PLUMBING
Fresh water supply
The fresh water connections are made at the square end of the pulper, behind
the drive motor. The unit requires the connection of cold water and hot
water. There are labels on the “end plate” indicating the type and locations
of the fresh water connections. Make the plumbing connection as required.
The connections are made to half-inch female pipe threads. When running the
pipe for these connections, do not use less than half-inch pipe and fittings
at any location in the fresh water supply lines. Ensure that there is a
shut-off valve in the supply line.
Drain pipe connection
The drainpipe connection is done with 2-inch pipe, and the connection is made
at the bottom of the pulper shell, at the end opposite the fresh water
connections. When installing the drainpipe, ensure that the pipe is level or
steadily falling. Never position the drainpipe such that it runs up hill at
any location. The drainpipe should run to a floor sink. Use of an elbow, at
the drain end of the pipe is recommended to divert the pulper drainage
downward. The system overflow is internally piped to the pulper drain, at
the factory.
Extractor hi level connection
There is an extractor high-level connection that needs to be piped to drain.
This connection is made to 1-½ inch female pipe threads. This hi level port
should also be plumbed to the drain. If desired, this 1 ½ inch line can be
tee’ed into the pulper drain line. If convenient it can be run separately to
the floor sink.
