SUSPENDING THE SYSTEM
Inadequate or improper suspension of the tube heater can result in collapse of the system,
property damage, and personal injury or death. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that
the hardware and structural supports from which the heater is suspended are sound and of
adequate strength to support the weight and expansion forces of the heater.
Consider that the heater will expand in length as much as ½ inch (12.7) or more for every 10 ft (3
m) of system length. Typically, the greater the firing rate, the greater the expansion.
Survey the available structural supports, considering the system configuration and heat
requirements of the area to establish the optimum heater location. Locating a heater directly
under joists or beams, or installing supplemental steel support rail or angle iron can substantially
reduce labour and materials. Hardware with a minimum 60 lbs (27 kg) workload must be used at
each heater suspension point. Connect the structure using typical hardware as illustrated below or
by other mechanically sound means.
REFLECTOR EXTENSIONS
Reflector extensions may be installed on one side or both sides of the reflector. Reflector
extensions are 10 ft long x 9”. Drill 3 holes and insert S hooks.
