The pictorial drawings of the heater construction in 
Section 6 are schematic only and provide a general 
guideline of where hangers, reflector supports and 
U-clips are to be installed.

To ensure proper expansion and contraction 
movement of the reflectors, a combination of U-clips 
and reflector supports are used. The positioning of 

reflector supports and U-clips depends on the 
individual installation. Use either pop rivets or sheet 
metal screws instead of u-clips when installing end 
caps and joint pieces in areas where impact and high 
wind may be a factor. 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.
