Example spaced U-Bolt locations. All other U-Bolts to be fixed All the brackets on the burner tube, except, the bracket adjacent to the U-Bend end, should have spaced U-Bolts. All middle brackets on the fan tube should have nuts and washers on both sides of the bracket. This is to allow the U-Bolt to be tightened whilst still allowing a 3mm gap for the Gap 3mm min.
The bracket furthest from the burner must be installed with the flange and reflector fixing tabs facing away from the burner end of the heater. All other brackets must have the flanges facing towards the burner end. Slide the bracket assemblies along the tubes to the correct position and in the correct order (15-25kW models have a different first U-Bolt).
