* Indicate model number based on Btu/hr input (e.g. 50,000Btu/hr), emitter length (e.g. 15 ft.) . Control suffix (e.g. Natural Gas single stage input ) . The unit selection would be CB50-15-N5.
**Minimum recommended heights are intended as a guide only, as heaters may be mounted at various heights and angles. Mount heaters as high as possible. Minimums are shown as a guideline for human comfort and uniform enrgy distribution for complete building applications. Please consult your Space-Ray Representative for a detiled analysis of your particular heating requirements.

Floor Level Coverage – The above chart may be used as a guideline for primary radiation, i.e. the infrared pattern directly below the heater. In a well-insulated building, only 50% of the floor needs to be covered by the primary radiant pattern. Please be aware that the radiant energy generated by infrared heaters is not limited to the primary radiant pattern. There is additional radiant energy that is absorbed outside the primary area, a secondary radiant pattern. Since concrete is a very good conductor of heat, a reasonably uniform floor temperature eventually will be reached. The amount of time it takes to reach “thermal equilibrium” is in direct correlation to the distance between the heaters.

- Maintain 30″ side clearance with deflector
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Heaters can be common vented, vented or indirect vented. A vented installation must be vented outside the building with a flue pipe. An indirect vented installation requires a minimum ventilation flow of 4 CFM per 1000 BTU/hour of total installed heater capacity on natural gas by either gravity or power ventilation (4.18 CFM per 1000 BTU/hour on propane).
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation and service must be performed by a licensed contractor. The installation must conform to written Instalation & Operating Instructions and local codes. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition also known as NFPA54) or GCA B149 (latest edition) installation codes. These codes are available from the National Fire Protection Association, Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269 or the Canadian Gas Association, 55 Scarsdale Road, Toronto, Ontario M3B 2R3, CANADA.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Operate infrared heaters with proper care and observe all safety precautions. Carefully follow printed installation, operating and cleaning instructions furnished with the heater. Do not store gasoline or combustible products in the vicinity of the heater. Do not touch the heater or the tubes while the heater is in operation. Adequate ventilation must always be provided in accordance with codes.
Deflector Kit
The Deflector Kit (Part # 43504000) is used to reduce clearances to combustibles below the heater. It is designed to be used when the CB series is installed in a horizontal position. Details on Deflector Kit (PDF)
Lower Mounting Kit
The Lower Mounting Kit (Part #43515000) is required when the CB series of infrared tube heaters is installed at mounting heights between 6 ft. and 8 ft. above a finished floor. The Lower Mounting Kit consists of both the Emitter Guard Kit and the Draft Inducer Guard Kit as described below.
Emitter Guard Kit
The Emitter Guard Kit (Part #43485000) includes an aluminum decorative grille with side emitter guard holder panels. This item and the Draft Inducer Guard Kit make up the Lower Mounting Kit, which must be used in installations with mounting heights between 6 ft. and 8 ft. This item could be used separately in installations above 8 ft., however, for decorative purposes if desired. Details on Emitter Guard Kit (PDF)
Draft Inducer Guard Kit
The Draft Inducer Guard Kit (Part #43486000) is an aluminum shield mounted around the draft inducer (brackets and screws included).
This item and the Emitter Guard Kit make up the Lower Mounting Kit, which must be used in installations with mounting heights between 6 ft. and 8 ft. Details on Draft Inducer Kit (PDF)
Outdoor Cover Kit
Outdoor Cover Kit (Part # 44444000) protects the burner assembly from inclement weather like rain and snow when the heater is installed outdoor. Outdoor cover kit is not requiredwhen installed in Covered Patio Applications. If desired, the Outdoor Cover Kit can be installed to improve the cosmetic appearance in conjunction with the Emitter Guard Kit. The Emitter Guard Kit improves the aesthetics and diffuses the radiant energy below the heater (the use of the egg crate decorative grille limits the radiant throw of the heater when compared to exposed emitter tubes by approximately 30%). Details on Outdoor Cover Kit Assembly Instructions (PDF)
Decorative Grille Kits
The heaters can be installed over non-combustible suspended ceilings with the use of aluminum decorative grilles.Decorative Grille Installation Instructions (PDF)
Tube Heater Accessories
Accessories for common tube heater installations include vent caps, combustion air termination caps, thermostats, programmable digital thermostats, 24V Thermostats relay kits, Thermostat enclosure, Chain Kits, Second Stage Line Regulators, and manual cutoff valves.
