In Canada, the installation must conform to the Canadian Gas Code, CAN 1-B149, Installation Codes for Gas BurningAppliances and Equipment and/or local codes.
After the unit has been connected to the gas supply, all gas joints must be checked for leaks. Do NOT use flame checking for leaks. A thick soap solution or other suitable leak detector should be used.
For a Unit on casters:
A.The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the standard for connectors for movable gas appliances; ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16, and a quickdisconnect device that complies with the standard for quick-disconnect devices for use with gas fuel, ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9.
B.Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quickdisconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
C.The location where the restraining device may be attached to the appliance shall be in acordance with Groen specifications for the device.
4.Water Connection(s)
Install a check valve to prevent back flow in the incoming cold water line, as required by local plumbing codes. Water pressure in the line should be between 30 and 60 PSI. If pressure is above 60 PSI, a pressure regulator will be needed. These pressures must provide the 1.5 gallons per minute required for proper steamer function.
A 3/4 inch female NH connector (garden hose type) is used to attach the water supply to the inlet valve. Minimum inside diameter of the
water feed line is 1/2 inch. Use a washer in the hose connection. Do not allow the connection to leak, no matter how slowly. Do not over-tighten hose connections.
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
NOTE: Local code may also require check valves in the water supply line.
