Cole-Parmer CLW-108i & CLW-128i Washers

 

         INSTALLING THE WASHER 

Your Cole-Parmer glassware washer must be enclosed on the top, 
back, and both sides.  The cabinet enclosure into which 

Undercounter

 units are installed supplies this protection.  

Freestanding / Mobile

 units are equipped with a #3 stainless steel 

cabinet.   
 
Only qualified, factory-trained personnel familiar with local plumbing 
and electrical codes and ordinances should install the washer.  For a 
first-time installation, all site preparation work must be completed 
before the washer can be installed with final utility connections.  If 
the new washer replaces an existing unit, verify that all plumbing  
and electrical connections are properly sized and located. 
 
To protect floor surfaces, 

Undercounter

 

units are supplied with leg slides for 
attachment to washer feet.  These decrease 
friction as the unit is moved across the floor.   
 
 

Preparing for Installation 

REQUIRED TOOLS 

• 

Phillips #2 screwdriver 

• 

Flat blade screwdriver 

• 

Adjustable wrenches 

• 

5/8" (16 mm) open-end wrench 

• 

Tape measure 

• 

Spirit level 

• 

Electric drill 

• 

Hole-saw bits up to 2" (50 mm) diameter    

 
 

REQUIRED PLUMBING SUPPLIES 

Your unit is supplied with two rear-mounted barbed fittings for 
connection to your facility’s tap water and DI water supplies.  
Two 6' lengths of 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD flexible tubing are provided.  
Mating extension hoses are available in a Facility Installation Kit 
(Part Number 445490).  We recommend installing a shutoff valve 
at the water supply connection.  You will also need an appropriate 
fitting for connecting the supplied drain hose to your drain system.
