Figure 18. Installation of 2 ft. (60 cm) Decorative Aluminum Grille (optional)
Decorative Grille Installation
When running the heater over a suspended ceiling,
decorative grille must be used directly below the heater.
The use of regular ceiling tiles directly below the heater
will create an unsafe condition.
The decorative grille option allows the heater to be
installed over suspended ceilings. The aluminum grille
(P/N 91407000) comes in standard 2 ft. x 4 ft. (60 cm x
120 cm) sections and is installed in place of ceiling tile.

Table 6. Side Extensions for Decorative Grille
The system is hung in a normal fashion with the tube
suspended over the grille at a height between 1.6" and
14.4" (between 4 cm and 36.5 cm). To select the
appropriate side extension reflectors, calculate the
distance "A" between the radiant tube and the decorative
grille. See Table 6 below.
Shields (P/N 01365900) must be placed over ceiling
frame members that pass underneath the heater. The
side extension reflectors are available in standard 4ft.
(120 cm) sections and have notches in the bottom
corners to accommodate suspension system. Lay the
side extension reflectors along the standard reflectors
and cut suitable notches for the tube and reflector
hangers where appropriate. It is generally not necessary
to cut notches for the reflector support straps. Gloves
should be worn when handling the aluminum grille to
protect hands from sharp edges.
