Water
The manufacturers' recommended installation instructions DO NOT supersede any local plumbing
regulations. Installation must be done by a certified tradesman and in accordance with all code
requirements.
Each rotisserie requires a connection to a HOT water source. It is recommended that high
temperature rated hoses and pipes are used to provide water to each rotisserie.
Each rotisserie requires a water pressure of 30 – 60 psi [210 - 410 kPa] at inlet.
5.5.1
Water Softener
In locations where the water hardness exceed 4.0 GPG (70.0 PPM) a water softener is required. External
softeners are not required in locations that have integrated water softening systems in their potable water supply
lines. For all other locations it is recommended that you install an external water softener system. The softener
should be installed on the water supply line to the rotisserie and be connected to the water inlet located at the
back of the rotisserie. DO NOT MOUNT THE WATER SOFTENER DIRECTLY ON THE ROTISSERIE.
5.5.2
Water Connection
1. Ensure that the facility water supply is
turned off.
2. Locate the water inlet connection at
the lower rear right corner of the
rotisserie (see Figure 5-7).
3. Connect the rotisserie to the water
supply line by using a flexible hose. If
using the connection kit available from
Hardt, assemble as shown in
Figure 5-7.

Notes:
(1) If the rotisserie does not have
casters, it can be connected by using
direct hard plumbing.
(2) Some rotisseries are built with
bottom connections (that differ from
the plumbing location shown in
Figure 5-7) but the setup and
instructions are the same.
4. Ensure that the drain valve handle in
front of the unit is set to ‘CLEAN’.
Open the water supply valve and
check for leaks.
