6. PRE INSTALLATION SURVEY
Carefully survey the area to be heated. It is recommended that a full heating design including
heat loss calculation be conducted on the structure or area to be heated. Heater sizing, quan-
tity, and placement must consider available mounting height, sources of greatest heat loss.
The certified clearances to combustibles must always be maintained with respect to stored ma-
terial, moveable objects (vehicles, lifts, overhead doors, etc), sprinkler system heads, furniture
and draperies, and other obstructions at the site. Consideration must also be given to vent
placement and the allowable length of vent . (see section 11, page 19)
Installation must conform with all local, state, provincial and national code requirements includ-
ing the current latest edition ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) in the U.S.A. and B149.1 installation code
in Canada, for gas burning appliances and equipment. The latest edition Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A. and PART 1 CSA C22.1 in Canada must also be observed.
The heating system must have gas piping of the correct diameter, length, and arrangement to
provide adequate fuel supply and function properly. A dimensioned layout drawing is advised.
7. MOUNTING CLEARANCES
This heater must be mounted with at least the minimum clearances between the heater and
combustibles as shown in FIG-1, TABLE 1, Pages 8 & 9. It is the installer’s responsibility to
ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower
temperatures are protected to prevent degradation. Examples of low heat tolerance ma-
terials include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics, filmy materials, some coatings and
laminated finishes, etc.
Ensure adequate clearance around the air intake at the burner to allow sufficient com-
bustion air supply to the heater.
Proximity of lights, sprinkler heads, overhead doors, storage areas, gas and electrical lines,
parked vehicles, cranes and any other possible obstruction or hazard must be evaluated.
Place the heater so as not to cause a hazard to a wall, floor, shelving, curtains, furniture, or
door when open, or impede the free movement of people.
It is recommended that Protective Guard JS-0502-UR-GK be installed on any heater mounted
with less than 8 feet from floor to bottom of heater (See Accessories - Page 41).

- SPACE HEATING APPLICATIONS
*SUGGESTED GUIDELINE MOUNTING HEIGHTS are typical to provide optimum comfort in
general space heating applications. Variance from these typical heights can occur in some
applications:
 Higher mounting height due to structure or application requirements
 For ‘area’ or ‘spot’ heat, or in areas with greater infiltration rates (near overhead doors,
etc) where more intense heat is needed to provide better comfort then lower mounting
heights are recommended (minimum 8 ft [2.4 m] mounting height)
 It is recommended that Protective Guard JS-0502-UR-GK be installed on any heater
mounted with less than 8 feet from floor to bottom of heater (See Accessories - Page 41)

10.HEATER INSTALLATION
Inadequate or improper suspension of the tube heater can result in collapse of
the system, property damage, and personal injury or death. Suspend the heater
from a structural member that can adequately support the weight of the heater.
Always maintain the required minimum clearances to combustible materials and
vehicles (see pages 7 to 10).
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the hardware and structural supports from which
the heater is suspended are sound and of adequate strength to support the weight [86 lb (39
kg)] and expansion forces of the heater.
USE CARE & CAUTION WHEN LIFTING HEATER FROM CARTON
1. DO NOT LIFT THE HEATER BY THE REFLECTOR
2. AT LEAST 2 PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO LIFT AND
INSTALL THIS HEATER
3. CHAINS ARE PROVIDED TO LIFT HEATER FROM CAR-
TON AND FOR HANDLING PURPOSES
4. WHEN HANDLING HEATER FROM BENEATH -
HANDLE BY TUBE NOT REFLECTOR
5. LIFT BOTH ENDS FROM CARTON AT THE SAME
TIME TO KEEP THE HEATER HORIZONTAL /
LEVEL ALONG ITS LENGTH WHILE HAN-
DLING AND INSTALLING
6. LIFT SAFELY - LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS
AND KEEP BACK STRAIGHT - DO NOT
BEND OR TWIST.
7. BEWARE - SHARP EDGES!
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND
CLOTHING WHEN HANDLING
IMPORTANT: FIRST READ: Review the information on pages 4 to 10 and ensure that in-
stallation adheres to the instructions in this manual, and all national and local codes.
Refer to pages that follow for illustrations and dimensions that assist in installation.
1. Survey the available structural support, considering the system configuration and heat re-
quirements of the area to establish the optimum heater location.
2. The heater can be mounted with the tube/reflector in a horizontal position, or at 30°. Locat-
ing a heater directly under joists or beams, and/or installing supplemental support such as
angle iron can ensure the integrity of the installation.
3. Hardware with a minimum 100 lb. (30 kg) work load must be used at each heater suspen-
sion point. A #2 Lion Chain or equivalent is typically used to suspend the heater.
b) If rigid hardware such as 3/8” threaded rod is used for suspension, swing joints or other
means must be provided to allow for system expansion - approximately ½ inch
4. The heater must be supported at all four mounting tabs on the hangers that are located
72 inches (183 cm) apart .

