1.
Installation under a ventilation hood is recommended. Consult local codes.
2.
Install and anchor the kettle on a level and rigid surface. Recommended
mounting surface is 16 gauge (.060” thick) top with a lower reinforcement
of C4 structural channel. NOTE: Failure to install the kettle per above
recommendation may cause the steam piping to flex and leak, reduce seal life
and will void warranty.
3.
If the steam supply pressure is greater than the maximum working pressure
stamped on the nameplate, you must install a pressure reducing valve in the
steam supply line near the kettle.
4.
Connect the steam supply line to the steam inlet fitting. Include a steam control
valve and an appropriate safety valve. To obtain the full heating capability of
the kettle, the steam supply line must be as large as the steam inlet fitting.
5.
The safety valve is preset to relieve jacket pressure that exceeds its rated limit.
Do not try to adjust the valve setting, and do not allow the valve outlet or lever
to be blocked.
6.
Connect the kettle condensate return line to the boiler return line, or to a drain.
A suitable steam trap, strainer, and check valve must be installed. (See piping
diagram, below).
7.
Any mechanical change must be approved by the Service Department.
Standing Piping
The inlet valve may be located anywhere on the cabinet top or face but not through
the face casting. The illustrated sleeve is designed to simplify valve installation by
allowing the valve to shift off center by 1/4”, if necessary. This should be enough to
allow for thread take-up and misalignment.
*Accessories available as options. Piping is to be supplied by the installer.
