Plumbing Connections

WARNING:

The installation of this unit must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
to all National Codes governing plumbing, sanitation, safety and good trade practices.

1. Incoming water supply line is 1” for water connections. Connect the hot water supply at the
final rinse piping connection located at the top right rear of machines with boosters.

2. A “Y” line strainer is provided by Champion for machines without boosters. A pressure
reducing valve (PRV) is provided by Champion for machines with built-in boosters.

3. If the incoming hot water supply pressure exceeds 25 psi [173 kPa], a PRV must be installed
and set to 20-22 psi [138-151 kPa] flowing pressure. The PRV may be purchased from
Champion or supplied by others.

4. Install a manual shut-off valve in the steam and water supply lines to accommodate servicing

Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or
Local Electrical Codes.

WARNING:

When working on the unit, disconnect the electric service and ta g it to indicate work is being
done on that circuit.

1. A qualified electrician should compare the electrical specifications on the machine electrical
connection plate (located inside the control cabinet) to the electrical power supply before
connecting to the incoming service at a fused disconnect switch.

2. The unit is phased at the factory. The phasing of the incoming service can be checked by the
rotation of the pump shaft. The pump shaft should rotate in the direction of the discharge,
indicated by an arrow on the casting. If the machine is out of phase, make changes at the
control cabinet main terminal block and not at the motor.

3. A knock-out plug is provided at the rear of the control cabinet for electrical service
connections. Electric booster requires a separate connection.

Ventilation
