  • Page 10: Typical Suspension Methods

    6. Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent structure with adequate load capacity. SunStar recommends that the tube sections be suspended using chains with turnbuckles. This will allow slight adjustments after assembly and heater expansion/ contraction during operation.

  • Page 11: Heater Assembly

    10.0) HEATER ASSEMBLY During field assembly of the heater, the recommended procedure is as follows: 1. Install suspension (according to Section 7.0) using proper suspension method (see Section 9.0). Trapeze Method Individual Suspension Method 2. Lift the tube section and suspend it into place. When lifting, caution should be used to avoid damaging the assembly.
  • Page 12 3. Assembly the reflector onto the tube section. Leave 3” space between the tube flange and the reflector for later mounting of control box and draft inducer. 4. Place the flanges of the control end reflector flush with the end of the first reflector. Secure by sliding speed clips onto reflector edges.
  • Page 13 7. Slip the plastic vacuum air tube over the 1/4” O.D. aluminum tube end of the draft inducer and the air switch probe in the control box. The air tube should be shortened to prevent a downward sag which could allow condensation build-up in the tube.

    ANGLE MOUNTED HEATERS ONLY 10. The heater can be mounted horizontally or up to an angle of 45º maximum from horizontal. When the heater is to be angle mounted adjacent to a sidewall, make sure the draft inducer assembly is on the lower side of the heater so that the control box access panel is easily accessible.
  • Page 15 10. After all gas connections have been made, make sure the heater and all gas outlets are turned off before the main gas supply is turned on slowly. Turn the gas supply pressure on and check for leaks. To check for leaks, check by one of the methods listed in Appendix D of the National Fuel Gas Code.
