SECTION 1: MOUNTING THE STEAM GENERATOR
The Waterworks steam generator can be hung on a wall or sit on its base. The best mounting location will satisfy all or most of
the following:
WARNING: The generator will not operate properly, unless it is mounted level with the arrows pointed up.
1.
The generator should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated area
. Suggested locations are under a vanity, in a closet,
attic, crawl space or basement.
Do not mount outdoors
.
2. If the generator will be in an area difficult to access, the water supply should be equipped with easily accessible water shut-
off valve in case of emergency.
3. If the steam line is in an area where the temperature will be below 39°F (4°C), best results can be obtained by insulating the
steam pipe.
Do not mount the generator in an area subject to freezing
.
4. The generator must be mounted in a minimum 7 cubic feet (0,2 cubic meter) space.
5.
The location must allow access for service
! Provide clearance for plumbing and electrical service and for element
removal. See Diagram 1.
6. The steam line should slope to allow condensation to drain. The mounting location should minimize the number of bends
and elbows in the steam line.
7. The mounting location should allow for a drain hook up.
8. The steam line should be less than 20 ft (6 m) long; 3 ft (1 m) is preferred. Steam lines over 20ft (6 m) long should be
insulated.
WARNING:
•
There must be no dips or valleys in the steam line.
•
Install the steam head to avoid potential user direct contact with the steam or where condensation may drip on the user as
this may present a scald hazard.
•
Do not
install any valves or other shut-off devices in the steam line!
•
Do not
interconnect steam lines! A separate steam line is required for each generator!
•
Do not
connect the drain line to the steam line or allow the drain empty into the steam room!
•
Do not
connect the pressure relief valve into the steam line or vent it where someone nearby could be scalded!
Do not
allow the relief valve to vent into the steam room!
