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 & 8.0 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 9.0.
2. Hang each tube section individually. DO NOT attach the heater tube sections together on the ground and attempt
to hang the entire system.
In all configurations, the burner box must be connected directly to either a) the 24-hole flange of the 10 ft.
3.
aluminized steel starting body section (for 10 ft., 20 ft., and 30 ft. systems) or b) the 6-hole flange of the 10 ft.
alumi-therm steel starting body section (for 40 ft., 50 ft., 60 ft., and 70 ft. systems.
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.
5. Suspend the chain to attach the wire hanger and the tube support bracket. Insert the tube into the wire hanger
and then raise the tube support bracket end up to the suspension chain, use "S" hooks to attach the wire hanger
and tube support bracket to the chain.
FAILURE TO ASSEMBLE THE TUBE WITH THE SEAM FACING DOWN
WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.
