BH-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL  
SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY  
The installer is responsible for the following:  
permanent ink according to your model number and  
configuration in the open spaces on the tag.  
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals  
To install the heater, as well as the gas and  
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable  
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon LLC  
recommends the installer contact a local Building  
Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.  
CAUTION  
To use the information given in a layout drawing  
and in the manual together with the cited codes  
and regulations to perform the installation.  
To install the heater in accordance with the  
clearances to combustibles.  
Product Damage Hazard  
Do not use heater in area containing  
corrosive chemicals.  
To furnish all needed materials not furnished as  
standard equipment.  
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data  
Sheets (MSDS).  
To plan location of supports.  
To provide access on all sides for burner servicing  
and removal.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result  
in product damage.  
To provide the owner with a copy of this  
Installation, Operation and Service Manual.  
Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for  
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are  
undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the  
responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the  
contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner identifies  
the presence of combustible materials, corrosive  
chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere  
in the premises.  
To never use heater as a support for a ladder or  
other access equipment and never hang or  
suspend anything from heater.  
To ensure there is adequate air circulation around  
the heater and to supply air for combustion,  
ventilation and distribution in accordance with  
local codes.  
To safely and adequately install heater using  
materials with a minimal working load of 75 lbs  
(33 kg).  
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of  
chemical compounds characterized by the  
presence of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine,  
bromine, etc.). These compounds are frequently  
used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc.  
If these compounds enter the air supply of the  
burner, the life span of the heater components will  
be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must be  
provided to the burners whenever the presence of  
these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be  
invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated  
hydrocarbons.  
To ensure the heater is placed in an approved  
application.  
2.1 Wall Tag  
A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as  
a permanent reminder of the safety instructions and  
the importance of the required clearances to  
combustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon LLC  
®
or your ROBERTS GORDON independent  
distributor to obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by  
peeling off the backing of the adhesive strips on the  
rear surface and position the tag on a wall near the  
heater (e.g. thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON  
Controller).  
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on  
the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may  
affix this copy on the wall near the heater.  
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes  
All appliances must be installed in accordance with  
the latest revision of the applicable standards and  
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas  
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards  
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars,  
etc. may be applicable.  
®
Know your model number and installed configuration.  
Model number and installed configuration are found on  
the burner and in the Installation, Operation and  
9, Figure 12. Write the proper clearance dimensions in

SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES  
SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES  
WARNING  
3.1 Required Clearances to Combustibles  
Clearances are the required distances that  
combustible objects must be away from the heater to  
prevent serious fire hazards. Combustibles are  
materials that may catch on fire and include common  
items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabric, etc.  
Maintain clearances to combustibles at all times  
for safety.  
Fire Hazard  
Clearances for all heater models are located on the  
burner of the heater and on Page 6, Figure 3 through  
Page 9, Figure 12 in this manual. Check the  
clearances on each burner for the model heater  
being installed to make sure the product is suitable  
for your application and the clearances are  
maintained. Read and follow the safety guidelines  
below:  
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and  
vapors the minimum required clearances to  
combustibles away from heater.  
Some objects will catch fire or explode when  
placed close to heater.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result  
in death, injury or property damage.  
• Keep gasoline or other combustible materials  
including flammable objects, liquids, dust or  
vapors away from this heater or any other  
appliance.  
• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building  
structure, be sure that adequate sleeving and fire  
stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire  
hazard.  
• The stated clearances to combustibles represents  
a surface temperature of 90° F (50° C) above  
room temperature. Building materials with a low  
heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding,  
canvas, tri-ply, etc) may be subject to degradation  
at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s  
responsibility to assure that adjacent materials  
are protected from degradation.  
• Maintain clearances from heat sensitive  
equipment and workstations.  
• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below  
the heater.  
• Maintain clearances from swinging and overhead  
doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, partitions,  
storage racks, hoists, building construction, etc.  
• In locations used for the storage of combustible  
materials, signs must be posted to specify the  
maximum permissible stacking height to maintain  
required clearances from the heater to the  
combustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to  
the heater thermostat. In the absence of a  
thermostat, signs must be posted in a  
conspicuous location.  
• Consult local Fire Marshal, Fire Insurance Carrier  
or other authorities for approval of proposed  
installation when there is a possibility of exposure  
to combustible airborne materials or vapors.  
• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum  
suspension requirements on Page 15, Figure 14.

