3.9.1 Supply Water Line (FIGURE 11)
The installation of the water connection to the appliance is
the responsibility of the owner and or installer.
An inlet strainer in water inlet must be used, removal of
strainer voids steamer warranty.
The installation of this appliance should comply with all
applicable federal, state or local plumbing codes.
The installation requires a check valve (or other approved
anti-back flow/ anti-siphon device) in all supply lines in accor-
dance with and as required by local, state and national health,
sanitation and plumbing codes. AccuTemp does NOT provide a
check valve with the steamer.
•
Design the water supply line so the unit can be moved for
service. Install a manual water shutoff valve between the
water supply line and the steamer supply line.
•
A reinforced rubber or braided stainless steel appliance
hose rated for the temperature and pressure of the
water supply with a 3/4” garden hose type connection is
required.
•
The Garden Hose Thread (GHT) connector used must
be suitable for potable water
•
Do not apply pipe thread sealant to GHT
connections.
•
Either hot or cold water can be connected to the
steamer. If hot is used, temperature must be less
than 180°F.
•
The hose must not be sharply bent, kinked or twisted.
•
If the steamer is close to a wall, use a right angle fitting to
prevent kinking the hose
•
The Auto-Fill Valve has a maximum water supply pressure
of 60 psi. If stream goes beyond ¾ or IF water pressure
gauge is > 60 psi, THEN install water regulator.
•
Flush the water supply lines before connecting the lines to
the appliance.
•
Connect the water supply lines to the steamer.
3.9.2 Drain Line Connection
Floor Drain
The steamer should be located close to, but not within
20” or directly over, a floor drain.
•
Connect a ¾” ID reinforced rubber hose rated for 212°F
or higher to the drain fitting on rear of the steamer with a
hose clamp (Connected Units ONLY).
•
Run the hose to the drain. DO NOT directly plumb the
steamer to the drain, Leave a one-inch air gap between the
hose and the drain.
•
The hose must drop 1/4” (inch) per foot to the drain.
•
Ensure no loops form in the drain line as this can cause a
backup and will affect the operation of the unit
The unit should not be located within 20” of a floor drain.
Optional Drain Connection
Run the hose to a funnel fitting leaving a one-inch gap between
the hose and the top of the funnel. The drain hose must slope
toward the floor drain or funnel.
