Other factors affecting steam generation are iron content, amount of chloridation and dissolved gases. Water supplies vary from state to state and from locations within a state. Therefore it is necessary that the local water treatment specialist be consulted before the installation of any steam generating equipment.

NOTE:

• Dimensions which locate the above connections have a tolerance of + or -3" (+ or -75 mm).

• It is the responsibility of the owner and installer to comply with local codes for installation.

• The installer may be required to provide means to reduce boiler drain water temperature to 140°F or less.

• If a drain line is connected to the steamer, the material must be suitable for 212°F water. If no drain plumbing is connected, a suitable catch pan must be used.

• This appliance is manufactured for commercial installation only and is not intended for home use.
