Heater Expansion
It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a tube
heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion
must be made in the gas connection, venting and combustion air
ducting. Improper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in
property damage, injury or death. Refer to Section 13
WARNING
Venting
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon
monoxide poisoning, injury or death. This heater may be directly or
indirectly vented from the space. Venting must be in accordance with
all local, state, provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in this manual. Refer to Sections 11 & 12
Gas Connection
Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in property
damage, toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury or death. Using an ap-
proved flexible gas connector in the USA or Type 1 hose connector in
Canada, the gas supply to the heater must be connected and tested
in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in
USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in this manual. Refer to Section 13
WARNING
WARNING Start-Up ‘SMOKE’ Condition
During start up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of tubes and
reflectors will create smoke during the initial period of operation. This condition is normal and
temporary .
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to adequately clear any smoke from the space.
Notify site and safety personnel to ensure that alarm systems are not unduly activated.
IMPORTANT THERMOSTAT SETTING FOR COMFORT
Infrared radiant (IR) heating system provide comfort with the effect of radiant heat and ambient
air heat.
If your IR system is controlled with a ThermoControl Plus controller that senses radiant heat, then
set the thermostat to the desired comfort temperature (ie: 65°; 68°; 20°C).
If your IR system is controlled with a standard 24V or 120V thermostat that senses only air tem-
perature, then start with a thermostat setting that is 5° to 7°F (3° to 5°C) lower than the desired
comfort temperature. Some trial and error setting may be required to ‘fine tune’ the comfort tem-
perature that best suits your site and provides most economical operation.
Unoccupied (night) set-back of 9°F (5°C) is recommended. Do not turn system ‘Off’.

Clearance to combustibles
Location of flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors close to the heater may cause fire
or explosion and result in property damage, injury or death. Do not use, store or locate flamma-
ble or explosive objects, liquids or vapors in proximity of the heater.
The clearance to combustible material represents the minimum dis-
tance that must be maintained between the outer heater surface and
a nearby surface. The stated clearance to combustibles represents a
surface temperature of 90F° (50C°) above room temperature. It is the
installer’s responsibility to ensure that building materials with a low
heat tolerance which may degrade at lower temperatures are pro-
tected to prevent degradation. Examples of low heat tolerance mate-
rials include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics, filmy materials, etc.
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
the combustibles. Such signs must either be posted adjacent to the heater thermostats or in
the absence of such thermostats in a conspicuous location. In addition to stored or stationary
material, consideration must also be given to moveable objects such as cranes, vehicles, and
overhead doors, and structural objects such as sprinkler heads, electrical and gas lines, and
electrical fixtures.
It is beyond the scope of these instructions to consider all conditions that may be encountered.
Consult local authorities such as the Fire Marshall, insurance carrier, or safety authorities if you
are uncertain as to the safety or applicability of the proposed installation.
Refer to Figure 1 and Table 1 for the certified clearances to combustibles for the appro-
priate model input/size.
WARNING
WARNING Tube “GLOW”
It is a normal condition that the combustion tube (1st tube) can appear to “glow red”. For inputs
up to 150,000 Btuh, the top surface of the tube can appear red where heat is trapped between
the reflector and the tube. The stainless steel tube used for inputs 175,000 and greater can ap-
pear to entirely glow red. The tube material is designed into the heater because it can with-
stand the high temperature of combustion, and the “red glow” is a normal occurrence.

WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, injury or death. Read and understand this installation and
operation manual thoroughly prior to assembly, installation, operation or service to
this appliance.
This heater must be installed and serviced only by a trained gas service technician.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other gas fired appliance.
Failure to comply could result in personal injury, death, fire and/or property damage.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other gas fired appliance.
5. PRE INSTALLATION SURVEY
It is recommended that a full heating design including heat loss calculation be conducted on
the structure or area to be heated. Heater sizing and placement must consider available
mounting height, sources of greatest heat loss, and the certified clearances to combustibles
with respect to stored material, moveable objects (cranes, vehicles, lifts, overhead doors, etc),
sprinkler system heads, and other obstructions on the site. Consideration must also be given to
vent / duct placement and the allowable combined lengths of vent and duct. Carefully survey
the area to be heated, and for best results place burner and combustion chamber in the coldest
area(s) .
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
function properly. For this reason, a layout drawing is necessary.

