Installation
Installation Instructions:
1.
These kettles must be installed on a suitable table or counter top.
2.
On counter top make 7/8" holes at 13 - 3/4" center for kettle legs on models FT-
4, FT-6, FT-10, and FT-12, 23-1/2" center on Model FT-20. Provide sufficient space
from rear wall to allow for tilting of kettle.
3.
From bottom of leg remove mounting lockouts and washers. Apply Silastic to
flared edge of leg. Insert threaded portion of legs through holes. Replace washers
and locknuts and tighten. Wipe off excess sealant.
4.
Install a safety relief valve in the steam line set at the maximum operating
pressure of the kettle. Note that one valve will handle a series of kettles.
5.
Connect steam supply line (1/2" pipe size) to steam inlet fitting on right leg.
6.
Install a steam shutoff valve in steam supply line, preferably near the kettle for
convenience.
7.
A pressure reducing valve will be required if the steam supply pressure is greater
than the maximum kettle working pressure.
8.
If large amounts of water are in the steam line it will be necessary to install one
or more ball float traps in the line to eliminate the water.
9.
A steam line pressure gauge is also recommended to determine the actual
amount of steam coming to the kettle.
10.
Install a suitable steam trap in condensate line (left leg) near the kettle and run
condensate return line to drain. If the condensate return line will be directed to
the boiler, then it must have a check valve and gate shutoff valve near the kettle.
