Hanging Hardware
Air Intake
 Guidelines |  Outside Air | |||
Combustion Air Requirements Combustion air may be supplied to the heater by indoor or outdoor means. If using combustion air intake from indoors, the required volume of the space must be a minimum of 50 ft3 per 1,000 BTU/h unless the building is of unusually tight construction. Non-contaminated outside air for combustion must be ducted to the heater if any of the following apply: • Chemicals such as chlorinated or fluorinated hydrocarbons (typical sources are refrigerants, solvents, adhesives, degreasers, paints, paint removers, lubricants, pesticides, etc.). • High humidity. • Contaminants such as sawdust, welding smoke, etc. • Negative building pressure. • Unusually tight construction where there is an air infiltration rate of less the 0.40 air changes per hour. | ||||

Venting
 Rooftop |  Sidewall |  Common Rooftop |  Common Sidewall |  Unvented |
General Venting Requirements The venting system for the heating system may terminate horizontally through a sidewall or vertically through the roof, and may be individually or commonly vented. Configuration of the vent termination determines the category type | ||||
Important Model Requirements: | ||||
• Do not exceed a maximum vent length of 20 ft. with two elbows, 25 ft. with one elbow, or 30 ft. with no elbows. • Maintain a minimum vent length of 3 feet. • Maintain a minimum of 12 inches of straight pipe from the flue outlet before any directional changes are made in the venting system. • The equivalent length for a 4 inch 90° elbow is 5 feet. • Avoid using more than two 90° directional changes in the venting system | ||||

Clearances to Combustibles
Clearance to Combustibles is defined as the minimum distance that must exist between the tube
surface, or reflector, and any combustible items (see Figure 1.1). It also pertains to the distance that
must be maintained from moving objects around the tube heater. When installing the tube heater system,
clearances to combustibles for the model tube heater and configuration must be maintained. Refer to Chart 1.1
to determine the required distances for your model.
Gas Requirements
Gas Supply
Important! Before connecting the gas supply to the burner control box:
• Verify that the heater’s gas type (as listed on the rating plate) matches that of your application.
• Check that the gas piping and service has the capacity to handle the total gas consumption of all heaters
being installed, as well as any other gas appliances being connected to the supply line.
• Check that the main gas supply line is of proper diameter to supply the required fuel pressures.
• If utilizing used pipe, verify that its condition is clean and comparable to a new pipe. Test all gas supply
lines in accordance with local codes.
•Test and confirm that inlet pressures are correct. Refer to the heater rating plate for gas type and the
required minimum and maximum pressures (see Chart 3.8). The gas supply pipe must be of sufficient
size to provide the required capacity and inlet pressure to the heater (if necessary, consult the local gas
company). Do not exceed the maximum allowed pressures for the heater, the space or the gas piping
system.
