8. SUSPENSION SYSTEM
End plate hangers are provided to support
reflectors and tubes at both ends of heater,
that is at burner and at flue, see FIGURE 3
(below), FIGURES 4,5,6 (PAGE 8). Wire
hangers are provided to support reflectors and
tubes along the full length between the two
end plate hangers, SEE FIGURES 4,5 (PAGE
8) and FIGURES 7,9 (PAGE 9). (The STS-p
45-10 DOES NOT require wire hangers, as
the reflector is supported at both ends by
the end plate hangers).
The system configuration and available
support locations must be considered in order
to locate the radiant tubes correctly.
2 Hangers for each length of tube must be
installed and located approximately 6” to 12”
in from end (s) of tube (s) to be suspended.
Labour and material can be reduced by
locating (system configuration permitting)
directly under structural members such as
joists, steel or wood beams, etc.
Chain is recommended for hanging the tube
system, connecting the hangers to beam
support as illustrated in FIGURE 8 (PAGE
9). To support burner and keep it level, a
separate suspension chain must be attached to
the eye hook at flange end of burner angled
slightly back over burner, FIGURE 4 (PAGE
8). This will permit normal expansion and
contraction of the tube system. (If rigid
devices such as rods are used in place of
chain, swing joints or other means of
sufficient length must be provided to
compensate for expansion.)
