3.0 Installation • Preparing Points for Hanging • Hanging Types
1 Transfer the heater’s three hanging locations to the ceiling where the unit is to be installed and mark
hanging points.
2 Prepare mounting surface. If necessary attach additional support blocks and drill holes (Figure 3.5).
3 Fasten beam clamp, screw hook or other type of suspension anchor to hanging point.
4 Attach and close S-hook (P/N: S-HOOK) and #1 double-loop chain (P/N: THCS) to anchor. Check
that it is securely attached. NOTE: Threaded rod and turnbuckles may be used.
NOTE: The unit must be in straight alignment and level. Adjust chain lengths until radiant tubing is level
and equal weight distribution is achieved. Chains must be straight up and down. Do not install chains at
an angle as this can result in tube warpage or separation.
