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.
WARNING
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 2 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 maybe
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.
Elbows and U-bends are un-heat treated aluminized material and are typically installed without reflectors.
Reflector miter kits are available for U-bends and elbows.
Adequate clearance to sprinkler heads must be maintained.
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above room
temperature. Building materials with low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply,
etc…) maybe subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure
that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.
Note 1:
Bottom Shields are approved for all burner sizes. The “below” clearance (dimension C in Table 2)
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 2 can be reduced for locations 25' (7.6 m) or more downstream from a burner,
before the next burner, maximum reduction is 50%

Installation
Installation Sequence
Generally, there is no unique sequence for installation of the burner or heat exchanger. A review of the
job site will usually indicate a logical installation order. However, time and expense can be saved if
installation is begun at the most critical dimension, watching for interference from overhead doors,
cranes, auto lifts etc. Figure 4 provides a general overview of the components utilized in the installation,
as well as their general relationship.
Figure 4: General Overview of Installation
A general ordered sequence for installation is provided below for reference.
HANGERS INSTALLATION
Suspension mechanism must allow for lateral tubing expansion. A minimum 12" length welded
link chain with a working load limit of at least 200 lbs. is recommended (refer to Figure 5 for
more details). SRP recommends and make available “quick links” for connecting chain. If
any open ended “S” hooks and turnbuckles are used, the open ends must be closed to avoid
unhooking chain with inadvertent contact.
Locate hanging chain at predetermined suspension points in the structure. It is required that the
first 2 hangers be about 8' to 9' away. Thereafter, 10' apart on average is acceptable for the
remainder of the heat exchanger. At no time should hangers be more than 12' apart, (see Figure 6).

TUBE INSTALLATION
Always use all the hangers supplied. As a rule the combustion tube (first tube) utilizes 2 hangers
and thereafter 1 hanger per 10' section. It is required that the first hanging point be 2"to 8"
from the burner mounting flange, and tube weld seam must face down, refer to Figure 7 for
more details.
Figure 7: Installation of First section of Flanged Tube
For all remaining tubes, fit the end of the tube with a coupling refer to Figure 8, (the coupling
should be loose).

Installation
Tighten the cradle loops of the first hanger with the “J-Bolt” found in the burner box, to snugly
hold the combustion tube from rotating see Figure 9.
Note: For all coupling joints, ensure that the tube joint is in the center of the coupling
length, and that the overlap joint of the coupling is above the centerline of the tube. Also
ensure that the weld seam on ALL tubes is facing down.
Note: In order to obtain smoothly sealed coupling liners, tighten each of the coupling
bands progressively and alternately. Tightening one band completely before the other may
result in an undesirable wrinkle in the liner (refer to Figure 9). Be sure not to over torque
the coupling. (Torque coupling to 15-25 lbf-ft).
Figure 9: “J” and Coupling Bolt Installations
Continue placing tubes, couplings and reflectors to complete the heater assembly. Ensure heat
exchanger sections line up straight. Couplings should be tightened as heat exchanger is placed,
since it is more difficult to do so once the reflector is in position.

HEATER AND BAFFLE INSTALLATION
Locate the burner gasket provided, bolt the burner in place on the tube flange with provided
hardware. Burner must never be installed in a tilted position. The sense electrode of the burner
cup should be in the 12 o’clock position (Figure 10).
Figure 10: Burner Gasket Installation
If required for your heater model (refer to Table 1), install the baffle at the end of the heat
exchanger. The small tab on the baffle is folded over the end of the tube and clamped in place by
the vent connector and vent system, refer to Figure 11.
Note: Baffles are always placed at the end of the last heat exchanger tube length, with the
exception of the special configuration 205,000 BTUH with a 50' tube length, refer to
Figure 3 for more details.
Note: Baffles are either one or two sections (each section is 6' in length). Multiple sections are
simply clipped together. Where stainless and aluminized sections are supplied, always
place the stainless steel section closest to the burner. The easiest installation method is to
pull the baffle through the tube using a long wire.

ELBOW AND “U-TUBE”INSTALLATION
If required by the heater layout, install 90° elbows or U-tube where indicated. Refer to Figure 18
for details.
Note: Elbows or U-tubes are typically installed without reflectors. To reduce the above
clearance to combustibles distance use miter reflectors (see Figure 19) and refer to
Clearance to Combustibles information.
Figure 18: 90° Elbow and U-Tube Assembly Detail
Elbows or U Tubes must be located not less than 10' from the burner in TA/TX/TXR-100 and
smaller models, not less than 15' from the burner in TA/TX/TXR-125 to TA/TX/TXR-150, and not
less than 20' from the burner in TA/TX/TXR-175 and larger models.
