ServiceTechnician Training TES Installation Procedures
TES Trailer Requirements • Payload Capacity • Dimensions • Tongue Length • Ventilation • Hose Access Door
PAYLOAD CAPACITY • The approximate combined weight of the standard TES package with three 100# propane tanks is 1600 lbs.
Inside Dimensions • To maintain proper clearances around the TES unit and to carry accessories and other equipment a minimum 6’ x 12’ area with a 6’ ceiling is required. • A 6-1/2’ ceiling is required to stack TEX boxes four high.
Tongue Length • A four foot tongue is require to be able to mount the AT70 Propane Tank Rack.
VENTILATION • A 200,000 btu propane fired boiler requires 200 square inches of incoming air vent space to provide combustion air flow. • This will consist of one lower vent within 12 inches of the floor and a roof vent. Each vent of 100 square inches. • When calculating the vent area, consideration must be given to the blockage effects of louvers, grills and screens.
VENTILATION Inlet Air Fan Roof Vent
HOSE ACCESS DOOR • A hose access door is required to allow the hoses to be run out of the trailer while allowing the doors to be locked for security during operation. • The open space of the hose door can be included in the calculation of the total available vent space. The door should be held open during TES operation
There are Four Steps in the TES Installation Process • Layout • Anchoring • Exhaust • Propane
LAYOUT • Determine the positioning of the TES unit and accessories. • Balance load to reduce tongue weight • Minimum of 6” between the TES unit and wall of trailer and any combustible materials. • TES exhaust outlet centered between roof beams. • Use wall e-channel to secure hoses and TEX boxes. • Floor anchors can be installed as needed without interference from beams or other obstructions.
ANCHORING • Trailer Use Mounting – No Wheels • Portable Use Mounting – With Wheels
PORTABLE MOUNT Turnbuckle Turnbuckle Floor Anchor Support Frame Trailer Floor Floor Anchor
PORTABLE MOUNT Turnbuckle Floor Anchor
EXHAUST • The outdoor vent cap cannot be used in an enclosed trailer. Outdoor Vent Cap
EXHAUST • Always use single wall galvanized metal vent pipe the same diameter as the draft flue collar. 200,000 BTU units: 7” Exhaust Pipe 250,000 BTU units: 8” Exhaust Pipe The exhaust pipe must be installed straight up through the roof with an Exhaust Cap.
EXHAUST • Make sure the section of roof directly above the TES unit exhaust outlet is relatively flat and TES is positioned so exhaust outlet will be centered between the roof cross beams.
EXHAUST • Use plumb bob or level to locate and mark center spot on trailer roof directly above the exhaust outlet. • Draw an 8” diameter circle & cut out circle. 8”
EXHAUST • Drill 12 holes, each 3/16” in diameter around the edge of the flange on the Exhaust cap (NM4330).
EXHAUST • Apply a silicone, urethane or neoprene sealant to the bottom of the exhaust cap flange. • Place exhaust cap on roof centered over the opening. • Drill 3/16” holes through roof aligning with each hole on the flange and secure flange to roof with pop rivets. • Seal edge of flange and rivets with silicone, urethane or neoprene sealant. • Seal around inside edge of roof opening and exhaust cap
EXHAUST • Use a crimping tool to crimp top edge of Tapered Exhaust Adapter Adapter 8” x 7” NM4390 Crimping Tool
EXHAUST • Place the Tapered Exhaust Adapter on top of the TES Exhaust outlet and measure the distance from the bottom of the Exhaust cap to the ridge just below the crimped section of the adapter. Crimped Section Ridge
EXHAUST • Cut a section of 7” single wall galvanized pipe 1” longer than your earlier measurement. • Place pipe onto Tapered Exhaust Adapter.
EXHAUST • Insert crimped end of adapter and pipe assembly into bottom of Exhaust cap and set adapter over TES exhaust outlet.
PROPANE • Propane tank rack • Regulator and Bulkhead fitting • Hoses • Portable Use Regulator
PROPANE • Place Propane Tank Rack (AT70) on the trailer tongue. Center rack on tongue and leave ½” to 1” space between rack and trailer wall. • Move Battery box if needed. • Secure rack to tongue by welding or bolting.
PROPANE • Propane regulator must be mounted outside of trailer during TES operation. • Select a location to mount the propane regulator and bulkhead fitting. • Next to wall stud. • Protected from contact. • Close to propane tanks.
PROPANE • Drill a 1-1/2” hole through inner wall only. • Drill a 7/8” hole through outer wall. 7/8” Hole 1-1/2” Hole Wall Stud
PROPANE • Assemble regulator, fittings and bracket Regulator NM4320 Nipple ½” x 1-1/2” NM4346 Elbow 90˚ ½” F-F BR296 Regulator Bracket NM4352 Screws #8 x ½” PHP NM4370
PROPANE • Assemble Bulkhead Fitting. Use different nipples for walls with different thickness. Bulkhead Fitting NM4334 Nipple ½” x 1-1/2” NM4346 Nipple ½” x 2” NM4348 Nipple ½” x 2-1/2” NM4350
PROPANE • Insert Bulkhead Fitting through wall and screw nipple into Regulator nipple. • Hex on Bulkhead Fitting must be flush with or slightly inside the inner wall.
PROPANE • Place Bulkhead Plate over Bulkhead Fitting and secure plate to fitting with lock washer and nut included with bulkhead fitting. • Secure Bulkhead plate to wall with four screws. Bulkhead Plate NM4354 Screw #10 x 1” PHP NM4372
PROPANE • Secure the Regulator Bracket to the trailer wall with eight screws. Regulator Bracket can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Vertical Mount
PROPANE Horizontal Mount
PROPANE • Check position of vents on the propane regulator. Large vent must be pointing down, or plumbed with opening pointing down. • Small vent should be pointing down. The small vent can be turned. • In vertical mount the small vent can’t be turned down. Turn so vent points to the left.
PROPANE Large Vent Small Vent Horizontal Mount
PROPANE • Remove four screws and turn small vent as needed. Do not have vent pointing toward bracket.
PROPANE • Connect ¼” 90˚ Street Elbow to the inlet port of propane regulator. • Connect Male POL fitting to ¼” Elbow. Elbow 90˚ - ¼” Street BR282 Male POL Fitting- ¼” MPT PMEF-181
PROPANE • Connect 3-Tank Adapter to POL fitting and the three propane tanks.
PROPANE • Connect ½” 90˚ Street Elbow to the Bulkhead Fitting. • Connect the ½” Gas Shutoff Valve to the elbow. Gas Shutoff Valve NM4336 Elbow 90˚ - ½” StreetBR286
PROPANE • Connect 15’ Propane hose to gas shutoff valve and route hose along top of wall to the side of the TES unit. • Remove regulator from TES 10’ Propane hose and connect to 15’ hose from gas shutoff valve.
