1. Be sure the means of suspension is adequate to support

the weight of the unit (see page 17 for unit weights).

2. For proper operation, the unit must be installed in a level

horizontal position.

3. Clearances to combustibles as specified in Table 4.1 must be

strictly maintained.

4. All standard units are shipped fully boxed. Larger units are

also supplied with skid supports on the bottom of the box.

The larger units may be lifted from the bottom by means of a

fork lift or other lifting device only if the shipping support skids

are left in place and the forks support the whole depth of the

unit. If the unit must be lifted from the bottom for final

installation without the carton in place, be sure to properly

support the unit over its entire length and width to prevent

damage. When lifting units, make sure the load is balanced.

5. Propeller models have 4 mounting holes.The units can be

mounted with 3/8"-16 threaded rod as follows:

 •Oneachpieceofthreadedrodused,screwanutadistance

of about 1" onto the end of the threaded rods that will be

screwed into the unit heater.

 •Placeawasherovertheendofthethreadedrodandscrew

the threaded rod into the unit heater weld nuts on the top of

the heater at least 5 turns, and no more than 10 turns.

Tighten the nut first installed onto the threaded rod to

prevent the rod from turning.

 •Drillholesintoasteelchannelorangleironatthesame

center-line dimensions as the heater that is being installed.

The steel channels or angle iron pieces need to span and

be fastened to appropriate structural members.

 •Cutthethreadedrodstothepreferredlength,placethem

through the holes in the steel channel or angle iron and

secure with washers and lock nuts or lock washers and

nuts. A double nut arrangement can be used here instead of

at the unit heater (a double nut can be used both places but

is not required).

 •Donotinstallstandardunitheatersabovethemaximum

mounting height shown in Table 15.1.

NOTE: A pipe hanger adapter kit, shown in Figure 5.1 is

available as an accessory. One kit consists of two drilled 3/4"

IPS pipe caps and two 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" capscrews to facilitate

threaded pipe suspension. Two kits would be required for

PTP units.

UNIT MOUNTING

Figure 5.1 - Unit Heater Suspension Methods

CAUTION

1. Do not install units below 7' measured from the bottom of

the unit to the floor in commercial applications (unless

unit is properly guarded to provide user protection from

moving parts).

2. Be sure no obstructions block air intake and discharge

of unit heaters.

3. The minimum distance from combustible material is

based on the combustible material surface not exceeding

160°F. Clearance from the top of the unit may be required

to be greater than the minimum specified if heat damage,

other than fire, may occur to materials above the unit

heater at the temperature described.

4. Allow 18" clearance at rear (or 12" beyond end of motor

at rear of unit, whichever is greater) and access side to

provide ample air for proper operation of fan.
