HE-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY

The installer is responsible for the following:

•To install the heater, as well as the gas and elec- trical supplies, in accordance with applicable specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon LLC recommends the installer contact a Local Building inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.

•To use the information given in a layout drawing and in the manual together with the cited codes and regulations to perform the installation.

•To install the heater in accordance with the clearances to combustibles.

•To furnish all needed materials not furnished as standard equipment.

•Plan location of supports. Locate a support near all elbows.

•To provide access to burners for servicing on all sides and for burner removal.

•To provide the owner with a copy of this installa- tion, operation and service manual.

•To never use heater as support for a ladder or other access equipment and never hang or sus- pend anything from heater.

•To ensure there is adequate air circulation around the heater and to supply air for combustion, venti- lation and distribution in accordance with local codes.

•To safely and adequately install heater using materials with a minimal working load of 75 lbs (33 kg).

•To ensure the heater is placed in an approved application.

•Be sure the heater has a downward pitch of 1/2" per 20' (1 cm per 6 m) away from the burner.

•A minimum of 10' (3 m) of tubing on HE-60/80 and a minimum of 15' (4.6 m) of tubing on HE-100/ 125/150/175 are required between the burner and the first elbow.

•Indoor hanging: Provide a suspension with verti- cal length of chain or swinging rod which has at least 2" (5 cm) of horizontal travel for each burner in a straight run. Be sure the suspension system is sufficiently flexible to accomodate thermal expansion, which occurs as the system heats up, See Page 16, Figure 14.

•Outdoor hanging: Chain should not be used when installing the unit outdoors. Use a suspension

system which minimizes the lateral movement or swing which might damage reflectors. See Page 17, Figure 15.

•Washbays/car washes: The heater must not be exposed to the direct spray from a pressure washer. To reduce the possibility of spray enter- ing the burner, utilize an outside combustion air supply. See Page 40, Section 8.12.

The heater has been extensively tested under extreme conditions and is highly resistant to the out- door elements. Care must be taken to design the proper hanging brackets and suspension (See Page 17, Figure 15) for the heater in high wind areas.

2.1 Wall Tag

A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as a permanent reminder of the safety instructions and the importance of the required clearances to com- bustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon LLC or your ROBERTS GORDON® independent distributor to obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and position the tag on a wall near the heater’s con- trols (e.g. thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON® Con- troller).

A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may affix this copy on the wall near the heater.

Know your model number and installed configuration. Model number and installed configuration are found on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and Service Manual. See Page 7, Figure 3 through Page 10, Figure 12. Write the proper clearance dimensions in permanent ink according to your model number and configuration in the open spaces on the tag.
