Service Connections
1.
General
Required service connections, (depending on machine model and optional features) are as
follows:
1. Piped inlets and outlets (cold water, hot water, flush water, third water, direct steam,
compressed air, liquid supply, and drain to sewer). The sizes and locations of piped inlets and
outlets are shown on the dimensional drawing for your machine.
2. Electrical power connections.

Requirements for Piped Connections
Notice 1 : Machine Damage —Plastic water valves can fail if improper connectors are used.
• Only use garden hose bib type connectors.
1. Inlet pressures must be within the minimum/maximum range specified. Pressure outside of
the specified range may cause the machine to operate inefficiently or malfunction and may
damage machine components.
2. Thoroughly flush all water lines before making connections.
3. We recommend installing 40 mesh strainers or filters in front of the cold, hot and third water
valves.
4. When connecting water and steam inlets, always install unions and shut off valves at the
point of connection to permit removal of the machine components for servicing, when
necessary.
5. Suds overflow (if so equipped) to drain, must be vented per plumbing code.
CAUTION 2 : Machine Damage Hazards
—Pumped chemical systems, if not properly
installed, can cause corrosion damage.
• See the reference manual for precautions and additional information before making any
chemical connections.
