PROPER DRAINAGE FOR THE SUITMATE
®
UNIT
Note: Strictly follow all applicable local plumbing codes and regulations.
TO A FLOOR DRAIN
Drainage of the wastewater to a floor drain should be done ONLY in an area where the floor is normally wet.
DO NOT drain water across a floor where people do not expect to encounter a wet and slippery condition. The
SUITMATE
®
unit comes with a short flexible floor drain extension tube connected with a stainless steel hose
clamp to its drain tailpiece.
WARNING!
The drain tube that comes with the unit must not be removed unless the unit is
connected to an approved wastewater outlet or the factory-supplied tube is
replaced with another tube according to the following instructions.
Replacing the Factory Drain Tube with a Longer Drain Tube
Use a 1-1/4 inch (31.25 mm) I.D. drain tube with a smooth interior that will not crimp or collapse. Use the
stainless steel hose clamp that is provided with the factory flexible floor drain extension tube to secure the
replacement tube to the unit’s drain tailpiece. Route the drain tube so that it is never higher than the bottom of
the SUITMATE
®
unit and always slopes down. Secure the drain tube to the wall or floor with properly sized “U”
clamps so it cannot be maneuvered to trap wastewater. Cut off the end of the drain tube on an angle to help
prevent it from being blocked by the floor, wall, or some other object. Upon completion of the installation,
check to make certain that there is a free flow of water from the drain tube extension.
To an Approved Sanitary Waste Line
This installation should only be done in accordance with all applicable local plumbing codes and regulations.
The unit’s 1-1/4 inch (31.25 mm) O.D. drain tailpiece is designed for connection with standard compression
type plumbing fittings. There is room inside the housing for the use of a standard “P” type plumbing
connection. The waste outlet should be located in the wall behind the unit. The UTILITIES LOCATION
DIAGRAM shows the appropriate location for the waste duct. Refer to UTILITIES LOCATION DIAGRAM on
page 11.
If an open-site drain connection is required and the
open site is to be positioned within the SUITMATE
®
unit
housing, locate the top of the receiver pipe below the
top of the Motor end cap, and locate the top outer edge
of the receiver pipe at least 1-1/4 inches (31.25 mm)
from the body of the Motor. (Also see the UTILITIES
LOCATION DIAGRAM on page 11) Be certain that the
cut off end of the drain extension tube is below the top
of the receiver with the angle cut facing away from the
Motor as illustrated.

PROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR THE SUITMATE
®
UNIT
Note:
Strictly follow all applicable local electrical codes and regulations.
The SUITMATE® unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), that is designed to be
connected to a 115-V 20-Amp 60-Hz dedicated circuit that is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of the
correct (20 Amp Maximum) size. A PLUG-IN INSTALLATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! The utilized circuit must
be run to the SUITMATE
®
unit’s weatherproof Junction Box that contains the GFCI. A cable or liquid tight
raceway such as Ultralight
®
Liquid Tight Flexible Conduit (or the equivalent) should be used from the circuit
connection to the GFCI Junction Box. The UTILITIES LOCATION DIAGRAM (page 11) shows the location of
the suggested area behind the unit for the entrance of the electrical raceway or cable that does not interfere
with the drainage connection.
