Installation Procedure
NOTE: For either indoor or outdoor installation. Not for use in residential dwellings.
Take maximum advantage of the building upper structure, beams, joists, purlins, etc., from which to suspend the heater. There is no
unique sequence for installation of the tubing. On-site observation will usually reveal a logical sequence. Begin the installation at the most
critical dimension. This could save time. Watch for swinging doors, overhead cranes, car lifts etc. Reflectors and tubing can be installed as
you move along. Carefully adjust system pitch at each position to level the heater. Pitch down one-half inch in 20 feet (away from burner).
DON'T Pressure test the gas line using high pressure (greater than ½ PSIG) without closing the high-pressure shutoff cocks. Failure to do so will
result in damage to the burners.
DO
Familiarize yourself with local and national
codes.
Develop a planned procedure which will conserve material and labor on the job.
Check to see that all material and equipment is on the job before starting installation.
Allow for thermal expansion of the hot tube.
Install the gas connector only as shown in instructions (see Figure 14 on page 17).
Have slip joints where required between reflectors to keep them from buckling or coming apart.
Provide 1 sq. inch of free air opening to each 1,000 BTU/hr. of heater input (but not less than 100 sq. inches) in enclosed spaces. One
opening should be within 12 inches of the top and one within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosure.
HIGH ALTITUDE
Heaters may be fired at full input up to 2000 ft. (610m) above sea level. Above 2000 ft. (610m) a high altitude conversion kit may be required
to ensure proper burner performance, please consult the manufacturer. Be prepared to answer factory questions regarding: type of fuel for the
proposed appliance conversion, gas pressure available at site, and specific altitude at site. The conversion shall be carried out by a manufacturer's
authorized representative, in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer, provincial, or territorial authorities having jurisdiction and in
accordance with the requirements of the CSA B149.1 or CSA149.2 installation codes.
FIGURE 2: Heatstar AG Overview
Assemble the heater components as shown in Figures 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F and 2G. Optional reflector configurations are shown in Figure
1. Install appropriated suspension hardware, beam clamps, chain or rod at predetermined locations. Adjustment of chain length will provide
uniform pitch.
