Installation of the Generator
Water Inlet:
First connect the water treatment cartridge (if applicable) to the water inlet solenoid valve. Then use a 1/2'' flexible stainless steel hose to connect the
other side of the water treatment cartridge and the water supply pipeline. Do not connect to metal water supply pipeline directly as it could damage
the water inlet valve.
IMPORTANT: Only use a cold water supply.
Drain Outlet:
Use 3/4'' copper pipe or stainless steel pipe to connect the drain outlet to the drain pipeline of the house. The drain pipeline should be installed with a
small downward gradient to assist residual water in the steam generator flow through the drain pipe.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use locking pliers to over-tighten the drainpipe connection. Just ensure it's watertight by using PTFE sealing tape. The water which
comes out from the steam generator will be over 100°C so plastic pipe/acrylic pipe/FRP pipe or other similar material pipe will NOT be suitable.
Steam outlet:
Use copper or stainless steel pipe to connect the steam head and the steam outlet pipe of the generator. The pipe should be as short as possible, with
minimal bends and elbows. This is to avoid excessive length in the steam journey and the opportunity for it to condensate within the pipeline.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT install a right angle bend immediately on the steam outlet as the pressure from the steam generator can not exit the steam
unit quick enough and can cause the unit to trip out or activate the pressure valve.
For 7.5kW, 10.5kW and 12kW steam generators, the steam outlet is 3/4''. Use AT LEAST a 3/4'' steam pipe that is stainless steel pipe or copper pipe.
For 15kW and 18kW steam generators, the steam outlets are TWO 3/4'' , Use AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE 3/4'' steam pipes that are stainless steel or
copper. DO NOT cross the two steam pipes..
Attention
: Always choose the right diameter steam pipe, because if the pipe size is smaller than our recommendation, it may cause the steam generator
internal pressure to increase suddenly which may damage the steam generator and be a safety risk.
