Hang the Heater
Residential garages come in a variety of sizes, shapes, styles and
methods of construction. Because of all these variables, it is not
possible
to include mounting hardware with the MHT / HST
he
ater. Although wooden rafters and joists are the most common
overhead
structural members in residential garage applications,
other structural configurations are also illustrated below.
In
the typical suspension methods shown below, lengths of chain are
sh
own as a means of lowering the heater. However, for most
residential applications it may not be necessary to lower the heater.
Instead,
it may be possible to screw hook-type hardware into the
un
derside of a beam. The exposed hook could directly engage one
of
the two mounting holes in the front fixed hanger, while another
hook
could engage in one of the three suspension loops of the
rear movable hanger.
Which
ever method of suspension is selected, the two required
suspension
points must be capable of supporting a minimum
of
150 pounds each.
Heater Orientation
The MHT / HST tube heater may be installed in any of the three
orie
ntations indicated below. Select the heater orientation that is best
suited
for the location that you have chosen for your heater.
• Horizontally
• Tilted 45° Right
• Tilted 45° Left
NOTE: If the heater is going to be vented through the roof,
be sure to carefully review the roof option installa-
tion portion of this section. Ensure that the selected
mounting site will satisfy the measurement param-
eters (vent length not to exceed 25 feet) described in
that section.
Horizontal Installation
1. Using S-hooks, attach two equal lengths of 2/0 chain, or
equi
valent, to the two uppermost holes in the front fixed
hange
r.
2.
Slip the free end of both chains onto another S-hook, as shown.
3. The uppermost S-hook can now be installed on the suspension
hard
ware that you have installed for suspension of the unit. An
additional
length of chain may also now be installed, if required,
to lower the heater.
NOTE: The hook portion of hook-type suspension hardware
may directly engage the two holes in the front fixed
hanger and the center loop of the rear moveable
hanger.
45° Tilted Installation
1. Determine if the heater is going to be tilted left, or tilted right.
The
front and rear suspension points selected must be on the
same
side (left or right) of the heater as shown below.
2.
Attach suspension hooks and/or chains to the selected
suspension
points of the heater.
