Hang the Heater
Installation locations come in a variety of sizes, shapes,
styles and methods of construction. Because of all these
variables, it is not possible to include mounting hardware
with the GSP heater. Although wooden rafters and joists
are the most common overhead structural members
in residential garage applications, other structural
configurations are also illustrated below.
In the typical suspension methods shown below, lengths
of chain are shown as a means of lowering the heater.
However, for most installation applications it may not be
necessary to lower the heater. Instead, it may be possible
to screw hook-type hardware into the underside of a beam.
The exposed hook could directly engage one of the three
mounting holes in the front fixed hanger, while another
hook could engage in one of the three suspension loops of
the rear movable hanger.
Whichever method of suspension is selected, the two
required suspension points must be capable of supporting
a minimum of 150 pounds (68 kg) each.

Heater Orientation
The GSP tube heater may be installed in any of the three
orientations indicated below. Select the heater orientation
that is best suited for the location that you have chosen for
your heater.
• Horizontally
• Tilted 45° Right
• Tilted 45° Left
NOTE: If the heater is going to be vented through the
roof, be sure to carefully review the roof option
installation portion of this section. Ensure that the
selected mounting site will satisfy the measurement
parameters (vent length not to exceed 25 feet
[7.62 m]) described in that section.

Horizontal Installation
1. Using S-hooks, attach two equal lengths of 2/0 chain,
or equivalent, to the two uppermost holes in the front
fixed hanger.
2. Slip the free end of both chains onto another S-hook,
as shown.
3. The uppermost S-hook can now be installed on the
suspension hardware that you have installed for
suspension of the unit. An additional length of chain
may also now be installed, if required, to lower the
heater.
NOTE: The hook portion of hook-type suspension
hardware may directly engage the two holes in the front
fixed hanger and the center loop of the rear moveable
hanger.

45 ° Tilted Installations
1. Determine if the heater is going to be tilted left, or
tilted right. The front and rear suspension points
selected must be on the same side (left or right) of the
heater as shown below.
2. Attach suspension hooks and/or chains to the selected
suspension points of the heater.
