HE-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL
SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon LLC
recommends the installer contact a Local Building
inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.
• To use the information given in a layout drawing
and in the manual together with the cited codes
and regulations to perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the
clearances to combustibles.
• To furnish all needed materials not furnished as
standard equipment.
• Plan location of supports. Locate a support near
all elbows.
• To provide access to burners for servicing on all
sides and for burner removal.
• To provide the owner with a copy of this installation, operation and service manual.
• To never use heater as support for a ladder or
other access equipment and never hang or sus-
pend anything from heater.
• To ensure there is adequ
ate air circulation around
the heater and to supply air for combustion, venti-
lation and distribution in accordance with local
codes.
• To safely and adequately install heater using
materials with a minimal working load of 75 lbs
(33 kg).
• To ensure the heater is placed in an approved
application.
• Be sure the heater has a downward pitch of 1/2"
per 20' (1 cm per 6 m) away from the burner.
• A minimum of 10' (3 m) of tubing on HE-60/80 and
a minimum of 15' (4.6 m) of tubing on HE-100/
125/150/175 are required between the burner and
the first elbow.
• Indoor hanging: Provide a suspension with verti-
cal length of chain or swinging rod which has at
least 2" (5 cm) of horizontal travel for each burner
in a straight run. Be sure the suspension system
is sufficiently flexible to accomodate thermal
expansion, which occurs as the system heats up,
See Page 16, Figure 14.
• Outdoor hanging: Chain should not be used when
installing the unit outdoors. Use a suspension
system which minimizes the lateral movement or
swing which might damage reflectors. See Page
17, Figure 15.
•Washbays/car washes: The heater must not be
exposed to the direct spray from a pressure
washer. To reduce the possibility of spray enter-
ing the burner, utilize an outside combustion air
supply. See Page 40, Section 8.12.
The heater has been extensively tested under
extreme conditions and is highly resistant to the out-
door elements. Care must be taken to design the
proper hanging brackets and suspension (See Page
17, Figure 15) for the heater in high wind areas.
2.1 Wall Tag
A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as a
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and
the importance of the required clearances to combustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon LLC or
your ROBERTS GORDON
®
independent distributor
to obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling off the
backing of the adhesive strips on the rear surface
and position the tag on a wall near the heater’s controls (e.g. thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON
®
Con-
troller).
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on
the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may
affix this copy on the wall near the heater.
Know your model number and installed configuration.
Model number and installed configuration are found
on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and
Service Manual. See Page 7, Figure 3 through Page
10, Fi g ure 1 2 . Write the proper clearance dimensions
in permanent ink according to your model number
and configuration in the open spaces on the tag.

2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing
corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in product damage.
Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are
undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the
responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the
contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner identifies
the presence of combustible materials, corrosive
chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere
in the premises.
SECTION 2: INSTALLER R ESPONSIBILITY
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen
elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning
agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air
supply of the burner, the life span of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must
be provided to the burners whenever the presence of
these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if
the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All appliances must be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of the applicable standards and
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards
for installations in Public Garages, Aircraft Hangars,
etc. may be applicable.

HE-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and
vapors the minimum required clearances to
combustibles away from heater.
Some objects will catch fire or explode when
placed close to heater.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.
SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
3.1 Required Clearances to Combustibles
Clearances are the required distances that combusti-
ble objects must be away from the heater to prevent
serious fire hazards. Combustibles are materials that
may catch on fire and include common items such as
wood, paper, rubber, fabric, etc. Maintain clear-
ances to combustibles at all times for safety.
• Maintain clearances from swinging and overhead
doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, partitions,
storage racks, hoists, building construction, etc.
• In locations used for the storage of combustible
materials, signs must be posted to specify the
maximum permissible stacking height to maintain
required clearances from the heater to the combustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to the
heater thermostat. In the absence of a thermostat, signs must be posted in a conspicuous
location.
• Consult local Fire Marshal, Fire Insurance Carrier
or other authorities for approval of proposed
installation when there is a possibility of exposure
to combustible airborne materials or vapors.
• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum sus-
pension requirements on Page 16, Figure 14.
• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building
structure, be s
stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire
hazard.
ure that adequate sleeving and fire
Clearances for all heater models are located on the
burner of the heater and on Page 7, Figure 3 through
Page 10, Figure 12 in this manual. Check the clear-
ances on each burner for the model heater being
installed to make sure the product is suitable for your
application and the clearances are maintained. Read
and follow the safety guidelines below:
• Keep gasoline or other combustible materials
including flammable objects, liquids, dust or
vapors away from this heater or any other appli-
ance.
• The stated clearances to combustibles represents
a surface temperature of 90° F (50°C) above room
temperature. Building materials with a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, triply, etc) may be subject to degradation at lower
temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to
assure that adjacent materials are protected from
degradation.
• Maintain clearances from heat sensitive
equipment and workstations.
• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below
the heater.
