The following instructions are a guide to
installation only, and supplement, but do
not replace design instructions given in the
Schwank Engineering Manual. Since
most installations will differ in many de-
tails, these instructions are general.
Sound judgment must be exercised and
careful supervision is essential to assure
that the installation will be made in the
best manner possible for trouble-free op-
eration and at the very least cost.
The general procedure for installing the
heater system is to install the burner and
the system tubing, followed by the reflec-
tors, gas piping, and wiring. Carefully sur-
vey the area to be heated and place the
burner end in the coldest area, if possible.
The procedure for installing the tube sys-
tem is based on structural members of the
building and how they can be used to sup-
port the tubing system. Before proceeding
with the installation of the system, we sug-
gest that you consult with your Schwank
distributor for the proper procedure for
your particular job.
All system tubing must be supported in
accordance with acceptable practice, local
codes, and applicable standards.
The heater is suitable for reflector mount-
ing angles up to 45° along the short axis.
Each section of shade can be individually
angle mounted using the supplied shade
end plate hangers Improper angle mount-
ing can result in overheating of controls
and combustible material.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Chain is recommended for hanging the
heater and connecting the hanger (s) to a
beam or other support. This will permit
normal expansions and contractions of
the pipe system. NOTE: It is the respon-
sibility of the installer to insure that the
chosen suspension system will support
the overall weight of the system.
If rigid means such as rods are used in
place of chains, swing joints, or other
means of sufficient length must be pro-
vided to compensate for expansion. IM-
PORTANT: For either horizontal or an-
gle mounting, the long axis of the tube
must be level. Only noncombustible
mounting hardware should be used.
These installation instructions are for
the standard straight tube applications
only. Call your local distributor for en-
gineered systems differing from the stan-
dard series tube kits.
1. Attach the burner box to the flanged
aluminized or alumatherm tube using
the bolts, nuts, and washers provided.
Ensure that the gasket is sandwiched be-
tween the two flanges.
