ABSTRACT:
A gas fired infrared burner ceramic tile retainer for securing ceramic burner tiles within a plenum including a one-piece cut-and-form stamped tile retainer made of continuous sheet metal includes a top portion which is substantially horizontal for engaging the burner tile edge and a transverse portion which is substantially perpendicular to the top portion which includes a plurality of tabs extending downwardly from the transverse portions. These tabs are placed at intervals around the bottom of the tile retainer and are adapted to be bent under the plenum which contains the burner tile. The plenum has a tile receiving lip around its upper outer perimeter, and the tabs are bent underneath this lip to secure the burner tile by sandwiching the outer edges of the burner tile between the tile retainer and the plenum tile receiving lip. The disclosed tile retainer furthermore helps to maintain a substantially gas tight seal between the ceramic tile and the plenum.
