An Equipment Drawing showing all utility and space requirements was
supplied with the sterilizer. Clearance space shown on the drawing is
necessary for ease of installation and to assure proper operation and mainte-
nance of equipment. Installation and Uncrating Instructions were also fur-
nished with the sterilizer. If any of these documents are missing or misplaced,
contact STERIS giving the Serial, Equipment and Model numbers. Replace-
ment copies will be sent to you promptly.
After installing this unit (see Fig. 2-1) according to the instructions provided,
complete the following checklist to assure that your installation is complete and
correct. Or, if you desire, contact STERIS for a technician to be scheduled to
test your installation and demonstrate proper equipment operation.

Insufficient service clear-
ance will make repairs
more difficult and time con-
suming.
2.2.1 Service
Clearance
❑
Feed Water:
❑
All supply line shutoffs must be provided with lockout capability.
❑
Backflow prevention is by others.
❑
Water Pressure
measured (specification is 30 to 50 psig, static and
dynamic). Water pressure supplied must be within specifications as shown
on the
Equipment Drawing.
If pressure is too high, a regulator must be
installed. If water pressure is too low, equipment performance will be
affected; use of a booster pump (by others) is recommended.
❑
Water Quality
supplied must be within specifications. Improper water
quality adversely affects equipment operation, especially units equipped
with an electric steam generator. Damage to the equipment from improper
water quality is not covered under warranty.
❑
Steam Supply:
❑
Shutoffs (with provisions for lockout and tag out) located nearby.
❑
Supply piping adequately sized.
❑
Supply pressure measured (specification is 50 to 80 psig, static and
dynamic).
❑
Steam Piping
to the sterilizer is to be trapped at a point before connection
to the sterilizer. Trap is required to remove condensate from the steam line.
❑
Drain Piping
must be sloped properly, and sized to handle the maximum
waste flow from the sterilizer.
2.2.2 Plumbing Service
