Page 18: Typical Suspension Methods
6. Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent structure with adequate load capacity. SunStar recommends that the body sections be suspended using chains with turnbuckles. This will allow slight adjustments after assembly and heater expansion/ contraction during operation. -
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 40: Air For Combustion
If the heater is installed less than 2 ft. from the ceiling, a combustion air inlet kit PN 44129510 must be provided to allow for expansion/contraction of straight tube heaters (SPS series). In colder climates, where necessary, insulate the outside combustion air duct. In high humidity applications, the burner box should be sealed with silicone sealer. - Page 41 In multiple heater applications multiple heater applications, the combustion air intake may be ducted individually or common ducted in the multiple heater applications multiple heater applications same configuration as shown for venting in Section 16.0). For combustion air intake duct sizing, please refer to the Vent Sizing Table Vent Sizing Table and use the diameter indicated, based on the number of heaters per duct.

18.0) LIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS DANGER 1. Turn on the gas and electrical supply. Rotate the gas valve knob counter-clockwise to the “ON” position. 2. Set the thermostat to call for heat. The blower motor will energize. 3. Ignition should occur after the 15-second pre-purge. 4. -
Page 43: Control Component Location
Note: When the SPS / SPU is operated by a thermostat interrupting the line voltage (120V) to the heater then the post purge function is disabled. If the flame is not sensed during sequence T3 then the burner will automatically begin re-ignition sequence T2. The ignition sequence will be repeated three times with a 60 second inter-purge. -