6. 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, Page 7. 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 materials include vinyl sid-
ing, fabrics, some plastics, filmy materials, etc.
Positioning 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 prior
to installation.
Ensure adequate clearance around the air intake at the burner to allow sufficient com-
bustion air supply to the heater.
6A. SERVICE CLEARANCE: The lower ‘jaw’ of the burner cabinet swings down to provide
convenient service access to burner components. Provide a minimum clearance from any wall
or obstruction of 6 inches (15 cm) to the access end of the burner housing, and a minimum of
24 inches (61 cm) to any ONE side to allow servicing of burner, blower and controls. (see Fig-
ure 2) - the minimum clearances to combustibles must always be maintained.
For guidelines to heater placement refer to TABLE 2 (below).

*RECOMMENDED MOUNTING HEIGHTS are typical to provide optimum comfort in general
space heating applications. Variance to these typical heights can occur in some applications:
 Higher mounting heights due to structure or application requirements
 Lower mounting heights for area or ‘spot’ heat, or in areas with greater infiltration losses
(near overhead doors, etc)
IMPORTANT: Single or multiple heater placement must be such that continu-
ous operation of heater(s) will not cause combustible material or materials in
storage to reach a temperature in excess of ambient temperature plus 90F°
(50C°).
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that building materials with a
low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower temperatures are pro-
tected to prevent degradation. Examples of low heat tolerance materials
include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics, filmy materials, etc.

FIGURE 3 SYSTEM ELBOW KIT - see page 50 for 180° elbow dimensions
90° elbows (JS-0528-SM) are shipped as a kit with one coupler, and two reflector end caps.
The SET / ITT is available in a “U-Tube” model - SETU / ITTU - using a 180° turn box. A double
wide reflector covers the double tube run. Alternately, for a 180° elbow, order 2 x 90° kits that
connect to create a 180°.
IMPORTANT: Models with input 100/70 Mbh x 20 ft (30 kW x 6 m) must only be installed as a
straight system with no elbows allowed at the 10 ft (3 m) location.
Elbow Location / Input: A minimum run of straight radiant tube must be con-
nected to the burner before any elbow as follows: Inputs 200 (60 kW) and 175
Mbh (50 kW) = 25 ft (7.6 m); Input 155 Mbh (45 kW) = 20 ft (6 m); Inputs 130

8. SUSPENDING THE SYSTEM - GENERAL
Inadequate or improper suspension of the tube heater can result in collapse of
the system, property damage, and personal injury or death.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the hardware and structural sup-
ports from which the heater is suspended are sound and of adequate strength
to support the weight and expansion forces of the heater.
Consider that the heater will expand in length as much as 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) or more for every
10 ft (3 m) of system length – typically the greater the firing rate, the greater the expansion.
Refer to Sections 13 & 14
1) Survey the available structural supports, considering the system configuration and heat re-
quirements of the area to establish the optimum heater location.
a) Locating a heater directly under joists or beams, or installing supplemental steel support
rail or angle iron can substantially reduce labor and materials
2) Hardware with a minimum 60 lb. (30 kg) work load must be used at each heater suspension
point. A #8 Jack Chain or equivalent is typically used for suspending the heater.
a) Connect to the structure using typical hardware as illustrated in FIGURE 6 (below) or by
other mechanically sound means
b) If rigid devices such as 3/8” threaded rods are used for suspension, swing joints or other
means must be provided to allow for system expansion - approximately ½ inch to 1 inch
for every 10 ft (1 cm to 2.5 cm for every 3 m) of system length.
3) Tube system hangers must be located:
i: Straight in line
ii: At a common height (level)
NOTE: It is important that the
tubes in the system are in-
stalled in alignment horizon-
tally (level) and vertically (in
line) – this will ensure system
integrity

