  • Page 7 Water Requirements The water supply for non-heated models can be tap or purified water. An existing hot water supply may be used as the water source. Though not required, Labconco recommends the inlet water temperature be greater than 120°F (49°C). Hotter water will produce better washing results but should not exceed 140°F (60°C).

  • Page 8: Chapter 2: Prerequisites

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites The heated models do not require a heated water source for the tap or the pure water but using heated water will allow the washer to reach the 140°F (60°C) wash temperature faster. Water pressure for both tap and pure water must be between 8-120 psi (55-827 kPa) at the washer and provide a minimum of 1.33 gallons (5.0 liters) per minute flow rate.
  • Page 9 Chapter 2: Prerequisites When using the quick connect hose coupling the washer base should be no more than 12” (30.4 cm) below the outlet of your faucet. If a dedicated drain is preferred, a standpipe should be connected to the building drain plumbing that the drain hose can be insert into.
