INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTSINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The installation must conform to local building codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1. Heaters shall be
installed by a licensed contractor or licensed installer. Clearances to combustibles as outlined in this manual
should always be observed. In areas used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked
below the heater, NFPA54 requires that the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum permissible
stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.”
Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access
to the heater. Each installer shall use quality installation practices when locating the heater and must give
consideration to clearances to combustible materials, vehicles parked below, lights, overhead doors, storage
areas with stacked materials, sprinkler heads, gas and electrical lines and any other possible obstructions or
hazards. Consideration also must be given to service accessibility.

9.0) TYPICAL SUSPENSION METHODS
Burner must be secured to the mounting flange with nuts.
All materials used to suspend the heater must have a minimum working load
of 115 lbs.
All S Hooks must be crimped closed.
Never use the heater to support a ladder or other access equipment.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property damage.
SUSPENSION HAZARD
Various means of suspending the heater can be used. See the following drawings for typical examples.
1. Use only noncombustible materials for suspending hangers and brackets.
2. A minimum No. 2 chain with a working load limit of 115 lbs. is required.
3. Turnbuckles can be used with chains to allow leveling of the heater. All “S” hooks and eye bolts must be
manually crimped closed by the installer.
4. When using rigid means for heater suspension (rod, flat bar, etc.) provide sufficient lengths or swing joints to
compensate for expansion. See Figures b and c.
5. Heaters subject to vibration must be provided with vibration isolating hangers.
6. Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent
structure with adequate load capacity.
Mestek, Inc. recommends that the body sections be suspended using chains with turnbuckles. This will allow
slight adjustments after assembly and heater expansion/ contraction during operation.
If a “trapeze” method is used for tube support/hanger brackets (shown below), the minimum chain length for the
two connecting chains is 36” to minimize any vibration that might be generated by the burner box. If these
chains must be less than 36”, then do not use the trapeze method and, instead, use individual chains on each
tube support/hanger bracket.

10.0) ASSEMBLY OF TUBE SECTIONS
During field assembly of the heater body sections, the recommended procedure is as follows:
1. Before hanging heater sections, first determine the actual layout of the system (see Sections 7.0) & 8.0) for
details). Consideration must also be taken for flue pipe, fresh air ducting, gas piping, clearances to
combustibles, etc. before hanging heater. Typical suspension methods are shown in Section 9.0).
2. Hang each tube section individually. DO NOT attach the heater tube sections together on the ground and
attempt to hang the entire system.
3. In all configurations, the burner box must be connected directly to either a) the 12-radial hole flange of the
10 ft. aluminized steel starting body section (for 10 ft., 20 ft., and 30 ft. systems) or b) the 6-hole flange of
the 10 ft. alumi-therm steel starting body section (for 40 ft., 50 ft., 60 ft., and 70 ft. systems.
4. Assemble a tube support/hanger bracket 4” from the end of the heat exchanger tube having the mounting
flange. Align the tube such that the welded seam is facing down toward the ground.

1. Connect to the supply tank or manifold in accordance with the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
Z223.1), and local building codes. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation
is made. (In Canada, refer to the latest edition of CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.)
2. Check that the gas fuel on the burner rating plate matches the fuel for the application.
3. Check that the gas supply piping has the capacity for the total gas consumption of the heaters and any other
equipment connected to the line.
4. Check that the calculated supply pressure with all gas appliances and heaters operating will not drop below
the minimum supply pressure required for these heaters. Check inlet supply pressures on Section 14.0).
5. All gas supply lines must be located in accordance with the required clearances to combustibles from the
heater as listed on the clearances label of the heater and Section 4.0) of this manual.
6. Pipe joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
7. Tube heaters will expand/contract during operation. Where local codes do not prohibit, a CSA or U.L.
approved flexible connector supplied with this heater is required for connections between the rigid piping
and the heater. A union should be installed before the burner box inlet. An approved shut off valve should
be installed within 6 feet of the union.
8. The gas pipe, flexible hose and connections must be self-supporting. The gas pipe work must not bear any of
the weight of the heater or any other suspended assembly.

