The VistaCool™ Direct-to-Drain Cooling System for Autoclave Wastewater is typically installed in the base/
sink cabinet of sterilization centers or at the sterilization tower if plumbed with separate water and drain
connections. The 1/4" O.D. Teflon™ High-Temperature Tubing will need to run from the output port of
the STAT
IM
®
Autoclave directly to the system. This exhaust line should run in a progressively descending
trajectory, per STAT
IM
Autoclave requirements.
In many cases, holes will need to be drilled through one or more partitions in order to get the tubing
from the autoclave to the VistaCool Direct-to-Drain Cooling System for Autoclave Wastewater. In order
to protect the tubing from kinking or damage, grommets have been included. Simply drill a 7/8" pilot
hole through the metal or wood partition then push the smooth plastic grommet into the holes. The hole
entering the cabinet where the system is installed should be slightly above the top of the system so the
tubing has a natural gravity angle to help prevent pools of liquid in the tubing.

The system may be installed horizontally or vertically. If installed horizontally, the coolant overflow port must be UP in
the 12 o’clock position. Do not install the system upside down or at an angle other than shown here as acceptable. Affix
both included C-clips securely to the desired mounting surface using appropriate screws to ensure the system does not
move during operation.
