  • Page 19: Assembly Of Tube Sections

    10.0) 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.
  • Page 20: Assembly Of Extension Section

    10.1 ASSEMBLY OF EXTENSION SECTION See typical assembly overview (Section 8.0) for typical complete assembly. Assemble additional extension sections as required for all systems.
