INSTALLATION

DANGER
The installer is responsible for installing the field-supplied structure suspension point hardware and for adequately supporting the weight of the heater.
WARNING
The heaters are designed so that the tube suspension points can be adjusted slightly to adapt to the structure. Each straight tube must have at least one suspension point. Straight tubes downstream and adjacent to an L-tube or U-tube require two suspension points.
CAUTION
A minimum of 12 inches (305 mm)—the total length of chain, S-hook, and/or turnbuckle—is required between the tubes and the structure suspension points.

Suspend heater under installation manual provided with heater using S-hooks, chain, and turnbuckles (as necessary) at all suspension points.
To install turnbuckles:
- Remove the right-hand thread eyebolt from the turnbuckle (see Figure 1) and install the hex nut on the eyebolt with the nut’s teeth away from the eye.
  CAUTION
- DO NOT tighten (lock) the hex nuts against the turnbuckles until the system is leveled. Locking the hex nuts against the turnbuckles is required to prevent the turnbuckles from turning when the system expands.
- Thread eyebolt back into turnbuckle. DO NOT tighten (lock) the hex nut against the turnbuckle at this point.
- Level the heater and THEN tighten (lock) the hex nut against each turnbuckle.
