Installation, Operation & Maintenance
General Information:
Installation and service instructions in this manual are
applicable to the steam/hot water unit heaters which should
be installed in their proper applications for their most
effective function as overhead heating units. The copper coils
are warranted for operation at steam or hot water pressures
up to 180 psig, and/or temperatures up to 360°F. National
Electric Code (NEC) or Canadian Electric Code (CEC)
ignition temperature rating T3B for grain dust.
DO NOT REMOVE OUTLET FAN GUARD FROM
MODEL RV UNITS.
INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Installer Please Note: This equipment has been test fired
and inspected. It has been shipped free from defects from
our factory. However, during shipment and installation,
problems such as loose wires, leaks, or loose fasteners
may occur. It is the Installer’s responsibility to inspect
and correct any problems that may be found.
Inspect unit upon arrival. In case of damage, report 1.
immediately to transportation company and your local
Rittling Sales Representative.
Check rating plate on unit and motor to verify that power 2.
input and motor specification meet available electric
power at point of installation.
Inspect unit received for conformance with description 3.
of product ordered (including specifications where
applicable).

UNIT SUSPENSION
Horizontal Delivery Units, Model RH Series
All horizontal delivery units have two tapped holes (3/8"-
16) in the top for unit suspension. Piping support hangers or
clamps are recommended and should be placed as close to
the unit heater as possible. For other models, independent
suspension can be made with threaded rods, pipes, or
ceiling hanger brackets.
Vertical Delivery Units, Model RV Series
Models RV-42 through RV-161 have 4 tapped holes (1/2”-
13) on the top surface for unit suspension. Suspension
can be made with threaded rods, pipes, or ceiling hanger
brackets. Models RV-193 through V-610 have angle-iron
frame mounting brackets for heavy-duty installation with
applicable hardware.
Installation:
Do not install unit above recommended maximum
mounting heights or below the minimum height of eight
feet. The height at which unit heaters are installed is
critical. Maximum mounting heights for all units are listed
below. Maximum mounting heights for Model RV is given
for units with or without air diffusion accessories. Locate
horizontal delivery unit heaters so air streams of individual
units wipe the exposed walls of the building with either
parallel or angular flow without blowing directly against
the walls. Heaters should be spaced so the air stream from
one supports the air stream from another heater. Locate
vertical delivery unit heaters in the center area of the space
to be heated, using horizontal delivery unit heaters along
the walls where heat loss is usually greatest. See Mounting
Height.

Suggested Piping Arrangements
PIPING INSTALLATION
Horizontal and Vertical Unit Heaters
Note: Only make piping connections using two (2) pipe
wrenches. One wrench is used as a “back-up” while the
other wrench is used for applying force necessary to tighten
the fitting.
The illustrations, on right, suggest four (4) different piping
configurations. Refer to the ASHRAE Guide & Specialty
Manufacturer for selection of filter, piping traps and other
specialty sizing. Piping is typical for unit heaters.
Wiring Instructions
Disconnect power supply before making wiring
connections to prevent electrical shock and equipment
damage. All units must be wired strictly in accordance with
wiring diagram.
Installation: All wiring must be done in accordance with the National
Electric Code and applicable local codes. In Canada,
wiring must conform to the Canadian Electric Code. It is
recommended that all wiring be adequately grounded.
Electric wiring must be sized to carry the full load amp
draw of the motor, starter, and any controls that are
used with the unit heater. All units with power code
05 (polyphase motors) must be provided with suitable
overcurrent protection in circuit supplying heater at
installation. Overcurrent protectors should be sized based
on motor current rating shown on the unit serial plate, and
applicable national electric code procedures.
All units should be installed with an electrical junction
box. Junction boxes are either integral to the motor or to
be attached to the unit casing. Units with explosion-proof
motors have an explosion-proof junction box attached to
the motor. Any damage to or failure of Rittling units caused
by incorrect wiring of the units is not covered by Rittling’s
standard warranty.

Maintenance:
Inspect Regularly
Under average conditions, it is recommended that unit heaters be
inspected before every heating season — more often in locations
where air is contaminated with corrosive fumes, dust, soot or
oil spray. Check for dirty, clogged coils, excessive vibration and
loose connections. Inspect piping, strainers, traps, fittings, etc.
MOTORS
A. Cleaning
Remove grease and dirt on motor during each inspection or
lubrication. Open frame motors should be blown clean every
heating season, or whenever coils are cleaned, whichever is
sooner.
B. Lubrication
Motors do not have oil fittings. These motors are lubricated for
long life and do not require further lubrication.
C. Overload Protection
A change in line voltage higher or lower than motor nameplate
rating may cause overheating and serious motor damage. Check
plant voltage conditions. A separate manual starter with thermal
overload protection device is recommended for those units that
do not have motors with built in overload protection.
CASINGS
A. Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of casings is recommended to remove dirt,
grease and corrosive substances that may injure finish. Rusted or
corroded spots should be cleaned and repainted.
B. General Inspection
Tighten fan guard and
motor bracket. Check
fan for proper clearance,
free rotation and firm
connection to shaft. When
servicing is complete, tag
unit to indicate date of
inspection and cleaning.

COILS
A. Cleaning
Clean coil at least once a year, more often under unfavorable
conditions. Unless coil is kept reasonably free of dirt, lint and
grease, its original heating capacity will be reduced — possibly to
a serious degree, and motor damage may result. Two commonly
used cleaning methods are:
Loosen dirt by brushing fins on side where air enters coil and 1.
then turn on fan to blow dirt from unit.
Use high-pressure air hose to loosen dirt by blowing from 2.
side where air leaves coil (side adjacent to louvers on blow-
through units (RH); side adjacent to fan on draw-through
units (RV)). For thorough cleaning of coil, remove motor
and fan and spray a mild alkaline cleaning solution over the
coil. After a few minutes, follow by a hot water rinse. (A
steam gun can be used for spraying cleaning solution and hot
water.) Coils subjected to corrosive fumes should be checked
and cleaned frequently.
B. Internal Corrosion Safeguards
Provide controlled water treatment — don’t use excess of boiler
compounds. Contact your boiler compound supplier for proper
usage or the services of a water treatment laboratory. Periodic
internal flushing of the coils is recommended in areas where
water supply is suspected of causing scale. Use an alkaline-
chelant solution and introduce it at the main pump of the
hydronic system. Flush thoroughly.
WARNING: USING INORGANIC OR MINERAL ACIDS SUCH AS
MURIATIC (HYDROCHLORIC) ACID, EVEN THOUGH INHIBITED, MAY
LEAD TO SEVERE DAMAGE, INCLUDING CORROSION AND LEAKAGE.
De-aerate boiler feed-water (particularly if large amount of new
water is used). Ensure rapid continuous and adequate condensate
drainage by properly sized and installed traps and piping. Check
traps for sticking. Clean strainers ahead of traps. (When traps
don’t work, condensate accumulates in unit heater coil; water
hammer results.) Adequately vent each unit. Use low-pressure
steam when possible.
