INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
115-V 20-Amp 60-Hz Self-Timed Unit
The SUITMATE
®
Swimsuit Water Extractor has been designed and manufactured with safety as the primary
consideration. Therefore, it is important that the unit be installed correctly. It is also important that the
installation comply with all local building codes and regulations. Please consult your local licensed plumbing
and electrical engineers or contractors about your installation. Read the entire INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS before beginning your installation. Remember: DO IT RIGHT and DO IT SAFE!
PROPER LOCATION FOR THE SUITMATE
®
UNIT
Following is a list of factors to consider in determining a location for the SUITMATE
®
unit.
1) The unit should be located in an area that is near where people remove and rinse out their swimsuits.
2) The unit should NOT be located in a cluttered area or where it is exposed to direct shower water or
water hose down.
3) The unit should be mounted on a wall structure that will support the unit’s approximate 55 pounds (25kg)
hanging weight plus the added weight or pressure of people leaning on the unit. Consult the PROPER
WALL MOUNTING section of these instructions to determine an appropriate location.
4) There should be a means to dispose of the wastewater from the unit. Consult the PROPER DRAINAGE
section of these instructions (page 5) to determine an appropriate location.
5) The unit should be wired to a 115-V(AC) 20-Amp 60-Hz dedicated circuit. Consult the PROPER
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section of these instructions (page 5) to determine proper location.
PROPER WALL MOUNTING OF THE SUITMATE
®
UNIT
The SUITMATE
®
unit should be mounted to the wall with the Wall Mount Bracket that is provided with the unit.
The UTILITIES LOCATION DIAGRAM (page 8) shows the recommended location for the mounting holes, the
electrical service, and the wastewater outlet (if utilized). The Wall Mount Bracket must be secured to a wall
stud, or to concrete block or cinder block wall.
WARNING!
Anchors in drywall are not sufficient to mount the SUITMATE
®
unit.
Locating and Securing the Wall Mount Bracket to the Wall
The suggested height from the floor to the top of the SUITMATE
®
unit is 42 inches (107cm). At least an additional 10 inches (25.5cm)
of clearance above the SUITMATE
®
unit is needed for the
opening and closing of the lid. The upper center hole of the Wall
Mount Bracket should be 38 +/- 1/16 inches (96.5cm +/- 2mm)
from the floor. The top of the Wall Sign should be 60 +/- 1/16 inches
(152.5cm +/- 2mm) above the floor and centered over the
SUITMATE
®
unit. Determine a location on the wall that provides
adequate clearance, a strong and secure place for the
Wall Mount Bracket as well as easy access to electrical and
drainage connections.
WARNING!
The Wall Mount Bracket must be level after it is secured to the wall.
