WHEN AN EXISTING CATEGORY I HEATER IS REMOVED OR
REPLACED, THE ORGINAL VENTING SYSTEM MAY NO LONGER
BE SIZED TO PROPERLY VENT THE ATTACHED APPLIANCES.
The effects of an improperly sized venting system can
include but not limited to: the formation of
condensate, leakage, spillage etc. The following test
procedure is required:
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected
to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon
monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to
the venting system being placed into operation, while all other
appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1) Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2) Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as
required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1 and these
instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an
unsafe condition.
3) As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to
the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4) Close fireplace dampers.
5) Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do
not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6) Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected
into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating
continuously.
7) Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft
hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the flame of a match or candle.
8) If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the
venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
9) After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the
venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above,
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any
other gas-fired burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

8.0 INSTALLATION
Provide for adequate clearance around air openings into the combustion chamber, clearances from
combustible material, provisions for accessibility and for combustion and ventilating air supply.
8.1 PLANNING
• Familiarize yourself with the equipment and any accessories that you may require.
• Locate the area where unit is to be installed.
• Locate area where any holes might have to be cut for:
a) Electrical and control wire.
b) Any gas piping requirements
c) Venting (PH-40, 50, 75, 80, 100, and 125 only)
• Make sure that there is no obstruction such as hidden electrical wiring, water lines etc... in the areas
of concern.
• Locate the control (All Models) and thermostat (PH-40, 50, 75, 80, 100, and 125 models indoors only)
location.
WARNING: Observe minimum clearance to combustibles.
REFER TO PAGE 9.
FOR 120 VOLT SYSTEM INSTALLATION
• Locate a grounded, adequate electrical source.
• Measure the required amount of the various materials required to do the installation, and have these
materials on site in an organized manner prior to commencement.
WARNING NOTES FOR INSTALLATION AND SUSPENSION OF THE OVERHEAD HEATER
WARNING: If the installer is to install the heater via hanging chains, it is the responsibility of the
installer to use hanging chain that has a minimum support capacity of no less than 100 lbs. Also make
sure all suspension points are adequate to support weight of heater and any accessories. Also make
sure all S-Hooks are affixed properly and the open ends squeezed closed. If the suspension system
fails, it is the responsibility of the installer.
If utilizing installation brackets or another means of suspension is used, make sure all brackets and
fasteners have sufficient load bearing capacity to satisfy the local codes as well as the extra load
that may be place upon the heater and suspension methods encountered during windy conditions.
A FAILED SUSPENSION SYSTEM CAN CAUSE PROPERT DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
THE INSTALLER TAKES FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE CORRECT AND ADEQUATED
METHOD OF INSTALLATION AND SUSPENSION OF THE HEATER FOR THE CONDITIONS AND/OR
LOCATION THAT IT IS TO BE INSTALLED AT. THE SUSPENSION DETAILS IN THIS MANUAL ARE
SUGGESTIONS ONLY. IF IN DOUBT AS TO THE CORRECT METHODS TO INSTALL THIS HEATER FOR
YOUR LOCAL CODES AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT INSTALL THE HEATER. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING
OFFICIALS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

WARNING: SEE PAGE 20 FOR VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS HEATER. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
THE CORRECT MODEL FOR THE INTENDED APPLICATION. IF IN DOUBT CONTACT THE FACTORY FOR
DETAILS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR OPERATION.
9.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to figures on page 11 to 15
Note: If unit is to be installed on a 25 degree tilt refer to page 11 for this type of installation.
1) Measure and locate holes to be drilled for mounting brackets into overhead beams or
support. The PH-40, PH-40 HO and PH-75 HO have two (2) mounting locations, one at each
end. The PH-50, 75, and 80 have a third located in the center of the unit. The PH-100 has 4
and the PH-125 has 5.
2) FOR RIDGID INSTALLATION: READ WARNING ON PAGE 9 FIRST.
When installing fasteners such as bolts, inserts, threaded rod, etc, it is suggested that the
fastener(s) are no less than 3/8 inch (.9525 cm) in diameter (two (2) per hanging point) and
must penetrate and be secured in the overhead material in such a way that the unit will not
be dislodged from the mounting location during normal use and operation, including wind
load. This is the responsibility of the installing contractor and if in doubt, they shall contact the
manufacturer of the fastener chosen to verify its use. (See WARNING on page 9)
3) Lift and support preassembled unit in a safe manner, and locate where heater is to be installed.
Install fasteners through hanging brackets (optional) into the mounting material (beam, support
etc.). Then attach heater to the brackets. PH-40, 40 HO & 75 HO are now mounted. In the case
of the PH-50 & 75, the last section will have to be installed to the mounted, preassembled, first
10’. (see item #5)
4) CHAIN INSTALLATION: DO NOT USE IN WINDY CONDITIONS - READ WARNING ON PAGE 9
FIRST.
Adequately secure hanging chains as mentioned in the above item #2. Drop chains to desired
elevation and attach heater to them utilizing two lengths per hanging point.
5) PH-50 & 75: Unassembled parts. Secure end cap to one end of the reflector by over lapping
reflector onto end cap % inch, (1.905 cm) (see page 13) and secure via self tapping screws.
6) Attach the reflector assembly to the 10’ (3m) section already mounted by overlapping the
opposite reflector end onto the hanger assembly by % inch. (1.905 cm). Secure hanger on end
cap end via fasteners into the previously drilled holes located in the beam, support etc. Secure
opposite end of reflector to hanger via self tapping screws.
7) Install radiant tube by positioning three (3) inch (7.62 cm) end into end cap from below, and
butting the other end to the previously installed section. Secure clamp with self tapping
screws (see figure 9 page 13). For PH-50 tube slides over the first 10’ (3m) section tube. Secure
with screws.
8) Install decorative grille (2 - 5’ (1.53m) pieces) onto lip of reflector in a similar fashion used to
install 2x4 ceiling panels. If need be, remove some of the screws securing the reflector to the
hanger and/or end cap, spread reflector to facilitate installation, being careful not to damage
reflector, install grille and re-secure the reflector.
