- Page 4 Dimensions and Speci cations BASE-RAY TAPPINGS- Tapped 3/4" top and bot- tom of end sections. A 3/4" x 1/8" vent bushing is furnished with each Base-Ray Assembly. Only one air vent location need be used. Copper tubing is not recommended for steam appli- cations due to high heat loss through the tubing and thermal expansion noise.
- Page 5 It is not recommended that BASE-RAY be used in a One-Pipe Steam System. System Description 1. Series Loop is a forced circulation hot water heating system with the BASE-RAY Assemblies connected so that all the water owing through a circuit passes through each series- connected Assembly in the circuit.
- Page 6 SERIES LOOP SYSTEMS Installation Data This type of installation, in which the BASE-RAY blies serve as part of the main, is the most economical way BASE-RAY can be installed. Substantial savings in labor and material are realized in that one-pipe ttings, shut-off valves, balancing cocks and additional piping are eliminated.
- Page 7 To Design Series-Loop Base-Ray Installation – ® 1. Calculate the Heat Loss of each room using the procedure outlined in the I=B=R Heat Loss Calculation Guide No. H-21 or the ASHRAE Guide. 2. Using 210°F as design water temperature and 500 lbs/hr. as ow rate, select length of BASE-RAY Assembly for each room to produce desired output.
- Page 8 ¾” right and left coupling and corner connections with ¾” street elbow. Because of these space limitations, Burnham has available a No. 90-S Compression Connector for use with the Projecting Corner Plate (see illustration).
- Page 9 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Wall Preparation: To prevent excessive heat loss through the walls in back of BASE-RAY , it is recommended that the stud space ® behind the Assemblies be insulated to a height of at least 12” above the oor with 4” mineral wool batts (blanket or loose insulation may also be used) or other approved insulating materials.
- Page 10 5. Assembling BASE-RAY ® BASE-RAY is shipped assembled in lengths up to six (6) lineal feet – longer assemblies are shipped in two or more sub-assemblies for assembly on the job (see BASE-RAY Assembly chart, page 4). One man can join tow sub- assemblies together in a matter of minutes providing he has a BASE-RAY Assembly Clamp (available at a nominal charge) and follows the recommended procedure.
- Page 11 Stand Assemblies upright, place in position and fasten to the walls with Top Center Supports using the number shown in the table above. Insert Top Center Supports in Air Outlet opening of Sections opposite studs (stud locations determined in step 1).
- Page 12 8. Installation of Corner Plates INVERTED CORNER PLATES – for inside corners – furnished in two types, 4-5/8” standard plate is used when Assemblies on adjoining walls extend to within 4-3/8” of the corner. If this distance is greater than 4-3/8” but less than 10-3/8”, the 10-5/8”...
- Page 13 We recommended using 1” wide tape for this purpose, preferably with a thermal setting adhesive, available from Burnham at nominal charge. With the adhesive side down, press one-half of tape against the top of BASE-RAY and the other half against the wall as illustrated on page 9.
- Page 14 INSTALLATION WITH BURNHAM RADIANT OR SLENDERIZED RADIATORS – Since a BASE-RAY installation is made in much the same manner as any other radiator system, BURNHAM RADIANT OR SLENDER- IZED RADIATORS may be used in a BASE-RAY Radiant Baseboard System. TWO-TIER INSTALLATION – Where wall space is limited, BASE-RAY may be installed in tiers.
