the tumble dryer. If the water dispensing system is
activated, have the tumble dryer inspected by a
qualified agency before operating the tumble dryer.
W879R1
IMPORTANT: Main supplies of electricity and water to
the tumble dryer should remain on at all times for the
fire suppression system to work.
Check Local Codes and Permits
Call your local water company or the proper municipal authority
for information regarding local codes.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have ALL
plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the plumbing is adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT: It is the installation or owner’s responsibility to confirm that the necessary or required water,
water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided.
Manufacturer assumes no responsibility if the fire suppression system is not connected, installed, or maintained properly.
Water Requirements
IMPORTANT: Water must be supplied to the fire suppression system, or the fire suppression system will
not operate as intended.
To ensure the fire suppression system operates properly:
•Water supply requirements: 3/4 inch hose connections providing 15 gpm [57 lpm] minimum flow; Water pressure 20 psi
[138 kPa] minimum, 120 psi [827 kPa] maximum; water temperature 40°F [4.5°C] minimum, 120°F [49°C] maximum
must be maintained at all times.
•Electric power to the tumble dryer must be provided at all
times.
•Perform preventative maintenance checks every month. Refer
to Operation/Maintenance Manual.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 psi [138 kPa] will
cause low flow at water solenoid valve.
If the rear of the tumble dryer or the water supply is located in an
area where it will be exposed to cold/freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.
IMPORTANT: Temperature of the water supply must be
kept between 40°F and 120°F [4.5°C and 49°C]. If water
in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the
fire suppression system will not operate.
IMPORTANT: If temperature sensors inside the tumble
dryer register a temperature below 40F° [4.5°C], the fire
suppression system control will lock out. This feature
protects against operation of the tumble dryer with a
possible frozen water supply. Only when the temperature sensors register a temperature above 40F° [4.5°C]
will the machine reset for operation.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be
used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing connections will void the warranty. It is recommended that
a filter or strainer be installed in the water supply line.
Water Connections
Connect machine to a backflow preventer (vacuum breaker) before connecting to the public water main in all countries where
local regulations require specific water approval certificates.
Two hoses and a Y-valve are provided with the tumble dryer to
allow for connection of water supply to tumble dryer. The water
connections are made to the bushings of the water solenoid valve,
located on the rear of the tumble dryer. The Y-valve provides a
single female hose connection (Standard US 3/4-11 1/2 NH
thread). Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 .
To connect the two hoses (supplied with tumble dryer), insert
rubber washers (from literature pack) in water inlet hose couplings. Refer to Figure 4 .
renovated building. Then connect the hoses to the Y-valve; connect the Y-valve to the connections at the rear of the tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger tight, then turn 1/4 turn with pliers. Do
not cross thread or overtighten couplings.
IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop
cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature
and constant high pressure they are subjected to. All
hoses should be checked on a yearly basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs
of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced every five years.
