INSTALLATION (continued)
CAUTION:
ELECTRICAL
DAMAGE
DO NOT plug in or energize this
appliance until all Installation
Instructions are read and
followed. Damage to the
Brewer will occur if these
instructions are not followed.
NOTE:
Water supply inlet line
must meet certain minimum
criteria to insure successful
operation of the brewer.
Bloomfield recommends 1/4"
copper tubing for installation of
less than 12 feet and 3/8" for
more than 12 feet from a 1/2"
water supply line.
NOTE:
This equipment must be
installed to comply with
applicable federal, state and
local plumbing codes and
ordinances.
IMPORTANT:
Water pressure must be
between 20 p.s.i and 90 p.s.i.
flowing pressure. If water
pressure exceeds this value,
or if water pressure varies
greatly, a pressure regulator
must be installed in the water
supply line.
PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Brewer should be connected to a
POTABLE WATER, COLD
WATER
line. Flush water line before connecting to Brewer.
DO NOT use a saddle valve with a self-piercing tap for the water
line connection. Such a tap can become restricted by waterline
debris. For systems that must use a saddle tap, shut off the main
water supply and drill a 3/16” (minimum) tap for the saddle
connection, in order to insure an ample water supply. Remember
to flush the line prior to installing the saddle.
The brewer must be installed on a water line with average
pressure between 20 PSI and 90 PSI. If your water pressure
exceeds 90 PSI at anytime, a pressure regulator must be
installed in the water supply line to limit the pressure to not more
than 90 PSI in order to avoid damage to lines and solenoid.
A water shut-off valve should be installed on the incoming water
line in a convenient location (Use a low restriction type valve,
such as a 1/4-turn ball valve, to avoid loss of water flow thru the
valve.
NSF requires that the brewer be able to be moved for cleaning
underneath. Loops of copper tubing will satisfy this requirement.
See Figure 2 below.
In some areas, local codes require a backflow preventer (check
valve) to be installed on the inlet water line. If a backflow
preventer is used, you must install a
water hammer arrester
in
the incoming line, between the backflow preventer and the
brewer inlet, as far away from the brewer as space will allow.
This will relieve the excessive back pressures that can cause
faucet leaks and solenoid malfunctions.
