1. Installation Requirements.
1.1Health and Safety
A.Heater is intended for heating non-residential indoor spaces and should only be installed where flammable gases or vapors are not generally present.
B.Heaters may be suspended either horizontal or at any angle. See section 1.3 for clearance dimensions.
C.The installation must conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
D.The unit shall be electrically grounded in accordance with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.
Doc No 700101 (06-15), Page 2
E.The heater may be installed in aircraft hangars in accordance with the Standard for
Aircraft Hangars, ANSI/NFPA 409 and in automotive garages when installed in accordance with the Standard for Parking
Structures, ANSI/NFPA 88A, or the Standard for Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA 88B, or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, and are so marked. Ensure that minimum clearances will be maintained to vehicles parked below the heater.
F.The standard heaters are approved for installations between 0 - 2000ft (0 - 610m) for the US and 0 - 4500 ft (1370m) for Canada. Conversion kits are available on installations above these heights in the USA.
G.Massachusetts Requirement: If the heater is being installed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this unit must be installed by a licensed plumber or licenced gas fitter.
1.2Heater Suspension
Attachment to the heater support lugs should be made by D shackle. The hanging attachments to overhead steelwork etc. must be purpose made to sound engineering practice or supplied by others. They must be adequately fixed and designed to carry the whole weight of the heater. In the event of suitable roof steelwork being unavailable, additional steelwork should be fitted to enable vertical hangers to be used for suspending the heaters.
These methods are illustrated in Figure 1. If there are any doubts as to the strength or suitability of roof steelwork to which heaters are to be suspended, please refer to a Consultant, Architect or owner of the building.
It is recommended that the heater is raised to its final position once the assembly of the tube/ bracket/reflector has been completed. Longer tube assemblies may be raised in more than one sub-assembly with final tube connection made in the air.
WARNING:
If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, this product could expose you to substances in fuel or from fuel combustion which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

1.3Clearance to Combustibles.
Minimum clearance to combustibles are shown in Table 1 below.
IMPORTANT:
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above room temperature. Building material with a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc.) may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.

1.4Gas Connection and Supply
WARNING: Before installation, check that the local distribution conditions, nature of gas and pressure, and adjustment
of the appliance are compatible.
The gas connection on the heater is ½” N.P.T internal thread.
Injector sizes and manifold pressure for the burners are shown in the table 4. The gas supply piping and connections must be installed so that the minimum pressure stated is achieved.
A gas shut off valve and union should be fitted in the gas supply line close to the heater and a ⅛” N.P.T plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, provided immediately upstream of the appliance gas inlet.
It is essential to provide some flexibility in the final gas connection by use of an approved flexible gas connector. See Fig 4.
Take care when making a gas connection to the heater not to apply excessive turning
force to the internal controls.
Care must be taken to observe the minimum pipe bend diameter (minimum 10” - 250mm, maximum 14” - 350mm) & pipe expansion distance (minimum 1⅛” - 28mm, maximum 3¾”) - 95mm.
The correct installation as shown will allow for approx 4” of movement due to
expansion.
Figure 3. Correct orientation of Ball Valve
Gas Flow
Gas Flow
Figure 4. Correct Installation of Flexible
Gas Connection
WARNING: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD - It is essential to provide some flexibility in the final gas line connection by use of an approved flexible connector as shown in the drawings. Expansion of the radiant pipe occurs with each firing cycle causing the burner to move with respect to the gas line. This can result in a gas leak producing an unsafe
condition.
Doc No 700101 (06-15), Page 6
* Connector must be certified for use on a radiant tube type infrared heater and must comply with Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24/CSA 6.10 or with the Standard for Elastomeric Composite Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA 8.1.
For heaters up to 150,000Btu/h, ½” ID x 24” long For heaters above 150,000Btu/h, ¾” ID x 36” long

NOTES:-
Power On light is permanently illuminated when 120V / 60 Hz AC external supply is connected to burner.
Additional wiring is required to install an optional extra thermostat and / or time clock.
If no thermostat is required then a jumper is fitted between terminals R and W1. In this configuration the burner will continuously fire until the 120V power supply is disconnected.
Wire specification:- 18 AWG (1.0mm²), Tri-rated, 105°C
If any of the original wire as supplied with the appliance must be replaced, it must be replaced with wiring material having a temperature rating of at least 220°F/105°C

