    CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES A general clearance of 18” (0.5 m) in every direction is recommended for servicing only around each Burner, Vacuum Pump, and End Vent Cap air supply (at the far end of each Radiant Branch) also to ensure adequate air flow in and around the Heating System. In addition to this it is very important to observe the minimum clearance to combustibles at all times to avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.

  • Page 11: Installation

    INSTALLATION Installation Sequence Generally, there is no unique sequence for installation of the burner or heat exchanger. A review of the job site will usually indicate a logical installation order. However, time and expense can be saved if installation is begun at the most critical dimension, watching for interference from overhead doors, cranes, auto lifts etc.
  • Page 12 INSTALLATION SEQUENCE A general ordered sequence for installations is provided below for reference.  Locate hanging chain at predetermined suspension points in the structure. It is required that the first hanging point be at the burner mounting flange, the second hanging point should be about 8’ feet to 9’...
  • Page 13 12” inch length welded link chain with a working load limit of at least 200 lbs. is recommended. SRP recommends and make available “quick links” for connecting chain. If any open ended “S” hooks and turnbuckles are used, the open ends must be closed to avoid unhooking chain with inadvertent contact.
  • Page 14 INSTALLATION SEQUENCE  Fasten the Reflector Hanger to the end of the hanging chain and place the Tube in the Hanger (as shown in Figure 7). Fasten the Reflector Hanger to the End of the Hanging Chain and Close the Open Ended "S" Hooks / Turnbuckles.
  • Page 15 INSTALLATION SEQUENCE Note: In order to obtain smoothly sealed coupling liners, tighten each of the coupling bolt/nut progressively and alternately. Tightening one nut completely before the other may result in an undesirable wrinkle in the liner. Note: For all coupling joints, ensure that the tube joint is in the center of the coupling length, and that the overlap joint of the coupling is above the centerline of the tube.

  • Page 28: Electrical Wiring

    ELECTRICAL WIRING General Requirements Heaters are normally controlled by line voltage or low voltage (24V) thermostats. Line voltage thermostats are wired directly to the line voltage supplying the heater while low voltage thermostats connect to the 24 Vac wiring in the control compartment of the heater. In all cases, heaters must be grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the US, and the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1 in Canada and must comply with all local requirements.
