The pictorial drawings of the heater construction in 
this Section  are schematic only and provide a gen-
eral guideline of where hangers, reflector supports 
and U-clips are to be installed.

To ensure proper expansion and contraction move-
ment of the reflectors, a combination of U-clips and 
reflector supports are used. The positioning of reflec-
tor supports and U-clips depend on the individual 
installation. The following rules must be observed.

2. The overlap at the first and second reflector is a slip overlap.

Thereafter, every third reflector joint is a slip overlap. A slip

overlap is achieved by either:

a.) both reflectors lay inside a hanger.

(no reflector support needed).

b.) using a reflector support with

loose screws at the reflector

overlap.

3. The remaining reflector overlaps require a non-slip

overlap connection. To affix the reflectors together in

a non-slip overlap either:

a.) use reflector support and tight screws.

b.) if both reflectors lay inside a hanger, u-clips or 

sheet metal screws may be used.

This section of three reflectors joined together must

be affixed to the tube with at least one reflector support

with tight screws.
