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:

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.

supply, consult factory for location of this connection.)

Drain: Condenser box, compartment and boiler 1
(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 steamer from underneath the control area. Do not connect
solidly to any drain connection.)

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.