1.6 Vent Requirements and Details
1.6.1 Unvented units
Heaters may be installed unvented providing the governing building codes are met and consideration is properly given to possibilities of condensation on cold surfaces.
Installation shall meet the following requirements when unvented:
•Natural or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust at least 4 CFM per 1000 BTU per hour input of installed heaters.
•Combustion gasses shall not impinge on combustible materials.
1.6.2 Vertical venting
The heater can be installed with a vertical vent.
All vent piping should be adequately supported from the building structure and terminated with an approved terminal. The maximum recommended vent length is 25ft (7.6m) with a maximum of two elbows. All connections should be properly sealed. refer fig 7a
1.6.3 Horizontal venting
Individual units can be vented horizontally through side walls. Recommended terminals are Part Numbers 111848 for 4” and 111850 for 6”.
Distances from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, openable windows and building openings, consistent with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
Maximum length of vent is 25ft (7.6m) with two - 90° elbows.
Runs of 12ft (3.6m) or shorter can use 4” (101mm) dia. vent. Runs over 12ft (3.6m) should use 6” (152mm) vent pipe.
An approved clearance thimble is required when the flue pipe passes through combustible materials. Follow the requirements of the thimble and/or vent pipe manufacturer.
Standard vent terminals must extend at least 6” (152mm) from the wall and at least
Doc No 700101 (06-15), Page 10
24” (609mm) from any combustible overhang. This protects the building material from degradation by the vent gasses.
Vent joints should be sealed and secured according to the vent manufacturers instructions. Should condensation occur the vent should be shortened or insulated.
The terminal should be at least 3ft (0.91m) from any air intake to the building.
The vent terminal must be installed at a suitable height above the ground to prevent blockage by snow.
1.7Fresh Air Intake
Whenever the heater is installed in locations where airborne dust or other pollutants are present, a fresh air supply should be ducted to the burner.
If the heater is equipped with ducted combustion air, the vent terminal must be at least 3ft (0.91m) away from the air inlet and located higher than the inlet.
A fresh air duct of 4” (101mm) dia. should be installed from the fresh air to the air intake connection on the fan housing. A flexible jointing piece should be installed at the fan connection with hose clamps to facilitate expansion and contraction.
The maximum recommended length air duct is 25ft (7.6m) and the maximum number of elbows is two. The minimum length is 18” (456mm).
The location of the fresh air duct inlet must be where it will receive dust free clean air. An inlet cap with bird screen must be fitted at the inlet of the duct. If the duct inlet is located above the roof the underside of the inlet terminal must be at least 2ft (0.61m) above roof level (or above projected snow load) and at least 10” (254mm) above any projection on the roof within 7ft (2.1m) of the inlet. Intake pipe, fittings and sealant are not furnished by the manufacturer. Refer fig 7c & d.
Note the vent terminal must NOT be installed below the fresh air intake, and should have a minimum separation distance of 36” from the air intake.
Note The vent terminal should be installed so as to be in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet of the appliance.
Figure 7.a Vertical Venting.
Figure 7.b Horizontal Venting (plan view shown).
Approved clearance thimble is required when the flue pipe extends through combustible materials. Follow the requirements of the thimble and/or Category III vent pipe manufacturer.
Note The vent terminal should be installed so as
to be in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet of the appliance.
Note the vent terminal must NOT be installed below the fresh air intake, and should have a minimum separation distance of 36” from the air intake.

2.2Assembly Notes.
Please read these assembly notes in conjunction with the correct assembly drawings (figs 9 to 19).
2.2.1 Tubes
Each heating unit has two types of emitter tube. For details of the tube types and position please refer to the table (page 13 of this instruction manual).
Identify and position tubes on saw horses. For aesthetics it is advisable to position all tube seams facing down. Position coupling fastener so that these cannot be seen from beneath the heater.
Mark out the position of the bracket centers from the dimensions shown on the assembly drawings.
2.2.2 Turbulator Strips and Burner
Inserts
Ensure that the correct turbulator or burner insert is fitted, as this could void your warranty if they are incorrectly fitted or omitted when necessary.
2.2.2.1 Turbulator Strips
Turbulator strips should be inserted (when required) into the correct tube exactly as indicated in the assembly drawings.
Locate turbulator strip sections. Install the first turbulator strip into the open end of the last tube (only after it has been suspended and connected to the previous tube.)
Interlock the next section of turbulator strip as shown in the diagram below.
