INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, DIRECT STEAM TILTING KETTLES, MODELS DLT, DPT

1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Select a location to provide drainage for kettle pour path when tilted and for draw-off valve
if so equipped.
2. Mark hole locations through flanged adjustable feet on DLT models and through pedestal
base on DPT models. Remove kettle.
3. On hole locations marked, drill holes and insert expansion shields to accommodate
5/16" size lag bolts.
4. Reposition kettle. On DLT models level kettle by making necessary adjustment on
flanged foot.
5. Bolt down kettle and seal with Silastic or other equivalent sealing compound. Sealant
must be applied not only to bolt heads but also around flanges or pedestal base making
contact with floor surface to fulfil NSF requirements.
6. Connect steam line (3/4" pipe size) to the kettle, making sure there is a steam control
valve strainer fairly convenient to the kettle.
7. Connect kettle condensate return line to a drain or to a boiler return line. Each kettle
return line must have a suitable steam trap. Boiler return lines must have a check valve.
8. Safety relief valve on kettle must not be plugged as it is set to relieve excess pressure in
the kettle.
9. If incoming steam pressure is greater than kettle maximum operation pressure then a
pressure reducing valve must be installed in the line.
10. If large amounts of water accumulate in the steam line it will be necessary to install one or
more ball float traps in the line to eliminate the water.
11. A steam line pressure gauge is also recommended to determine the actual amount of
steam being supplied to the kettle.
12. Check for proper operation.