1. When venting the heater to outside of building through a roof, use single-wall metal pipe. This is to be
constructed of galvanized sheet metal or other approved noncombustible corrosion-resistant material as
allowed by state or local codes.
2. A vent passing through a combustible roof shall extend through an approved clearance roof thimble.
Double-wall, Type B vent must be used for the portion of the vent system which passes through the
combustible roof. An approved vent cap must be attached to end of the flue. Consideration should be made
for anticipated snow depth.
3. The maximum equivalent length of vent pipe should be carefully observed. A safety switch in the heater is
designed to shut the heater off before excessive flue restriction causes bad combustion. Refer to the Vent
Sizing Table for maximum vent lengths and vent pipe diameter.
4. Joints between sections of piping shall be fastened by sheet metal screws or other approved means and
should be sealed to prevent leakage of flue gas into building. Aluminum or Teflon tape suitable for 550ºF
(3M Company tapes 433 or 363) or silicone sealant is recommended.
5. All portions of the vent pipe shall be supported to prevent from sagging (6’ spacing is recommended).
6. When the vent pipe passes through areas where the ambient temperature is likely to induce condensation
of the flue gases, the vent pipe should be insulated and a condensation drain should be provided.
7. Minimum clearance for single-wall flue pipe to combustible material shall be 6 inches. This may be reduced
when the combustible material is protected as specified in the National Fuel Gas Code or the authority
having jurisdiction.
8. Single-wall metal pipe shall not originate in any unoccupied attic or concealed space and shall not pass
through any attic, inside wall or concealed space, or through any floor. For the installation of a single-wall
metal pipe through an exterior combustible wall, refer to latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code or the
authority having jurisdiction.
9. A venting system shall terminate at least 3 ft. above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft.

When venting the heater horizontally through a combustible outside sidewall, the same requirements listed
previously for venting Vertical Through The Roof
Vertical Through The Roof apply except as follows:
Vertical Through The RoofVertical Through The Roof
1. A vent passing through a combustible wall must pass through an approved clearance thimble (Air-Jet #4VT
or Ameri-Vent #4EWT or other thimbles) that are listed by a nationally recognized testing agency; double
wall Type B vent must be used for the portion of the vent system which passes through the combustible
sidewall.
2. An approved vent cap (Breidert or equal) must be attached to the end of the vent pipe.
NOTE:
NOTE: To minimize problems associated with condensation in long horizontal runs, vent pipe can be insulated.
NOTE:NOTE:
3. Use the following correction factors to obtain the equivalent length when elbows are used:
• Subtract 10 ft. for each elbow beyond 15 ft. from the heater.
• Subtract 15 ft. for each elbow within 15 ft. of the heater.
4. Limit to (2) 90º elbows in the vent system.
5. When venting through a sidewall, the horizontal vent pipe shall fall 1/4 inch per 10 feet down from the start
of the vent system to the vent terminal. All portions of the vent pipe shall be supported to prevent sagging.
(6’ spacing is recommended)

•Less than 4 ft. (1.2m) below, 4 ft. (1.2m) horizontally from or 1 ft. (30cm) above any door, operable
window or gravity air inlet into any building. The bottom of the vent terminal shall be located at least 7
ft. (2.1m) above grade or above snow accumulation level as determined by local codes.
• Less than 3 ft. (0.9m) from a combustion air inlet.
• Less than 3 ft. (0.9m) from any other building opening or any gas service regulator.
• Less than 7 ft. (2.1m) above public walkways.
• Directly over areas where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or be harmful to the
operation of gas utility meters, regulators, relief valves, or other equipment. Building materials should
be protected from flue gases and condensate.
•Less than 18” (0.45m) when directly below a combustible overhang.
8. In regions of the country where prevailing winds are consistently higher than 40 mph, it may be necessary to
terminate the vent system above the roof level.

Requirements for venting of multiple heaters are the same as described for SINGLE HEATER VENTING
SINGLE HEATER VENTING except as
SINGLE HEATER VENTINGSINGLE HEATER VENTING
follows:
1. The common vent size and total vent height is normally determined by the number of heaters per common
vent, length of horizontal connector runs, and connector fall. Connector lengths should be as short as
possible and have a minimum 1/4 inch per foot rise. Without regard to connector fall and total vent height
due to many possible venting configurations, the following should be observed:
•Common vent pipe & vent connector diameter should be no less than that shown in the following Vent
Sizing Table.
• The connector length should be no more than 75% of the vertical portion of vent above the connector.
• Where possible, use a Y-connector to the common vent.
2. Material for connectors should be constructed of galvanized sheet metal or other approved noncombustible
corrosion resistant material as allowed by state or local codes. All common vent pipe should be insulated
flue pipe or double wall, Type B vent.
3. Avoid unnecessary bends. Limit to two (2) 90º elbows.

