Baffle Assembly and Placement
To assemble the baffles: NOTE: Baffles may be inserted into the tube while being assembled.
Identify one heat baffle (no fins) and two pressure baffles (with fins).
1
Orient the baffle tabs at a 90° angle to the baffle keyhole (see Figure 3.18).
2
Insert one baffle tab into keyhole and slide completely to one side until both baffle tabs appear in
3
the keyhole.
Adjust the tabs to the center of the keyhole and rotate the baffle 90 degrees to lock the baffle
4
sections together.
Repeat this process until all three baffle sections are connected.

To insert the baffles:
Insert baffles with the keyhole end first. IMPORTANT: Note insertion order and proper fin direction
1
(80° towards exhaust end and 100° towards burner end (Figure 3.19).
Rotate baffle assembly so that it is in the vertical position.
2
Slide baffle assembly into the last radiant tube section, furthest from burner control box.

NOTE: It may be necessary to cut the heat baffle into two sections when the heater is configured with a 'U' or
'L' shaped accessory fitting. In this case, place as much baffle as possible downstream of the 'U' or 'L' fitting
and the remainder just before the fitting.
