Optional side shields are pieces of reflector material that can be “hung” along one
side of the tubular system. A side shield measures 60-3/4” (154cm) long x 10-15/16”
(28cm) high and comes with an additional tube bracket and wire retainer. Each Option
CD13-20 side shield kit has the components needed to extend the full length listed in
the table with a 3/4” overlap. However, if only part of the tubular system requires a side
shield, kits may be selected by length to adapt to the installation. If the system includes
any 5-ft tubes, an Option CD19 kit with only one shield is available for each 5-ft tube.
NOTE: The maximum reflector angle of a heater with a side shield is 30°. When
the reflector is angled, the side shield must only be hung along the lower side of
the reflector. Do not hang a side shield from the higher side.

Installation
Instructions
WARNING
The side shield kit is to be selected and installed by a qualified service person in accordance
with these instructions and in compliance with all codes and requirements of authorities having
jurisdiction. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for this installation.
Side shield hanger slots must be matched to the system and drilled and cut in the
field. All sections require a hanger slot at each end in the location shown in FIGURE 1.
Because system suspension dimensions may vary, an additional slot will probably be
required in most sections.
NOTE: If side shields have a protective covering, remove before installing.
1) Side shield sections are designed to be installed with a 3/4” (19mm) overlap. Cut
“hanger slots” as shown in FIGURE 1. The edge of the shield with the 60° bend
will be at the top. Measure down 21/32” (16.7mm) from the 60° bend line. From
the end of the shield, measure in 3/8” (9.5mm) and mark. Measure again, 7/8”
(22.2mm) from the end and mark. At each mark, drill a 5/16” (8mm) diameter hole.
Cut out the material between the two holes to form a slot. Repeat on the opposite
end of the shield.
