3
/4" or larger. If flexible connectors
are used, the inside diameter must be at least the same as the
3
/4"

• Installation of backflow preventers, vacuum breakers and other spe-
cific 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.
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
