Abstract

Attachment hardware and modular furnace lining which may be secured to an interior surface of a furnace by any one of a variety of methods, e.g., welding, self-tapping screw, or to a previously secured stud or matingly configured member. In a preferred embodiment the module is formed of refractory ceramic fiber blanket portions which are retained into a modular unit by the hardware system. Each module includes hardware having support structure which passes through the layers of blanket adjacent the furnace wall. The hardware includes a collar which is movable relative to the base bar to allow adjustment of the position of the module and means to facilitate access from the hot face of the module to install it.
