INSTALLATION

1. Requirements

The F.S.S.

must be

supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1/2” and be provided with 40 psi +/- 20 psi

(2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source with the same
piping and pressure requirements is required.

Flexible 1/2 feeds

must be

provided to avoid damage to electric water solenoid valve by vibration.

IMPORTANT:

Flexible supply line/coupling

must be

used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard

plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.

If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/
freezing temperatures, provisions

must be

made to protect these water lines from freezing.

WARNING:

If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the F.S.S.

will be

INOPERATIVE!!

IMPORTANT:

Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using a new hose set and the old
hose set

should not be

reused.

2. Water Connections:

The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH
hose adaptor, located at the rear upper midsection
of the dryer (refer to the photo).

NOTE:

The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose
coupling screw thread. It

not

to be

confused with 3/4” N.P.T. The sealing of
an NH connection is made with a washer
opposed to the mating threads of an
N.P.T. assembly. The two (2) thread
designs

are

not

compatible.

IMPORTANT:

Flexible supply line/coupling

must be

used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard

plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.

It is recommended

that a filter

or strainer be installed in the water supply line.
