How to Install Radiant Tube Heaters

[@EZElookout]

Good video man.. You don't need a crack union with a flex gas line since you can remove the fitting where it meets the black steel

I live in California but can remember these heaters at a tire shop when still in Michigan. Like you said, when near them it feels like you're standing in the sun. Very interesting.

I think I would prefer standing in the California sunshine. 😂

@@ReubenSahlstrom I hear you! I can still remember how fickle springtime can be in the Midwest, especially back in Michigan. It's supposed to be in the mid 90s Thursday and Friday. A bit early but it happens.

@@ReubenSahlstrom warning - the sunshine may come with a lot of other undesirable things that are part of the california package, like one party rule.

Great video man. I just started installing these heaters with the older style hangers at work today. Thanks for sharing!

Reading instructions is like... "Through the fence, throw the horse, some hay."

Hoping you can help me out here . I have two existing radiant tube heaters, and both crapped out. Of course, winter is around the corner and i live in cental Ontario Canada where ist gets very cold. My question is , my existing tubes are 3.5 inch and the new ones come in 4 inch only . Can I just put a 4 inch to 3.5-inch coupler so I don't have to change 60 feet of tube and exhaust pipe? This would save me a shit load of work and cost to buying new tubes and exhaust witch are all like new , thanx if you can help out .

Since the tube is where the gas combusts, the amount of resistance plays an important role. Thus I would not recommend installing a different size burner unless the burner manual makes allowance for it. You don't want to end up with carbon monoxide. Your current heaters may just need a good tune up?

@@ReubenSahlstrom Tnx for your 4 reply. I was told by the local gas and heating shop they can't get parts for my heaters anymore. I'm calling bullshit because he wants to sell 2 new units, lol. The new units i ordered are 100,000 BTU and come with 20 feet of tubing, 4 inches. my old one is 30 feet of tubing and 11 feet of exhaust pipe which is mint and still hanging. So basically, I just want to do is just put 4 in to 3.5 in reducer to connect how its sitting now. It would only be a c1/4 in in circumference from what i have now so was thinking it may work. The boss was supposed to get a hold of the company we bought them from to see if that was ok but haven't heard back yet and i want to be prepared when it comes in has it's getting colder and the boys are bitching it's too cold to work already, lol.

where can the average guy buy this type of system and install himself?
