IMPORTANT!
YOUR LOCAL WATER CONDITIONS MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THIS APPLIANCE.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY TREAT WATER MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE AND
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. ENSURE THAT YOUR WATER SUPPLY MEETS
THESE MINIMUM WATER QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS BELOW BEFORE INSTALLING.
FAILURE TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS,
AND PROVIDE PROOF OF WATER QUALITY,
WILL VOID MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.
PLUMBING INFORMATION
A 1/4” FPT (female pipe thread) connector is provided on all units that require a water hookup. Units with
automatic humidity and/or automatic steam injection have plumbing connections located on the right rear
corner post approximately 8” up from the floor.
WARNING!
All units are required to have the water filter (provided by others) hooked up and
operational for warranty coverage.
NOTE:
Piper’s automatic steam and humidity systems MUST be connected to a source of clean and
filtered water that meets or exceeds the requirements in the table below. The filter removes solid particles
and dissolves minerals (such as what is commonly found in hard water) to prevent scale build-up on the
water heating element.
Water system pressure should not exceed 120 PSI (8.78 KGCM
2
).
Water consumption is less than 1 gpm
(3.78 liters/hour) and therefore the water supply pipe may be minimal.
