for curb or flat mount. Housing construction should be suitable for outdoor or indoor installation.

An observation port shall be located on the exterior of the unit for observation of the main flame and pilot flame.
All controls, gas valves, modulating controls and electrical components shall be mounted within the burner
vestibule. The burner vestibule shall be an integral part of the unit and not extend outside the exterior casing of
the unit and not exposed to the main air stream.

The vestibule full-size door shall provide easy access to controls and gas-train components. Blower door shall
provide easy access to blower, motor and drives. Access doors shall be provided on both front and backside of
unit providing full access to every part of the unit.

Internal ridged board 1" x 1.5” foil face installation shall be installed on roof, walls and base of casing.

reinforced to accommodate the blower assembly and burner.

Blower: Blower(s) shall be forward-curved, centrifugal, Class I or II (depending on application requirements),
double width, double inlet, constructed G-90 galvanized steel. Unit shall have a heavy-duty, solid-steel shaft.
Wheels shall be balanced in two planes and done in accordance with AMCA standard 204-96, Balance Quality
and Vibration Levels for Fans. The wheel blades shall be aerodynamically designed to minimize turbulence,
increase efficiency and reduce noise. The wheel blades shall be securely attached to the wheel inlet ring. The
wheel shall be firmly attached to the fan shaft with setscrews and keys. The blower assembly shall be isolated
from the fan structure with vibration isolators.

Blower capacity shall be _____ CFM at 70 degrees F standard air, ____ external static press.
External Static is the sum of duct loss, plus duct component static. All blowers shall be tested and set at rated

speed after being installed in the factory-assembled unit.

Motor and Motor Compartment: Motors shall be heavy-duty ball bearing type and furnished at the specified
voltage, phase and enclosure. Motor mounting plate shall be constructed of heavy gauge galvanized steel and
shall be designed to provide easy adjustment of the belt tension. Blower motor shall be suitable for operation on
_______ volts, _______ cycle, _____ phase power. Blower motor shall be a ______________________ HP
motor, Open Drip Proof.

Shaft and Bearings: Shafts shall be precision ground and polished. Heavy duty, pre-lubricated bearings shall be
selected for a minimum (L50) life in excess of 200,000 hours of operation at maximum cataloged operating
speed. They shall be designed for, and individually tested, specifically for use in air handling applications.

Belts and Drives: Belts shall be oil and heat resistant, non-static, grip-notch type. Drives shall be cast type,
precision machined and keyed, and secured attached to the fan and motor shafts. Fan operating speed shall be
factory set using adjustable pitch motor pulleys. Blower drives shall be fully adjustable. All drives shall be a
minimum of 2 grooves above 2 HP.

Burner: The gas burner shall be a direct-fired, draw-through type, sized to provide an output of ________
BTU/hr using natural or propane gas at an inlet-supply pressure to the unit of _____ inches water column
(7" w.c. minimum).

The burner shall be capable of heating the entire air supply from _____F° to _____F° ( ______ degrees F
temperature rise). The burner shall burn over its entire length at all times when the system is in operation.

The burner shall have non-clogging, 4302B stainless-steel combustion baffles attached to a ductile cast-iron
gas-supply section with no moving parts to wear out or fail. The burner shall be capable of 92% combustion
efficiency with a maximum turndown ratio of 30 to 1.

The gas burner shall be furnished with a pilot package arranged so that the pilot flame lights the burner with
instantaneous ignition. Pilot assembly includes a flame rod, spark rod and pilot, which is automatically ignited by
a 6,000 volt ignition transformer. A flame-rod rectification system shall be used to prove pilot and main flame.

Rear access doors or a removable lid will provide complete access to burner and pilot assembly.
Burner profile plates shall be self-adjusting to operate across the complete CFM range of each model heater.

Every unit shall be designed for Variable Air Volume capabilities.

Gas Equipment

All gas equipment should conform to local code requirements. All gas manifold components shall be piped and
wired at the factory.
Components include:

• Pilot gas shut-off valve

• Pilot-gas regulator

• Pilot-gas valve

• Main - gas shut-off valve

• Main - gas regulator

• two solenoid valves

• Modulating - gas valve

• Burner

Optional: High-gas pressure regulator

Line and Manifold pressure gauges come standard on the unit and are installed at the factory before shipment. The Line
pressure gauge will ensure proper pressure from the incoming gas line and is capable of measuring from 0 to 35” wc.
The Manifold pressure gauge is installed after the combination gas valve to ensure proper pressure into the burner and
is capable of measuring -5 to 15” wc. During startup, the Manifold pressure gauge will also help to set high and low fire
