WARRANTY

This equipment is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship, under normal use and service, for a period of 12 months from date of shipment. This warranty shall not apply if:

1. The equipment is not installed by a qualified installer per the MANUFACTURER’S installation instructions shipped with the product,

2. The equipment is not installed in accordance with federal, state and local codes and regulations,

3. The equipment is misused or neglected,

4. The equipment is not operated within its published capacity,

5. The invoice is not paid within the terms of the sales agreement.

The MANUFACTURER shall not be liable for incidental and consequential losses and damages potentially attributable to malfunctioning equipment. Should any part of the equipment prove to be defective in material or workmanship within the 12-month warranty period, upon examination by the MANUFACTURER, such part will be repaired or replaced by MANUFACTURER at no charge. The BUYER shall pay all labor costs incurred in connection with such repair or replacement. Equipment shall

not be returned without MANUFACTURER’S prior authorization and all returned equipment shall be

shipped by the BUYER, freight prepaid to a destination determined by the MANUFACTURER.

To ensure proper operation of the Self Cleaning System, a minimum of 30 PSI water operating pressure during spraying must be achieved at the hood nozzles. For this to occur, proper sizing of the water line is required. Use the following steps to calculate the piping minimum size.

1. Use the Minimum Pressure Requirements for Lengths of Hood chart and find the minimum PSI required at the hood inlet. Subtract this value from the available PSI at the panel pressure gauge. Maximum panel operating pressure is 50 PSI. This will be your maximum allowable pressure drop for field installed pipes between the panel and the hood.

2. Most fittings add an equivalent pipe length to the total run. Use the chart below to calculate the equivalent pipe length for installed fittings. If you have multiple fittings of one type, simply multiply the number below by the total number of the fitting and add to the total run length.

3. To calculate the total flowing pressure drop between the panel and the hood, take the total equivalent length found in step 2 and add the total linear field installed pipe length. Multiply this number by the value found in the table below, Pressure Drop (PSI) per Equivalent Foot of Waterline. (Gallons per minute is calculated by multiplying the length of the hood by 0.7 GPM) This will be the friction pressure drop between the hood and the panel.

4. Add in the pressure drop due to gravity. This must be evaluated to overcome any rise in pipe elevation between the panel and the hood. There is .43 PSI/ft of vertical rise of pressure drop..

5. Now, compare the maximum allowable pressure drop from step 1 to the calculated pressure drop from step 3. If the calculated pressure drop exceeds the maximum allowable pressure drop, increase the pipe size and recalculate steps 2 and 3. Continue this step until the calculated pressure drop is below the maximum allowable.
