C24EA SERIES ELECTRIC CONVECTION STEAMERS
• If you have purchased a water filtration
system from Vulcan Hart, please follow
the instructions provided with the water
filtration system. At the time of installation
you must register your steamer at
www.vulcanhart.com/filterreg or use the
reply card supplied with your unit. You will
need to register your steamer at each
filter change to ensure your standard and
extended warranty is maintained.
Drain Connection
The 1
1
/2" NPT threaded fitting on the condenser
box must be extended a minimum of 12" (305
mm) - maximum of 72" (1829 mm) away from
steamer base, to an open air gap type drain (see
Figure 1). Do not reduce the 1
1
/2" NPT drain
piping throughout its length. Provide a suitable
floor sink with a minimum depth of 12" (305
mm). The floor sink is NOT to be directly under
the steamer and should be at a distance so that
steam vapors will not enter the steamer from
underneath. The drain should slope down away
from the steamer
1
/4" for every foot of drain pipe
length. The drain pipe should be either iron or
copper. DO NOT use PVC pipe; PVC pipe may
lose its rigidity or glue may fail. A 1
1
/2" air gap is
required for the drain.
CAUTION: In order to avoid any back
pressure in the steamer, do
not make a solid connection to
any drain. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN DAMAGE THE STEAMER
AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.

Temperatures in the drain can briefly reach as
high as 212°F (100°C). Local codes may require
that the temperature of drain water be no greater
than 140°F (60°C). At the end of the day, when
purging the generator, some provision for
lowering the water temperature must be provided
by the user or installer to meet this code
requirement.
VENT HOOD
Local codes may require the steamer to be
located under an exhaust hood. Information on
the construction and installation of ventilating
hoods may be obtained from Vapor Removal
from Cooking Equipment, NFPA standard No.
96 (latest edition).
