Pedestal mounted enclosure is not recommended for use with
steam systems.
1. Per the mechanical drawings, layout the pedestal brackets
based on the enclosure lengths of the run. For enclosures 2'-0"
to 5'-0" lengths, two (2) brackets will be required. These
brackets should start and end 6" to 12" in from each end of the
enclosure. For enclosures 5'-6" to 8'-0" lengths, three (3)
brackets will be required. The third bracket will be centered
between the two outer brackets.
2. Once the bracket locations along the run have been
determined, secure them to the fl oor with the specifi ed
fasteners (by others). The rear vertical bracket leg should be a
minimum of 2" from the wall. Depending on the fl atness of the
fi nished fl oor, it has to be determined which (if any) of the
brackets need to be shimmed to allow for a level and straight
enclosure installation. An enclosure support bar will be
installed between the two vertical legs of the pedestal bracket
after the element(s) have been installed.
3. Locate fi nned tube element where identifi ed on mechanical
drawings. Place element slide cradle supports onto element
where brackets are located. The legs of the element cradles
are tapered slightly outward so that a friction or compression fi t
will occur and hold them in place when pressing the cradles into
place between the element fi ns. Place element and element
slide cradles onto the ball bearings in the bracket and make
sweat connections. For steel element, apply specifi ed pipe
dope or sealing tape for threaded connections with the required
threaded fi ttings. Check submittal drawings to confi rm
dimension out from wall to center of element and up from
fi nished fl oor. Once the elements are connected into the
heating system, a standard pressure leak test should be
conducted as specifi ed by the Mechanical Engineer. For
copper tube elements, fl ush the loop or series with system
water after soldering to neutralize the remaining fl ux
material and prevent corrosive action and resulting
pinhole leaks.
4. When the enclosure run is laid out wall to wall with the supply
and return tube running through the wall, it is typical to start and
fi nish the run of enclosure with a “Wall Sleeve". This over
lapping accessory provides for make-up in the run where the
wall-to-wall dimension does not coincide with the standard
enclosure lengths. The slip-jointed enclosures interlock with
each other along the run. Inside or outside corners are
universal with the pedestal style enclosure.
5. When enclosure is installed short of wall with supply and return
lines coming out of the fl oor, end caps will be used to terminate
the enclosure run at each end. For JVB-PM & 2PM enclosures,
the end caps provided are either left hand or right hand and
interlock with the enclosure slip-joints.
6. If access is needed to air vents or shut off valves, it is
recommended that a two (2) foot piece of enclosure is installed
in the run where the device is located. This piece of enclosure
will act as a valve compartment or access panel.
MAINTENANCE
Before each heating season, remove accessories and enclosure
panel to inspect fi nned tube elements for accumulation of dust or
other debris that may accumulate and block airfl ow between fi ns.
Remove dust and debris from coil fi ns with a vacuum cleaner or
compressed air. Inspect for leaks or areas of corrosion. It should
not be required, but if necessary, place a drop of lubricant
(machine oil) onto each ball bearing (where applicable) located in
the water brackets or bracket mounted hangers. Replace cover
and accessories.
