Seismic restraint requirements vary greatly by geographic region or area. The infor-

mation below is a guideline only for suspension of the heater. Adhere to specific seismic re-

quirements and specifications of local engineering authority.

In areas prone to earthquake, or specified on a project, install lateral and longitudinal seismic

restraints as suggested in Figure 7. If the heater location can be impacted by wind (near over-

head doors, aircraft hangars, outdoors, etc) refer to High Wind Restraint section -below.

These guidelines indicate attachment of suspension and restraint hardware to the heater. The

attachment of suspension hardware to the structure will be as required by site structural condi-

tions, installation codes, and/or local engineering specifications. Other types or systems of re-

straint that are specified by local or national codes, or by project engineering design specifica-

tions may be required .

All required seismic mounting hardware is field supplied by the installer according to local

specifications.

In areas with wind conditions that can impact the heater (outdoor, aircraft hangers, etc): in ad-

dition to lateral and longitudinal restraint the heater should be restrained from vertical move-

ment (lift).

Suspend the heater us-

ing 3/8” threaded rod

with 3” adjustment turn-

buckle at each hanger

location to restrain up-

and-down movement.

Install angled chains for

lateral and longitudinal

restraint.
