requirements. The tumble dryer must not be installed
or stored in area where it will be exposed to water and/
or weather.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the
rear of the tumble dryer with laundry or other
articles. Doing so would prevent adequate air
supply to the combustion chamber of the tumble
dryer.
A typical tumble dryer enclosure is shown in Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: Install tumble dryers with sufficient
clearance for servicing and operation, refer to
Figure 2.
To reduce the risk of severe injury, clearance of tumbler cabinet from combustible

The tumble dryer may be moved with or without the
skid. To remove the skid, unscrew the four shipping
bolts, and discard them.
To fit a 170 and 200 series tumble dryer (with shipping
skid) through a 2.43 meters (8 foot) high door, you
must remove the front access panel. The upper 76 mm
(3 inches) of the stove must also be removed on
170 series gas tumble dryers. Removing the entire gas
or steam heater assembly and the shipping skid, will
reduce the height of the 120 series tumble dryer to
1778 mm (70 inches), and the 170 and 200 series
tumble dryer to 1905 mm (75 inches).
Level the tumble dryer to within 3 mm (0.125 inch)
from front-to-rear (level on cylinder rib), and side-toside (level on top panel). Shim under corners to level
and stabilize unit. Tumble dryer must not rock.
Fire Suppression System
Check Local Codes and Permits
Call your local water company or the proper municipal
authority for information regarding local codes.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have
ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified
professional to assure that the plumbing is
adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal
regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT: It is the installation or owner’s
responsibility to see that the necessary or required
water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are
provided. Manufacturer assumes no responsibility
if the fire suppression system is not connected,
installed, or maintained properly.
Water Requirements
IMPORTANT: Water must be supplied to the fire
suppression system, or the fire suppression system
will not operate as intended.
Connection point to the electric water solenoid valve is
a 19 mm (3/4 inch) hose. The fire suppression system
equipped tumble dryer must be supplied with a
minimum water pipe size of 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) and be
provided with a
maximum of 827 kPa (120 psi) of pressure at all times.
Flow rate must be no less than, but approximately
57 liters (15 gallons) per minute.
minimum of 138 kPa (20 psi) and a
NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 psi) will
cause low flow and water leakage at water solenoid
valve.
If the rear of the tumble dryer or the water supply is
located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/
freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to
protect these water lines from freezing.
IMPORTANT: Temperature of the water supply
must be kept between 4.4°C and 48.9°C (40°F and
120°F). If water in the supply line or water solenoid
valve freezes, the fire suppression system will not
operate.
IMPORTANT: If temperature sensors inside the
tumble dryer register a temperature below 4.4°C
(40°F), the fire suppression system control will lock
out. This feature protects against operation of the
tumble dryer with a possible frozen water supply.
Only when the temperature sensors register a
temperature above 4.4°C (40°F) will the machine
reset for operation.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must
be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections will void the warranty. It is
recommended that a filter or strainer be installed
in the water supply line.
Water Connections
Two hoses and a Y-valve are provided with the tumble
dryer to allow for connection of water supply to
tumble dryer. The water connections are made to the
bushings of the water solenoid valve, located on the
rear of the tumble dryer. The Y-valve provides a single
female hose connection (Standard US 3/4-11 1/2 NH
thread). Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4.
1Fire Suppression System Control Box2Water Solenoid Valve
To connect the two hoses (supplied with tumble
dryer), insert rubber washers (from literature pack) in
water inlet hose couplings. Refer to Figure 4.
