INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, DIRECT STEAM FULL JACKET TILTING KETTLES,
1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Select a location to provide drainage for the kettle pour path when tilted and for the draw-
off valve if so equipped.
2.
Mark hole locations through flanged adjustable feet. Remove the kettle.
3.
On hole locations marked, drill holes and insert expansion shields to accommodate
5/16" size lag bolts.
4.
Reposition the kettle. Level the kettle by making necessary adjustment on flanged foot.
5.
Bolt down kettle and seal with Silastic or other equivalent sealing compound. A 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.
The safety relief valve on the 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.
