Before you install the Glassware Washer, prepare your site for installation.
Carefully examine the location where you intend to install the Glassware Washer.
You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a
hot water source, a drain, a purified water source (if applicable), and an electrical
source must be located near the installation site. A cold water source is required
when the optional Cool Drain Water Kit is installed.
Refer to Appendix C: Glassware Washer Specifications for complete Glassware
Washer electrical and environmental conditions, specifications and requirements.
Hot Water Requirements
An existing hot water supply may be used as the hot water source for your
Glassware Washer. Labconco recommends the inlet water temperature to be
greater than 120°F (49°C) to fully activate powdered detergents and raise the
glassware temperature to achieve fast and complete drying. Hotter water will
produce better washing results.
Water pressure must be between 20-120 psi (138-827 kPa) at the washer and
provide a minimum of 1.25 gallons (4.7 liters) per minute flow rate.
A shut-off valve should be installed in the water supply line plumbed to the
washer. The hot water inlet valve on the Glassware Washer is equipped with a
female 3/8 NPT fitting. A compression fitting is provided that connects to .375"
(9.53mm) OD copper tubing.
Purified Water Requirements
To use purified water for the rinse cycles, a purified water supply is required. The
washer can be connected to an in-house, pressurized, purified water tap; a water
purification system; or a non-pressurized purified water container.
