Use the shortest possible path with the fewest number of bends to connect to the outlet ductwork.
Measured backpressure should not exceed 0.3 inches of water column pressure for reliable ignition
and best results. Don’t guess, measure!
Important: Under no circumstance should this ductwork be shared with other equipment.
Note: Check for proper exhaust fan rotation direction before placing the equipment into ser-
vice. If the rotation is incorrect, remove power from the machine and exchange any two incom-
ing power leads.

Steam Connections
For best results, operate with a steam pressure of 90-125 psi (6.2-8.6 bar). The steam inlet and
return are located on the rear of the machine. The inlet is marked as such and is 3/4” NPT (IS-
14120), 1” NPT (IS-18120 & IS-24120) or 1-1/4” NPT (IS-32120). The return is marked as such and
is 1/2” NPT (IS-14120 & IS-18120), or 3/4” NPT (IS-24120), or 1” NPT (IS-32120).
Important: Insulate all steam and return lines for the safety of the operator and service technician.
Important: All steam components must be rated for a minimum of 200 psi (14 bar) working pres-
sure. Shut off valves must be installed upstream of the steam inlet, and downstream of the steam
trap so that the equipment can be isolated for maintenance or emergency.
Important: Support all steam lines and components to minimize the load on the steam connections
