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 and safe parking
locations for vehicles of various heights.
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
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 ½ psi [3.5 kPa]) to test the gas supply system with the
burners connected. Failure to comply 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 comply 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” in 10 ft (7 mm per 3 m) to
allow drainage of start-up condensate.

INTRODUCTION
Superior Radiant Products is a company in the infrared heating industry founded on the principles of
product quality and consumer commitment.
Quality commitment is evidenced by superior design, a regard for design detail and an upgrade of
materials wherever justifiable.
Customer commitment is apparent through our ready responses to market demands and a never ending
training and service support program for and through our distributor network.
The Premier VS-VH Vacuum System is the culmination of decades of infrared expertise and commitment
to quality products. The VS-VHSystemis easy to install and maintain, offers flexibility of design which is
unmatched in the industry and provides economical and trouble free operation.
Operating Principle
The PREMIER VS-VH System operates on the following basic principles:
ONE Vacuum Setting is required for all Branches in the System, and is independent of
which Burner Model is installed.
Individual Air Plates have been specially engineered to co-ordinate with the ‘Position’ a
Burner is placed in on any Branch of the System.
Individual Burner Models are specific for a desired BTU/hr heat rating.
System can be operated in ONE of TWO modes:
oSingle Rate: Entire system operates at ONE fixed Rate using Manual Dampers.
oModulating Rate: The use of Motorized Dampers allows the System to modulate
the overall Heat Output during operation to meet building demand. Burner output
Rates may be decreased from ideal designed rate by up to 40%.
Important
These instructions, the System Design Layout drawing, local codes and ordinances, and applicable
standards such as apply to gas piping and electrical wiring comprise the basic information needed to
complete the installation, and must be thoroughly understood along with general building codes
before proceeding.
Only personnel who have been trained and understand all applicable codes should undertake the
installation. SRP Representatives are Factory Certified in the service and application of this
equipment and can be called on for helpful suggestions about installation.

Premier VS-VH Infrared Heating System Page 5 April 10th, 2015
APPLICABLE CODES
Installations must comply with local building codes, or in their absence, the latest edition of the
national regulations and procedures listed below:
General Installation and Gas Codes

54) in the US and the Natural Gas and PropaneInstallation Code,CAN/CGA B149.1 &B149.2 in
Canada.
A 1/8” NPT plugged tap must be installed in the gas line connection immediately upstream
of the burner farthest from the gas supply meter to allow checking of system gas pressure.
Electrical
All heaters must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 in the US, and the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1 in Canada, and must comply with all local
requirements.
Venting

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
A general clearance of 18” (0.5 m) in every direction is recommended for servicing only around each
Burner, Vacuum Pump, and End Vent Cap air supply (at the far end of each Radiant Branch) also to
ensure adequate air flow in and around the Heating System.
In addition to this it is very important to observe the minimum clearance to combustibles at all
times to avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.
Clearances as marked on the heater body must be maintained from vehicles parked beneath. Signs
should be posted identifying any possible violation of the clearance distances from the heater in all
vehicle areas.
Maximum allowable stacking height in storage areas should be identified with signs or appropriate
markings adjacent to the thermostat or in a conspicuous location.
Table A lists the minimum clearance to combustible materials for various installation configurations.
Note that standard clearances also apply to installation above T-bar ceilings and above decorative grills.
Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other materials which may be
damaged by radiant or convective heat.
Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastics, Plexiglas or
other materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible
even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
The installer is responsible to ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance which may
degrade at higher temperatures (up to 90F (32C) above ambient) are protected to prevent
degradation.
Note 1: Bottom Shields are approved for all burner sizes. The “below” clearance(dimension C
inTable A) may be reduced by 25% when an approved Bottom Shield is used.
Note 2: Reduced clearances downstream from the burner are approved for all configurations.
Dimensions “B”, “C”, and “D” in Table Acan be reduced for locations 25 ft (7.6 m) or
more downstream from a burner, before the next burner, maximum reduction is 50%

INSTALLATION
Preparation
Most vacuum system designs are laid out on a clean blank sheet of paper. Unfortunately, typical
construction does not permit this unimpeded access and therefore some planning and preparation early in
the project will save much time and effort later on.
Start by reviewing the installation procedure. Examine where the equipment will be installed and how it
will be supported. Please pay special attention to any objects that might be in the way or in close
proximity to the heating system. Refer to Table A(Clearance to Combustibles) to ensure a safe distance
between the heating system and any combustible materials.
Acquaint yourself with the standard components referred to in this manual. Many of these components are
shown in detail inFigure 3&Figure 4. They are also shown in general assembly form in Figure 1and
Figure 2 to illustrate where the components fit in a typical Symmetrical System and a Non-Symmetrical
System. (These Figures are found in the ‘Equipment Specifications’section.)
If possible, lay the entire system out on the floor prior to installation. This will help identify any potential
problems with the installation as well as any discrepancy in component quantity. Ensure that all burners
are those specified by the System Design Layout in input, gas type and position no..
*DO NOT TRIM / CUT ANY Combustion Tube,adjust the system to fit around the Combustion Tubes.
Layout Limits
Ensure that the System Layout meets the limits required in Table B and Table C.
Table B : Radiant Tube System Layout Limits
*When minimum Radiant Tube lengths are used, minimum tailpipe length must be increased by 50%
