Optional Elbow Or U-Bend Accessory Configuration - Brant Radiant Heaters DX2-20-60 User Manual

DX2 Series
Slip-fit the radiant tube sections together until tightly connected (install the swaged end of each tube
3
towards exhaust end). NOTE: If it is difficult to mate the tubes, they may be installed incorrectly.
Center tube clamps over the seam where two radiant tube sections connect. If necessary, rotate tube
4
clamps so they will not interfere with the reflector end caps during expansion and contraction of
the heater.
Tighten tube clamp bolts to secure. When proper compression is obtained (40-60 ft-lbs. torque) the
5
tube seam will create a visible mark on the tube clamp. NOTE: Excessive torque may damage the
tube clamp.
Determine the location of the burner control box and note the placement of the mounting chains.

Optional Elbow or U-Bend Accessory Configuration

A 90 degree elbow or 180 degree U-bend accessory fitting may be installed in the radiant tube heating
system. Refer to Chart 3.3 for minimum distance requirements from the burner control box.
When installing an Elbow or U-Bend Accessory Fitting:
• The top clearance of an uncovered (no reflector) elbow or U-bend accessory fitting to combustibles
is 18 in.
• If operating the heater unvented, separate the intake air to the heater from its exhaust products a
minimum of 4 ft., further separation may be necessary. Combustion air may also be supplied.
• A maximum of two 90° elbows or one 180° U-bend can be installed on a heater.
• Omit one 36 in. section of turbulator baffle. Refer to Baffle Assembly section.