products of combustion and provide fresh air for efficient combustion. Where unvented heaters are used,
gravity or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust at least 4 CFM per 1,000 Btu/hr input
of installed heaters. Exhaust vents must be located at the highest point above and in the vicinity of the
heaters, and the inlet vents must be located below the level of the heaters. An exhaust hood (Part
#42924000) must be placed on the flue adapter collar located on the end of the last body section when
used unvented and must be mounted only in a downward position as shown.
must be mounted only in a downward position as shown.
must be mounted only in a downward position as shown.must be mounted only in a downward position as shown.
17.0) AIR FOR COMBUSTION
If indoor combustion air is to be supplied for a tightly enclosed area, one square inch of free area opening shall
be provided below the heater for each 1,000 Btu/hr of heater input. When outside air is used, the opening below
the heater shall be one square inch of free area for each 4,000 Btu/hr of heater input. In contaminated
atmospheres or high humidity areas, optional outside air for combustion is recommended. Adequate clearances
around the air inlet screen must be maintained at all times. In larger open areas of buildings, infiltration
normally is adequate to provide air for combustion.
17.1) DIRECT OUTSIDE AIR FOR COMBUSTION
Outside combustion air should be supplied directly to the heater when the building is subject to negative
pressure, or when contaminants or high humidity are present in the building air. These contaminants include
paints, solvents, corrosive vapors or any other foreign particles that may cause damage to the heater or result in
poor combustion.
Outside combustion air can be brought directly to the heater by a 4” diameter duct less than 50 ft. long or
equivalent (see table in Section 16.0) based on selected model and heat exchanger lengths). This is attached to
the 4” diameter starting collar (supplied with heater). The starting collar is fitted to the rear of the burner box
cabinet as shown below. An approved vent cap must be placed directly on the end of the outside combustion air
inlet pipe. The combustion air inlet should be not less than 3 ft. (0.9m), either vertically or horizontally, from the
flue vent termination. The air intake terminal must be located not less than 1 ft. (30cm) above grade. It is good
installation practice to supply combustion air from the same pressure zone as the vent outlet. Avoid bringing
combustion air to the heater from an attic space. There is no guarantee that adequate combustion air will be
supplied.
If the heater is installed less than 2 ft. from the ceiling, a combustion air inlet kit PN 44129510 must be
provided to allow for expansion/contraction of straight series tube heaters.
In colder climates, where necessary, insulate the outside combustion air duct. In high humidity applications, the
burner box should be sealed with silicone sealer.

1. Turn on the gas and electrical supply. Rotate the gas valve knob counter-clockwise to the “ON” position.
2. Set the thermostat to call for heat. The blower motor will energize.
3. Ignition should occur after the 15-second pre-purge.
4. If the burner fails to light, or flame is not detected during the first trial for ignition (a period of approximately
15 seconds) the gas valve is de-energized and the control goes through an inter-purge delay of
approximately 60 seconds before another ignition attempt. The control will attempt two additional ignition
trials before going into lockout, and the valve relay will be de-energized immediately. The blower will be
turned off following a post-purge period of approximately 30 seconds.
5. If the heater does not light, manually reset the thermostat or shut off power completely for 5 minutes before
attempting to relight.
6. To permanently shut down the heater, rotate the gas valve knob clockwise to the “OFF” position and turn
off the gas and electrical supply.

The chart below shows the sequence of operation for the normal operating cycle of the tube heaters when
connected to a permanent 120V power supply and the heater is turned on and off by a remote 24V thermostat.
(Electrical connection diagram C).
Form 43343350
Oct 2013 -47-
Page 49
Note: When the tube heater is operated by a thermostat interrupting the line voltage (120V) to the heater then
the post purge function is disabled.
If the flame is not sensed during sequence T3 then the burner will automatically begin re-ignition sequence T2.
The ignition sequence will be repeated three times with a 60 second inter-purge. If the flame is not reestablished the heater will go to lockout.

Flame current is the current which passes through the flame from the sensor to ground. The minimum flame
current necessary to keep the system from lockout is 0.7 microamps.
a. Turn off heater at thermostat.
b. Connect a meter (dc microammeter scale) in series with the ground lead as shown in the diagram. Connect
the meter as follows:
• Connect the black (negative) meter lead to the electronic control FC- terminal.
• Connect the red (positive) meter lead to the electronic control FC+ terminal.
c. Restart the system and read the meter. The flame sensor current must be steady and measure at least 0.7
microamps.
d. If the meter reads less than the minimum or if reading is unsteady:
• Make sure burner flame is capable of providing a good rectification signal.
• Make sure fasteners securing igniter/sensor are tightened to assure correct positions. DO NOT
