Assembly Of Tube Sections - Space-Ray FUSION Series Installation & Operation Instructions

8.1) ANGLE MOUNTING OF HEATERS
1. Angle mounting can be accomplished by shortening one length of the chain to achieve the desired angle or
using notched section of the wire hanger for angle mounting.
Angle mounting can result in up to 30 % lower radiant output on the floor level and result in lower tube
temperatures when compared to horizontal mounting. Angle mounting of straight tubes for spot or area
heating (e.g. where a single heater is used for space heating) is not recommended unless you have additional
capacity or larger heaters specified/installed. If you are using straight tube heaters, you might have to install
two smaller size tube heaters with burners located at opposite ends, to provide more uniform energy
distribution and improved comfort level on the floor. Consult your Space-Ray Representative if you have any
questions prior to the installation concerning particulars of your application.
2. Based on the location of the wire hangers and spacing between the suspension points, it might be necessary
to use additional tube support brackets to support the reflector system. Please order additional Tube Hanger
Support Bracket (#43318000), U-bolt (#42873000), and 2 pieces of Hex Nut (#02127110) for each 10 ft.
length of emitter tube.

ASSEMBLY OF TUBE SECTIONS

During field assembly of the heater body sections, the recommended procedure is as follows:
1. Before hanging heater sections, first determine the actual layout of the system (see Sections 7.0) & 0 for
details). Consideration must also be taken for flue pipe, fresh air ducting, gas piping, clearances to
combustibles, etc. before hanging heater. Typical suspension methods are shown in Section 8.0).
2. Hang each tube section individually. DO NOT attach the heater tube sections together on the ground and
attempt to hang the entire system.
3. In all configurations, the burner box must be connected directly to a 12-radial hole flange of the 10 ft.
aluminized steel starting body section.
4. Assemble a tube support/hanger bracket 4" from the end of the heat exchanger tube having the mounting
flange. Align the tube such that the welded seam is facing down toward the ground.
Failure to assemble the tube with the seam facing down and installing the first tube support/hanger bracket
more than 6" from the burner box will VOID the manufacturer' warranty.
