WATER SUPPLY & DRAIN
Good quality water feed is the responsibility of the owner. Water quality must be within the
following general guidelines.
TDS: 40-125 ppm
Hardness: 35-100 ppm
pH: 7.0 - 8.5
Silica: <13 ppm
Chlorides: <25 ppm
Chlorine: <0.2 ppm
Chloramine: <0.2 ppm
The best defense against poor water quality is a water treatment system designed to meet
your water quality conditions.
Pressure:
25(min)-50(max) PSI
Connections: Trough drain: 1/2 MNTP Drain out: 1” FNPT Water: 3/4” male garden hose
Appliance to be installed with backflow protection according to federal, state or local codes.
The drain piping must consist of temperature resistant material, greater than 160°F, and be
of adequate diameter not to cause flow restriction. Improper materials may deform and cause
restrictions, thus affecting performance.
NOTES
Each single compartment has a separate rear exiting drain plumbed directly into the
stacked steamers main drain/vent line.
4” clearance left mandatory, right and rear is recommended.
Location near a floor drain is recommended.
Refer to electrical characteristics chart for voltage requirements of each steamer.
Each compartment requires separate electrical & water connection.