bel to ensure the correct tube is located at the vent end
NOTE: INSTALL THE FIRST AND SECOND TUBES (FROM BURNER) WITH THE WELDED SEAM
ALONG THE TUBE LENGTH FACING DOWNWARD
3) Fasten flanged tube to hangers with ‘U’ bolts:
 All tubes on the burner-side of the heater are bolted to the hangers with ‘U’ bolts
 Tubes on vent-side simply rest in the hanger notch and do not fasten to the hanger.
4) Bolt burner to flange on first tube section - SEE FIGURE 8 previous page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Models with inputs 175,000 & 200,000 refer to section 9.3
5) Slide a Torctite tube coupler over the swaged end of the first tube, then join the second tube
over the swage in the first tube -
6) Slide the Torctite coupler into position across the center of the tube joint - SEE FIGURE 9
7) IMPORTANT: TOURQUE THE COUPLER BOLTS TO 40 ft-lbs
8) Subsequent lengths of tube can then be installed on both sides of the hangers by joining
them together swaged portion inside the next tube and locking the joints using the Torctite
coupler. SEE FIGURE 9.
9) Install Turn Box: See Fig 12B
 The Turn Box has “long” and “short” tube legs
 The ‘long’ leg attaches to the burner-run tubes
 The ‘short’ leg attaches to the vent-run tube side - tubes end short of burner for con-
nection of vent pipe

SPECIAL COUPLER INSTALLATION
1. Note the 2 holes opposite each other at the swaged end of the first tube (flanged)
2. Install the first tube with 2 holes (swaged end) at the 3 and 9 o’clock position, with the welded
seam located in the lower half of tube, facing downward
3. Slide the loosened tube coupler on to the first tube, past the swage
4. The second tube has a ¼” hole at the female end.
5. Slide second tube over swaged end of first tube to align the hole in the second tube with one of
the holes in the first tube
6. Final alignment of the holes can be accomplished using a screw driver or other tool
7. IMPORTANT: Insert ¼” rivet into the hole to secure the tube connection
8. Slide coupler into position – half onto each tube – covering the rivet head
9. Tighten coupler bolts to 40 ft-lb
10. Install reflectors
9.3 SPECIAL COUPLING: 175,000 & 200,000 Btuh
NOTE: The joint of 1ST & 2ND tubes of 175,000 & 200,000 heaters experience strong
forces of expansion. Follow instructions below for special coupling of the tubes.

10. REFLECTOR INSTALLATION
SET-U / ITT-U - ‘U’-TUBE: After burner and tubes have been installed, slide the double-
wide reflectors one at a time onto the hangers. Fasten the FIRST hanger nearest the burner to
the reflector with a sheet metal screw up through the hole in the tab at each end of the hanger.
Do not fasten any other hangers in the system to reflectors. SEE FIGURE 12A
As each successive reflector is installed, the ends of the reflectors will overlap to provide con-
tinuous coverage over the entire tube system. The overlapping joints MUST BE FASTENED
TOGETHER with sheet metal screws - Note that for both horizontal and angle mounting, the
tube must be level along its length. Improper mounting can result in overheating of controls
and combustible materials.
Reflector extensions can be added to the heaters as an option. See Figure 15 and instructions
next page
NOTE: Ensure that you are installing a single reflector - reflectors can ‘stick
together’ in packaging - take care to separate them.
SET / ITT - STRAIGHT TUBE: After burner and tubes have been installed, slide the re-
flectors one at a time into the wire hangers. As each successive reflector is installed on an in-
line installation, the ends of the reflectors will overlap to provide continuous coverage over the
entire tube system. The overlapping joints MUST BE FASTENED TOGETHER with a sheet
metal screw.
Note that for either horizontal or angle mounting of the reflector, the tube must be level along
its length. Improper mounting can result in overheating of controls and combustible materials.
Reflector extensions can be added to the heaters as an option. See Figure 15 and instructions
next page
