CRUV INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INSTALLATION
RO/DI water option
Notes:
•
Locate air gap only in spaces with adequate temperature and air movement to absorb fl ash steam; otherwise, condensation may form on nearby
surfaces. Refer to governing codes for drain pipe size and maximum discharge water temperature.
• Offset hu
mid i fi er from fl oor drain to prevent fl ash steam from rising into the hu mid i fi er.
• Dashed lines indicate provided by installer.
•
The water supply inlet is more than 1" (25 mm) above the skim/overfl ow port, eliminating the pos si bil i ty of backfl ow or si phon ing from the tank.
No additional backfl ow prevention is required; however, governing codes prevail.
• Damage caused by chloride corrosion is not covered by your DriSteem warranty.
