All service connections must conform with local codes. Refer to the
roughing-in drawing (see Figure 6–1, Sheet 5 on page 6–6) for supply line
pipe sizes and specification requirements for the installation site.
Connect the steam and cold water supplies to the sterilizer. The supply line
connections on the sterilizer are tagged for identification.
Getinge recommends installing pressure gauges in the steam and water
supply lines to monitor the incoming pressure. Since some sterilizer
malfunctions may be caused by inadequate steam or water pressure,
pressure gauges in the supply lines are useful in servicing the sterilizer.
Route the sterilizer drain line to the customer-supplied drain point. Getinge
recommends installing a flexible coupling at the drain line connection point.
Connect the outlet of the pressure relief valve to an appropriate discharge
location per local codes.
NOTE
Use unions on the steam, cold water, drain, and pressure relief valve
connections.
The steam supply to the sterilizer is to meet the steam quality specification
on the roughing-in drawing. Install a thermodynamic steam trap or MP-106
Steam Conditioning Package in order to meet the steam requirement for
the sterilizer. See "Steam Supply Quality" on page 7–3 for more information.
If the sterilizer uses a booster pump, refer to "Booster Pump Package" on
page 5–9 for installation details. The booster pump must be installed before
a cold water supply is connected to the sterilizer.
