3.0 Installation • Baffle Assembly and Placement
To assemble the baffles: NOTE: Baffles may be inserted into the tube while being assembled.
Determine the number of baffles needed for your model number as indicated on box label. Remove
one 36 in. baffle section if heater is installed with an elbow or U-bend accessory.
2 Orient the baffle tabs at a 90° angle to the baffle keyhole (see figure 3.19).
3
Insert one baffle tab into keyhole and slide completely to one side until both baffle tabs appear in
the keyhole.
4 Adjust the tabs to the center of the keyhole and rotate the baffle 90 degrees to lock the baffle
sections together.
Repeat this process with remaining baffle sections to complete assembly.
Figure 3.19 • Assembling the Baffles
Figure 3.20 • Inserting the Baffles
To insert the baffles:
Insert baffles with the keyhole end first.
2 Rotate baffle assembly so that it is in the vertical position.
3 Slide baffle assembly into the last radiant tube section, furthest from burner control box.
NOTE: Baffle assemblies longer than 10 ft. will continue to be fed into next tube section.
If the heater is fitted with a ‘U’ or ‘L’ shaped accessory fitting, it may necessary to cut the baffle
into two sections. In this case, place as much baffle as possible downstream of the accessory fitting
and the remainder just before the fitting.
IMPORTANT: Baffle assembly must be flush with the
end of the last tube section and in the vertical position.
