TEMPEST GAS BURNER TILE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INCHES (MM)
Ceramic Tile in Fiber Wall Installation Instructions (see Figure 1)
1. Cut circle opening in furnace shell. Allow ¼" clearance all the way around tile.The hole size in the shell for 4441-1 through -4-B is 5½" (140) and for 4441-5 through -7 is 8" (203). 2. Cut a straight hole in fiber wall for the burner tile. The hole should be approximately ½” (13) smaller than the tile OD to allow the fiber to be tight up against the tile. 3. Wrap the tile in cling wrap and then insert tile into the fiber wall. The cling wrap will assist in pushing the tile into a small- er fiber hole. 4. Bolt burner to furnace shell. We recommend using a flanged burner with a gasket at this joint for applications with pressur- ized chambers. A burner mounting gasket is available from North American. 5. Periodically check for fiber shrinkage in vicinity of the burn- er tile. Repack any voids with bulk fiber insulation to maintain a thermal seal between the furnace interior and the shell.

Ceramic Tile in Monolithic/Brick Wall Installation Instructions (see Figure 2)
1. Cut circle opening in furnace shell. Allow ¼" clearance all the way around tile.The hole size in the shell for 4441-1 through -4-B is 5½" (140) and for 4441-5 through -7 is 8" (203). 2. Make hole in furnace wall to insert the tile. We recommend a minimum gap of 1½" (38) between the tile and the brick/mono- lithic wall. Fill this gap with compressed ceramic fiber. The hole in the wall can be either square or round. If pushing the tile through the fiber, wrap the tile in cling wrap to assist the tile through the fiber. 3. Bolt burner to furnace shell. We recommend using a flanged burner with a gasket at this joint for applications with pressur- ized chambers. A burner mounting gasket is available from North American.
Ceramic Fiber
4. Pack fiber tightly around the tile. Fill all voids to provide a tight thermal seal from the furnace interior to the shell.
5. Periodically check for fiber shrinkage in vicinity of the burner tile. Repack any voids with bulk fiber insulation to maintain a thermal seal between the furnace interior and the shell.
