Connect Water Supply Lines
c. Whether installing a treated or untreated water supply system, use the
following water line sizes.
• For the two lines between the Steam Craft 10 and the tee use 3/8-inch
IPS water supply lines to match the 3/8-inch compression fittings
mounted on the bottom panel of the SteamCraft 10.
• For the single line between the tee and the main cold water supply,
use 1/4-inch to 5/8-inch IPS water supply lines. If lines larger than
5/8-inch are used in this segment, a pressure regulator must be
installed before the tee, to maintain the pressure specified in step four.
d. Install a manual water valve between the main cold water supply line
and the SteamCraft 10 lines.
e. The National Sanitarian Foundation (NSF) requires installation of a
check-valve in all supply lines in accordance with and as required by
local plumbing codes.
f. At the points indicated in the recommended plumbing layouts, install a
40-mesh water strainer of the type and construction illustrated in Figure
2-12. A strainer is provided with the Steam Craft 10.
4. Construct all supply lines up to the point of installing the strainer(s)
illustrated in the recommended plumbing layouts. Flush the water supply
lines before connecting the strainer(s).
• If the remaining water supply lines and/or SteamerGard are not
immediately installed and connected after flushing, temporarily cap the
water supply lines.
• If the final installation and connections are performed immediately, refer
to the connection instructions in the SteamerGard manual, and Connect
Water Supply Lines, following.
The water supply connections are located under the SteamCraft 10, as shown
in Figure 2-2. Connect
the water supply lines to the Steam Craft 10 by
following both the general connection requirements and those requirements
specific to the type of supply system, either untreated water supply (Figure 2-
10) or water supply treatment system (Figure 2-11).
Figure 2-13. Water Strainer Installation
General Connection Requirements
1. Apply pipe dope or teflon tape to any threaded connection.
2. Flush the water supply lines before connecting the strainers), and again
before connecting the lines. to the SteamCraft 10 connections.
3. When installing water strainer(s), use a strainer with a 40 mesh screen as
illustrated in Figure 2-13.
• Make sure the arrow on the strainer body points in the direction of flow
into the steamer.
• Install the strainer so the access nut points down.
4. If incoming line pressure exceeds 60 psi static pressure, install a pressure
regulator to maintain the SteamCraft 10 pressure requirements specified in
Install Water Supply Lines (page 24).
