust the position of the
air outlet louvres to provide the correct airflow
across the door opening. This can be done by first
loosening the locking pins (figure 5), The louvres
can now be moved to the desired position and
the locking pins re-tightened.
Note: The AB 225-2 model has two pairs of
lock nuts, whereas the AB 175-2 model only
has one pair.
Suspension by means of fixing
brackets (option).
The use of fixing brackets to suspend the air
curtain is optional (to be specified on order form).
See figure 6.
By using suitable steelwork the air curtains can be
fixed to the building structure.
Multiple air curtains
Multiple air curtains must be fixed to the building
structure by means of threaded rods as described
in section ‘Suspension by means of threaded
rods’.
The use of fixing brackets to install the air curtains
if optional (see section ‘Suspension by means of
threaded brackets (option)’.
Make sure that the multiple air curtains are level
and in the same plane in order to avoid bending
of the system.
Then, the air curtains must be fixed together by
means of four M6 bolts, nuts and washers in the
hereto provided holes in the side of the unit.

Flueing
The gas fired air curtain must be installed with
a fixed flue. The fan is fitted with a 130mm
diameter female outlet. (Flue and fittings can be
supplied by the manufacturer).
The flue pipe should be adequately supported at
regular intervals from the building structure and
terminated externally with a British Gas tested
and certified GC1 terminal.
The maximum flue length is 7m and the
maximum number of bends is two on individually
flued appliances. The flue may be installed
vertically or horizontally, noting that horizontal
flues MUST be terminated vertically. (See figures
8 & 9).

ventilation is required. For detailed information
please see BS6230 section 5.2.2.2.1.1.
Mechanical ventilation
Should be installed to meet a minimum of 0.5 air
changes per hour using appropriately sized fans
interlocked with the heaters.
Natural ventilation
Low level ventilation openings with a free area of
at least 2cm2/kW shall be provided. See section
5.2.2.2.1.2.

Before fitting a horizontal flue, it will be necessary
to rotate the I/D fan through 90º on it`s mounting
bracket to enable the flue to be routed to the rear
of the air curtain as shown in figure 9.
Removal and refitting of the I/D fan is described on
page 19 of this manual, parts replacement.
Note 1: The maximum permissible horizontal flue
length should be calculated using the formula for
equivalent flue sizes shown on the previous page.
Note 2: When the horizontal flue is to pass
through a wall constructed of combustible
material, a suitable approved fireproof sleeve
should be fitted prior to installing the flue pipe.
