WARNING
!
Heater Mounting
Improper suspension of the infrared heater may result in collapse and being crushed.
Always suspend from a permanent part of the building structure that can support the total
force and weight of the heater.
Failure to maintain minimum clearance to combustibles may result in fire and/or explosion,
property damage, serious injury or death. Always maintain minimum clearances and post
signs or provided tags (F/N: LL01) where needed. Signs should state the hazards for the
particular application and be legible to the building occupants. Consult the factory or a
factory representative for additional information on signage compliance.
The heater can be suspended with chains or rigid threaded rod. Local codes, or conditions that would
cause the unit to move (e.g., wind drafts, blowers, crane rails, etc.), may require rigid threaded rod.
Consult all applicable codes before installation.
The heater must be level from side to side and between 20° and 35° from horizontal. The pilot burner or
ignitor, manifold and controls must be located on the lower end. Refer to figures 2.3 and 2.4.
An approved connector, suitable for the environment of equipment usage, is required.
Visible or excessive swaying, flexing and vibration of the gas connections
must be avoided
to prevent failure. Neither the gas pipe nor the connector shall be placed in the ‘flue
discharge area’. In no case shall the gas supply support the weight of the heater.
