Heater Placement and Suspension

Heater Placement and Suspension
Improper suspension of the tube heater may result in collapse and being crushed.
Always suspend from a permanent part of the building structure that can evenly support
the total force and weight of the heater.
Failure to maintain minimum clearances to combustibles may result in fire and/or
explosion, property damage, serious injury, or death. Always maintain minimum
clearances and post clearance safety limit signs or the clearance safety tag where
needed.
Suspension of the heater must conform to applicable codes referenced in the Safety section and these
instructions.
Mark locations for hanging points.

Prepare mounting surface. If necessary, weld blocks and drill holes.
2
Fasten beam clamp, screw hook, or other type of suspension anchor to hanging point.

Attach and close stainless steel S-hook and 1/0 stainless steel bulldog chain to anchor. Check that it is

securely attached. NOTE: Threaded rod or optional hanging bracket kit may be used.
Attach stainless steel S-hooks to turnbuckles (P/N: DS-TB) and hanging bolts inserted through the

hanging brackets. Adjust chain lengths until heater is level and equal weight distribution is achieved.
Once heater is level, insert egg crate assemblies by sliding into the reflector, 1 from each end (see Fig.
