Utility Distribution System

CaptiveAire Systems' UDS provides
unequaled cooking line versatility, flexibility
and convenience.

One connection for all your utility needs

The CaptiveAire Utility Distribution System (UDS) is designed to meet all electrical and plumbing requirements for
your kitchen appliances. A two compartment raceway houses either an electric copper bus bar or wireway which is
completely isolated from the plumbing supply manifolds.

Efficiency for Today - Flexibility for Tomorrow

additional capacity according to job specifications. Spare connection points are provided for future cooking
equipment expansion; therefore adding new equipment requires minimal effort. Rearranging the cooking line-up
can be accomplished in a matter of minutes, especially when equipment is on casters.

Electrical Riser: Main power connection is made to the main circuit breaker which has a shunt trip and is mounted
in the electrical riser.

Bus bar systems: Electrical power is fed through the main circuit breaker to the bus bar system in the raceway.
Each appliance is fed from the bus bar through individually sized circuit breakers located along the raceway.

Wireway systems: Electrical power is fed through a main circuit breaker to a distribution panel which contains
individual branch breakers. Each appliance is fed from the individual breakers which are wired to each receptacle
located along the raceway.

Plumbing Riser: The plumbing riser houses manual (quarter-turn) shut-off valves for each incoming main supply
line located in the UDS. The plumbing manifolds are provided with stub-outs along the raceway for the individual
plumbing connections. Each stub-out is equipped with a manual (quarter-turn) shut-off valve.