SECTION 9: GAS PIPING  
SECTION 9: GAS PIPING  
Install the gas hose as shown on Page 42, Figure 23.  
The gas hose accommodates expansion of the  
heating system and allows for easy installation and  
service of the burner. Before connecting the burners  
to the supply system, verify that all high pressure  
testing of the gas piping has been completed.  
There is an expansion of the tube with each firing  
cycle; this will cause the burner to move with respect  
to the gas hose. This can cause a gas leak resulting  
in an unsafe condition if the gas connection is not  
made strictly in accordance with Figure 23 on Page  
42.  
WARNING  
Fire Hazard  
Tighten gas hose fittings to connect gas  
supply according to Figure 23.  
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all  
the burners being installed plus any other connected  
load. The gas hose which feeds the system must be  
large enough to supply the required gas with a  
maximum pressure drop of 1/2" w.c. When gas piping  
is not included in the layout drawing, the local gas  
supplier will usually help in planning the gas piping.  
Gas hose can crack when twisted.  
Gas hose moves during normal operation.  
Use only 36" (91 cm) long connector of 1/2" or  
3/4" nominal ID.  
Connector supplied with heater for U.S.  
models (not with Canadian models).  
Gas lines must meet applicable codes:  
United States: The Flexible Stainless Steel Gas  
Hose (US models) supplied with the heater is certi-  
fied per the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appli-  
ances, ANSI Z21.24/CSA 6.10 - latest revision.  
Canada: The Rubber Type 1 Gas Hose (Canadian  
models) optional with the heater is certified as being  
in compliance with the Standard for Elastomeric  
Composite Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting  
Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA 8.1 - Latest  
revision.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result  
in death, injury or property damage.  
WARNING  
• Check the pipe and tubing ends for leaks  
before placing heating equipment into  
service. When checking for gas leaks, use a  
soap and water solution; never use an open  
flame.  
Explosion Hazard  
Leak test all components of gas piping  
before operation.  
Gas can leak if piping is not installed  
properly.  
Do not high pressure test gas piping with  
heater connected.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result  
in death, injury or property damage.

11.1 Sequence of Operation  
11.2 To Shut Off Heater  
1. Turn the thermostat up. When the thermostat  
calls for heat, the blower motor will energize.  
Set thermostat to lowest setting.  
Turn OFF electric power to heater.  
Turn OFF manual gas valve in the heater supply line.  
2. When the motor approaches nominal running  
RPM, the pressure switch closes and activates  
the ignition module.  
11.3 To Start Heater  
Turn gas valve and electric power OFF and wait five  
minutes for unburned gases to vent from heater.  
Turn ON main gas valve.  
3. After a 45 second prepurge, the ignition module  
then opens the gas valve and energizes the  
spark igniter.  
Turn ON electric power.  
Set thermostat to desired temperature.  
Burner should light automatically.  
4. When the flame is established, the sparking  
sequence ceases.  
11.4 Pre-Season Maintenance and Annual  
Inspection  
5. If the flame is not established during the ignition  
sequence, the ignition module closes the gas  
valve and purge begins. Module will try 2  
additional times for ignition (with purges in  
between trials). If ignition is not established, the  
module will lockout.  
To ensure your safety and years of trouble-free  
operation of the heating system, service and annual  
inspections must be done by a contractor qualified in  
the installation and service of gas-fired heating  
equipment.  
Turn off gas and electric supplies before performing  
service or maintenance. Allow heater to cool before  
servicing.  
Before every heating season, a contractor qualified in  
the installation and service of gas-fired heating  
equipment must perform a thorough safety  
inspection of the heater.  
6. If the flame extinguishes during operation, the  
ignition module will attempt the multiple trial  
sequence described in step 5. If ignition is not  
re-established, the module will lockout for one  
hour or until reset.  
7. After lockout, the control can be reset by turning  
down thermostat for five seconds, and then  
raising it again to desired temperature, or by  
disconnecting power and then reconnecting.
