3.  The maximum allowable length of vent pipe is 60 ft.  This length includes the 

combination of inlet air vent for combustion and exhaust venting.  The RADIANT 
TUBE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MEASUREMENT.  For every 90-degree bend in 
the system, 5 ft. must be deducted from the allowable total. 

4.  W hen venting through a combustible wall or roof type “B” vent must be used for that 

portion of the vent that passes through the wall or roof.  FOR W ALL VENTING THE 
MANUFACTURER’S APPROVED VENT TERMINAL MUST BE USED.  THE USE 
OF ANY W ALL VENT TERMINAL OTHER THAN THAT SUPPLIED BY THE 
MANUFACTURER W ILL VOID W ARRANTIES.  THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS 
NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES CREATED BY USING OTHER VENT 
TERMINALS. 

5.  All vent pipe used with a slip fit connection must be mechanically secured and all 

vents must be supported every 3 ft. 

6.  Vent pipe of single wall construction shall not run through unheated spaces unless 

insulated. 

7.  All vent pipes longer than 10 ft. must be insulated or have insulated type vent 

material. 

8. 

Vents for products of combustion shall not terminate less than 3 ft. from a 
combustion air inlet of any other appliance, less than 3 ft. from a building opening or 
be directly above a gas utility meter or service regulator.  On “U” model heaters the 
vent terminal shall not be closer

 than 4 inches from the combustion air inlet. 

9.  Vent terminals shall not be located less than 3 ft. above grade. 
10. Horizontal vent systems shall slope downwards not less than ¼ inch per foot from 

the start of the vent system to the vent terminal. 

11. W hen installed in a large and adequately ventilated space (agricultural building used 

only for brooding purposes) the heater may be installed un-vented without 
interlocking, and may be operated by discharging the combustion products directly 
into the space, subject to the approval of the authority having jurisdiction and 
provided that the maximum input of the appliance does not exceed 20 BTUH/ft3 (0.2 
kW /m3) of the space in which the heater is located. An appliance designed to 
produce a controlled atmosphere need not be subject to these conditions. 

WARNING 

This heater will expand in length as it heats up. It is a normal condition that 

during heat-up and cool-down a tube heater will expand and contract. Allowances for 
heater expansion must be made in the gas connection, venting and combustion air 
ducting. Improper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in property 
damage, injury or death. 

The BTU input and the tube length determine the overall expansion that occurs. 

A typical infrared tube installation will expand toward both the burner and the vent 
end. 
 

To allow heater expansion the gas supply must be installed using

 
In the USA: a stainless steel flexible gas connector certified for use on an 

infrared radiant tube heater (ANSI Z21.24 CSA 6.10) 

In Canada: a Type 1 hose connector (CAN/CGA 8.1). Also the flue vent, and 

combustion air intake (if used) must be installed in such a manner that the normal 
expansion of the heater will be accommodated.
