(Blower Models only)
Figure 17 - Polytube Adapter
The polytube adapter option package does not include polytubing.
Polytubing can be obtained from a supply distributor such as FOF
Products, Inc., P. O. Box E, 1505 Racine Street, Delevan, WI
53115; ACME Engineering Co., P.O. Box 978, Muskogee, OK
74402; or any local greenhouse supply distributor. Some local
code authorities require the polytube material to be a listed mate-
rial. Consult code authority having jurisdiction and the polytube
supplier to determine the appropriate polytube material and rec-
ommended methods of suspension.
WARNINGS: This adapter is to be used
only on units equipped with a blower. At
no time should the free area in the polytube
be less than the listed minimum. Failure to
comply with these warnings could result
in severe personal injury, death and/or
property damage.
The following chart shows specification information covering the use of polytubes with these blower-type unit heaters.
Illustration shows Option
CD8, Polytube Adapter
for Floor-Mounted
Heater. Options CD6 and
CD11 are for Suspended
Heaters.
The polytube adapter option is designed to adapt this blower-
type heater for use with polytube ductwork. The use of
polytubes for air distribution is common in greenhouse appli-
cations and some industrial applications. A polytube distribu-
tion system delivers warm air to a specific area, reducing the
need for complete area heating. The polytube adapter is avail-
able in three installation designs making it adaptable to many
applications and building structures.
