SUPER STEAMER, HIGH EFFICIENCY GAS BOILER
TWO OR THREE COMPARTMENT MODELS

SERVICE CONNECTIONS:

GAS CONNECTION: 1" NPT.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR CONTROLS: 120/60/1,

300 watt maximum, power supply with grounding wire required.
(For other than 120 volt supply consult factory for location of
this connection.)

DRAIN: Condenser box, compartment and boiler, 11/4" NPT.
(Provide an open air type drain within 12" of condenser box and
for best results at a distance so that steam vapors will not enter
the steamer from underneath the control area. Do not connect
solidly to any drain connections.)

COLD WATER CONNECTION: 1/2" NPT for boiler feed. Inlet
water pressure between 20 and 60 psi.

COLD WATER CONNECTION: 1/8" NPT for condensate box.
Inlet water pressure between 20 and 60 psi.

STEAM TAKE-OFF CONNECTION: 3/4" NPT.

WATER QUALITY STATEMENT:

The fact that a water supply is potable is no guarantee that it is suitable
for steam generation. Your water supply must be within these general
guidelines:

SUPPLY PRESSURE 20 - 60 psig
HARDNESS* less than 3 grains
SILICA less than 13 ppm
TOTAL CHLORIDE less than 4.0 ppm
pH RANGE 7-8
UN-DISSOLVED SOLIDS less than 5 microns

* 17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness

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.

IMPORTANT:

1. A pressure regulator sized for this unit is included. Minimum supply
pressure: Natural gas 7" W.C., Propane gas 11" W.C.

2. Gas line connecting to unit must be 3/4" or larger. If flexible connectors
are used, the inside diameter must be at least the same as the 3/4" iron
pipe.

3. An adequate ventilation system is required for commercial cooking
equipment. Information may be obtained by writing to the National
Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02289.
When writing, refer to NFPA No. 96.

4. These units are manufactured for installation in accordance with
ANSZ223.1A (latest edition), National Fuel Gas Code. Copies may be
obtained from the American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Blvd.,
Arlington, VA 22209.

5. Clearance: Combustible Non-Combustible

Rear 6" 6"
Left & Right Side 6" 6"

NOTE:

• Dimensions which locate the above connections have a tolerance of

+ or -3" (+ or -75 mm).

• Installation of backflow preventers, vacuum breakers and other specific

code requirements is the responsibility of the owner and installer. It is
the responsibility of the owner and installer to comply with local codes.

• Plastic drains are not recommended due to inherent limited tempera-

tures of the plastic. Boiler purge temperatures may exceed 180°F. The
installer may be required to provide means to reduce boiler purge water
temperature to be that of the condensate temperature of 140°F or less.

• This appliance is manufactured for commercial installation only and is

not intended for home use.

NOTE: In line with its policy to continually improve its products, Vulcan-Hart Company reserves the right to change materials and
specifications without notice.
