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.

SERVICE CONNECTIONS:

Gas Connection:

Electric Connection for Controls: 120/60/1, 300 watt maxi-

mum, 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 gap type drain within 12" of condenser
box and for best results at a distance so that steam vapors will
not enter the steamers from underneath the control area. Do
not connect solidly to any drain connection.)

Cold Water Connection: 1/2" NPT for boiler feed. Inlet filtered
water pressure between 20 and 80 psi.

Cold Water Connection:1/8" NPT for condensate box. Inlet

unfiltered water pressure between 20 and 80 psi.

Steam Take-off Connection: 3/4" NPT.

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 tempera­tures 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.
