"The Purple People Heater" placement is critical for effective and efficient patio
heating.
For multiple heaters, if heaters are placed too close together, or mounted too
low, patrons of the patio may be uncomfortable. If heaters are placed too far apart, or
too high, on a breezy or wind-swept patio, the area may never become comfortable.
Infrared heaters work best if placed in areas of greatest heat loss, such as the
open side of a semi-protected patio.
"The Purple People Heater" may be angled mounted from 0 to 45 degrees
maximum.
Windy conditions can be a problem when heating any patio. Windbreaks can be
extremely effective in increasing comfort levels.
The heating requirements of any patio depend greatly on local climatic
conditions. It is recommended that you work with a local, and experienced supplier and
installer who are familiar with the heating requirements in your area.
For outdoor applications, the rigid pipe mount system is recommended to avoid
damaging movement under various weather conditions. The chain mount is ideal for
indoor use when hanging from an overhead structure.
1. Install post mounting brackets to post, unistrut or structure, ensuring it will maintain
a stable and a safe environment.
2. Attach wire hanger and support bracket assemblies to end of post mounting brackets
or unistrut mounting bracket. The first hanger must be no more than 6 inches from
the flange.
(See diagrams PTH-B burner end pipe mounting bracket assembly, PTH-J tube
joint pipe mounting bracket assembly and PTH-V vent end pipe mounting bracket
assembly).
3. Burner employs a control box hanger to stabilize the unit. With the burner hanger
assembly (see PTH-B) in place, install the 4" dia primary tube along with other tubes
into the joint hanger assembly (see PTH-J) and the vent hanger assembly
(see PTH-V). Join the lengths of tube together and secure joints. When securing
joints, you can then determine horizontal or angle mounted up to 45 degrees.
IMPROPER HANGER PLACEMENT CAN CAUSE THE RADIANT TUBE TO WARP AND
VOID WARRANTY.
THE BAFFLE MUST BE INSTALLED AT THE EXTREME OPPOSITE END OF THE HEATER
FROM THE BURNER.
