5.3 HEATER COOLING CONNECTIONS: Each Model 5306B is designed with
two ‘quick-disconnect’ fittings protruding from the top of the heater cover. The fittings
located at the outer ends of the heater are the inlet/outlet cooling water ports.
Both fittings accept 1/4-inch outer-diameter flexible nylon tubing. A 20-ft. (6 m) length
of tubing and two additional quick-disconnect fittings are shipped with each Model
5306B heater. The tubing should be cut to specific lengths so that cooling water can be
supplied to the heater. The additional fittings should be used for connecting the tubing
directly to the cooling water source.
Once cut to the appropriate lengths, each individual tube length should be inserted into
the appropriate fittings on both the heater and the cooling water sources. Figure 5-2
details a typical installation for the Model 5306B heater.
Proper coolant flow must be maintained during operation of the heater. See Section 3 –
Specifications for required cooling-water flow for each Model 5306B heater size.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: The T3 lamp of the Model 5306B is
electrically wired to an intermediate terminal block within the heater.
Each heater is supplied with an 8-foot (2.4 m) electrical cable. If ordered with the PC
option, this cable is directly hard wired into the Model 5620 power controller.
