Equipment Setup
GENERAL
When placing the unit into service, pay attention to the
following guidelines:
• Make sure power to the unit is off.
• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
ELECTRICAL
Ensure that the line voltage corresponds to the stated
voltage on the units specification label. Make sure that
the plug on the power cord from the system and the
outlet match. For proper operation, and to ensure the
highest quality water from the system, make sure that
the system is not connected to a switched electrical
outlet.
PLUMBING
NOTE: This unit is designed to use tap water not
to exceed 104°F (40°C).
The UF-420 and UF-440 systems use the following con-
nections (Figure 1):
• Water Inlet
3/4” NPT
• Permeate (Product Water)
3/4” NPT
• Drain
3/4” NPT
When making a plumbing connection to the system,
remember to use a back-up wrench on the supporting
plumbing. Always use a good quality, approved, pipe
sealant or Teflon® tape on pipe threads. Be careful not
to get the pipe sealant inside the pipe when making the
connections.
Do not
over-tighten the connections. It is recommend-
ed that plastic fittings be used when connecting to the
INSTALLATION
plastic connections of the system. This will reduce the
possibility of cracking the connections due to overtight-
ening.
If soldered plumbing is used, do not apply heat to, or
near, the filtration system. The use of union (O-ring
seal) connections is highly recommended for ease of
installation and future servicing.
SUGGESTED TOOLS AND SUPPLIES FOR INSTALLATION
The following tools and supplies are suggested to make
the installation easier:
• Screwdriver
• Drill with bits
• Strap wrench
(up to 6” diameter)
• Tape measure
• Two gallon bucket
• Fresh 5 1/4% liq-
uid chlorine bleach
(such as Clorox®)
• Adjustable wrenches
• Pipe wrenches
• Level
• Pipe dope or Teflon®
tape
CAUTION
This equipment is to be installed to comply with
the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials
and Code Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the
Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).
CAUTION
Water pressure must not exceed a membrane
burst pressure of 7 bar (100 psi). To reduce water
pressure, install a water pressure regulator and
set water pressure to suit application. Note that
the trans membrane pressure must be .5 - 2.5 bar
(7 - 36 psi).
Locating and Mounting the system
Consider these points before mounting the system:
• Note the location of the water supply, drain, and
an appropriate electrical outlet when choosing a
mounting location.
• Remember to allow for access to the timer/
programmer controls.
• Do not mount the system above any electrical
equipment, or above items that may be damaged if
they get wet.
