WARNING
Suspension Hazard
Mounting kits and hanging supports must
be able to withstand a minimum working
load of 75 lbs (33 kg). Failure of the
supports can result in death.
Local codes regarding head clearance
requirement must be observed.
Heater Mounting and Support
Heaters shall be mounted in a fixed position independent
of gas and electrical supply line. Hangers and brackets
shall be of noncombustible material.
Heaters subject to vibration shall be provided with
vibration isolating hangers.
Suitable materials for hanging infrared heaters are steel
pipe, steel channel, or fabricated hangers of at least 16-
gage material. Hanger and brackets must be secured with
adequate anchor to a secure structure using good
building practices. Additional bracing to protect against
seismic forces may be required in seismically active
areas.
Gas Piping
1. A minimum pipe size of ½” is required for inlet
piping. A ½” leaver handled shut-off gas cock should
be installed within 6 feet of the appliance for
servicing the unit.
2. Check with local and state plumbing and heating
codes regarding sizing of gas lines.
3. All gas pipe connections to the heater(s) must be
sealed with a gas pipe compound resistant to
liquefied petroleum gases.
4. Installation of a drip leg or sediment trap in the gas
supply line going to each heater is required to
minimize the possibility of any loose scale or dirt
within the gas supply line from entering the heater’s
control system.
5. When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open
flame. Use a soap and water solution.
6. For gas supply line pressures in excess of ½ psig,
consult the factory or your local representative.
7 Installation of 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tapping
accessible for test gage connections is required
upstream of the gas supply connections to the
heater.
Electrical
1. The Power Adapter included with provides 7.5 VDC to
the heater. The 24 inch wire connect to the main
heater model is two slide connectors. A low voltage
wire, such as thermostat wire, can be used to extend
the wire up to 50 feet.
2. If any of the original wire supplied with the appliance
must be replaced, it must be replaced with wiring
material having a temperature rating of at least 105
degrees Centigrade.
