CAUTION: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Maintain clearance to combustible constructions as further specified in this manual. Failure to do so
could result in a serious fire hazard. Heaters should not be located in hazardous atmospheres
containing flammable vapors or combustible dusts. Signs should be provided in storage areas
specifying maximum safe stacking height.
CAUTION: MECHANICAL HAZARD
This equipment expands and contracts with each operating cycle. The gas connection, suspension
hardware and the installation itself must safely allow this movement. Failure to do so could result in
serious fire or explosion hazard.
CAUTION: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
This heater is equipped with an automatic ignition device. Do not attempt to light the burner by
hand. Failure to comply could result in a serious fire and personal injury hazard.
CAUTION: MECHANICAL HAZARD
Do not use high pressure (above 1/2 psi) to test the gas supply system with the burners connected.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the burner and its control components requiring
replacement.
CAUTION: SERVICE LIFE RISK
Do not install equipment in atmospheres containing halogenated hydrocarbons or other corrosive
chemicals. Failure to do so may lead to premature equipment failure and invalidation of the
warranty. Additionally, it is recommended that the equipment be installed with a slope downward
and away from the burner of ¼" (6mm) in 10' (3m) to allow start-up condensate drainage.

Hang these about 100” apart.
Install Tubes and U-Bolts.
Step 1:
Step 2-A:
Step 2-B:
U-Bolt with extra nuts –close to Flange. The nuts sandwich the Hanger Bracket as pictured above.
Before installing the four U-Bolts, just ONE of the U-Bolts gets extra nuts, as shown here:
100”
Thread the extra nuts upwards
(they don’t need to be tight for now)

SRP BIG SHOT® Page 4 LT218 4/9/2019
On the burner side, the distance between
the Flange and U-Bolt should be 9”
On the U-Tube side, the distance between
the Tube’s end and U-Bolt should be 10”
Fasten the remaining 8 nuts onto the U-Bolts –leave these loose until the end!
Step 3:
Step 4:
Orient the Tubes within the U-Bolts.
9”
10”

Install the Baffles: Pictured below is a bottom view of the heater.
2 foot Baffle is isolated in the Flanged Tube (Combustion Tube)
6 foot and 4 foot Baffle are linked together in the Non-Flanged Tube (Return Tube)
Step 5:
2 foot Baffle
(Big Shot 80 only)
4 foot Baffle
(Big Shot 80 only)
6 foot Baffle
(Big Shot 60 and 80)
Bend Baffle Tab
over edge of Tube
at 6:00 position
Lock both Baffles together before inserting:
Align the little tabs and keyhole together at a 90 degree angle. Insert the tabs into the keyhole.
Rotate to 0 degrees, and then slide both Baffles into the Non-Flanged Tube.
Bend Baffle Tab
over edge of Tube
at 6:00 position

Step 6:
The Coupling has a tab inside to dictate the depth of the Tubes and U-Tubes.
Both edges of the Tube and U-Tube should be touching.
Attach Couplings and U-Tube together.
Step 7:
Place Reflectors onto heater.
They’ll be loose for now, but these two pictures depict how
the Reflectors will be oriented once they are fastened:

Step 8-A:
Install the following components, 62” (middle)
from the edge of the Reflector:
Qty 2 - CR004 Reflector Brackets
Qty 2 - CR009 Spring Clip
Qty 4 - CH044 Screw, 8-32 x 1-1/4
Hex Head, Roberston #2
62”
Step 8-B:
Set the screws to a leave a gap of no more than 0.125”

SRP BIG SHOT® Page 8 LT218 4/9/2019
Step 9:
Install the Inner End Cap with 6 screws,
as pictured here:
End Cap with flanges on the inside (hidden).

SRP BIG SHOT® Page 9 LT218 4/9/2019
Step 10:
Fasten one Hanger to the Reflector,
using the standard screws.
Secondly, hold the Reflector tight to the bracket while fastening.
Screw the bracket to the reflector.
Firstly, ensure the Hanger Bracket is
perpendicular to the Reflector, and
then follow these dimensions:
Fasten this
bracket only.
(This bracket is left free
for reflector expansion)
6”
3”
Step 10-A:
Step 10-B:
Match the profile of the Reflector and Bracket as pictured:

SRP BIG SHOT® Page 10 LT218 4/9/2019
Step 11-A:
Orient the End Caps onto the Reflector.
Step 11-B:
Fasten the End Caps with a total of 12
standard screws.
End Cap with flanges on the outside

Step 12:
Fasten the Hanger to the Reflector, using the standard screws.
*While fastening, hold the Reflector tight to the bracket.

SRP BIG SHOT® Page 12 LT218 4/9/2019
Step 13-A:
Attach the U-Tube End Cap to the
U-Tube Reflector with 10 screws,
as pictured here:
Step 13-B:
Install the Reflector onto the heater by
overlapping the two reflectors.
*Critical!
Before fastening in the next step, ensure that there is a 2” gap
between the U-Tube and End Cap.
There should an overlap of about 9”, but the 2” space
mentioned above is the driving dimension!
2”
End Cap with flanges on the outside.

To fasten the Reflector, use standard screws as shown:
Step 14:

SRP BIG SHOT® Page 14 LT218 4/9/2019
To fasten the Tubes down, tighten all U-Bolt Nuts to be snug.
The only unique case pertains to the 4 nuts on the U-Bolt close to the flange.
Step 15:
These 6 nuts are to be snug.
Tighten these nuts to lock the U-Bolt in
place, leaving the Tube loose.
Don’t secure the Tube down, as it
needs to move freely during heating
and expansion

Finally, attach the Burner Head to the Flange using the 4 lock washers and nuts provided.
Step 16:
You should now have a fully assembled heater.
