It is normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a tube heater will
expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion must be made in the gas
connection, venting and combustion air ducting.
Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in property damages,
toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury and death. Using an approved flexible gas connector in
the USA and Rubber Type 1 hose connector in Canada, the gas supply to the heater
must be connected and tested in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and
national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA: B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in
the manual.
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide
poisoning, injury or death. The heater may be directly or indirectly vented from the
space. Venting must be in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national
codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in this
manual.
During start up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process
of tubes and reflectors will create smoke during the initial period of operation. This
condition is normal and temporary. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to
adequately clear any smoke from the space. Notify site and safety personnel to ensure
that alarm systems are not unduly activated.
