Installation
Water Connection
24
Individual hot and cold plumbing lines with
individual shut-off valves must be available
to the machine. Hot water should be
minimum of 160F (70C). If lower
temperature water is used the machine
should be equipped for steam heating to
heat the wash solution to desired
temperature. Best performance will be
realized if water is provided at a pressure of
30-85 psi (2-7 Bar). Although the machine
will function properly at lower pressures,
increased fill times will occur.
Flush the water system for at least two
minutes prior to initial use..
Use flexible hoses and install separate
screen filters in the lines to keep rust and
other foreign particles out of the solenoid
valves. Hang the hoses in a large loop. Do
not allow the hoses to kink. The water
connections to the machine should be
supplied by a hot and cold water line of
least the sizes shown in the table below.
Installation of additional machines will
require proportional larger water lines, see
table.
To avoid eventual water hammer in the
water line, suitable devices to reduce the
water hammer should be installed.