5. Install the structural fastening hardware and any suspension hardware (chain, etc) prior to
removing heater from the carton. Ensure that the support hardware system is firmly fas-
tened to a structural member(s) of sufficient strength and integrity to support the weight of
the heater.
6. The heater comes fully assembled from the factory. For locations where there is con-
strained access for installation, removal of the burner assembly may assist in the installa-
tion of the tube/reflector assembly. Disconnect the spark wire from the igniter and remove
the four nuts that fasten the burner to the tube flange. Re-install the burner after the tube
system is installed. If the tube/reflector system is to be oriented up to a 30° mounting angle
(see below), the burner must be adjusted to a horizontal operating position.
Up to 30° Angle Mounting:
7. The tube/reflector system can be oriented on the short axis from horizontal to an angle up
to 30 degrees. When angle mounted the vent side of tube must always be higher than the
burner side. The tube/reflector system must be level along its length
8. When the tube/reflector is suspended at an angle up to 30°, the burner mounting flange has
a slot pattern that allows adjustment (rotation) of the burner to a horizontal position for
proper operation (see Figure 4 below, and Figure 6 next page).
 Install the tube/reflector system as above, with tube/reflector assembly angled up to 30°
 Loosen the 4 nuts (2 or 3 turns) until burner studs can rotate in the flange slots
 Ensure that the gasket between burner and flange rotates with the burner
 Tighten the 4 nuts to secure the burner in the horizontal position
9. For seismic and high wind restraint see Sections 10-A & 10-B, page 18.

10-A SEISMIC RESTRAINT - LATERAL AND LONGITUDINAL PLANES
In areas prone to earthquake, or as specified on a project, install lateral and longitudinal seis-
mic restraints as indicated in Figure 11. If the heater location can be impacted by wind (near
overhead doors, aircraft hangars, etc) refer to High Wind Restraint section 10-B below.
These instructions indicate attachment of suspension and restraint hardware to the heater. The
attachment of suspension hardware to the structure will be as required by site structural condi-
tions, installation codes, and/or local engineering specifications. Other types or systems of re-
straint that are specified by local or national codes, or by project engineering design specifica-
tions may be used .
Schwank / InfraSave offers optional items: #2 Lion Chain 115 lb work load x 200 ft roll (PN: JL-
0800-XX); and Safety Snap Hooks (PN: JL-0800-SH = pkg 24; JL-0800-SH-B = pkg 100).
All other required seismic mounting hardware is field supplied by the installer.
10-B HIGH WIND RESTRAINT - LONGITUDINAL, LATERAL, AND VERTICAL PLANES
In areas with wind conditions that can impact the heater (outdoor, aircraft hangers, etc): in ad-
dition to lateral and longi-
tudinal restraint the
heater must be re-
strained from vertical
movement.
Suspend the heater
using 3/8” threaded
rod with 3” adjust-
ment turnbuckle at
each hanger location
to restrain up-and-
down movement.
Install angled chains
for lateral and longi-
tudinal restraint.

WARNING
11. FLUE VENTING
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide
poisoning, injury or death. This heater must be connected to a vent to remove
products of combustion from the space. Seal all vent connections with high
temperature sealant. Venting must be in accordance with all local, state, provin-
cial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada)
and as indicated below in this manual.
THIS HEATER MUST BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE. THE SYSTEM MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITHIN A
NEGATIVE AIR CONDITION. ENSURE ADEQUATE AIR SUPPLY TO THE SPACE TO ENSURE THERE IS NO NEGATIVE
AIR CONDITION (NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN THE SPACE BEING HEATED).
THIS GAS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO ACHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ASEPARATE SOLID-FUEL BURN-
ING APPLIANCE.
GENERAL FLUE VENTING REQUIREMENTS
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to adhere to all current local codes and/or ANSI
Z223.1 / CSA.B149.1 latest editions for all venting requirements, and practices.
It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a tube heater will expand and con-
tract. Allowances for heater expansion must be made in the venting. Improper installation can
result in property damage, injury or death.
 This heater has a positive vent pressure
 A vent termination cap is supplied with the heater for use with horizontal side wall vent
 All vent pipe and adapters must be listed and will be supplied locally by others
 Vent pipe must be minimum 26 gauge single wall type “C” vent pipe of 4” (10 cm) diameter
except that portion of vent passing through the wall or roof shall be 4” type “B” vent
 A minimum 12 inch (30 cm) length of minimum 26 gauge single walled 4” (10 cm) diameter
“C” vent pipe is to be installed on the swaged end of the tube before any vent elbow is fitted.
 Seal all vent connections with high temperature sealant. Vent connections must be secured
with three (3) #8 sheet metal screws uniformly spaced around the circumference of the vent
pipe.
 When the vent pipe passes through a cold or unheated area where the ambient temperature
is likely to produce condensation of the flue gases, the vent pipe will be insulated with a suit-
able material as approved and specified by the insulation manufacturer to withstand tem-
perature up to 460°F (238°C).
 The vent system must always be adequately supported to prevent sagging.
 Refer to next pages for minimum and maximum vent length requirements:
 Horizontal side wall vent: Pages 20 - 21
 Vertical roof vent: Page 23
