Steam Connection; Water Drain Connection - Maytag MFS18PDFTS Installation And Maintenance Manual

4.7. STEAM CONNECTION

WARNING!
!
INSTALL A STEAM SUPPLY DISCONNECTING DEVICE IN THE VINICITY OF EACH WASHER.
DISCONNECT THE STEAM SUPPLY ALWAYS BEFORE ANY SERVICE OR INTERVENTION, GIVING
SUFFICIENT TIME TO COOL DOWN THE PARTS TO AVOID INJUIRES.
WARNING!
!
IT IS NECESSARY TO INSERT A FILTER WITH PERMEABILITY UP TO 300 MICROMETERS IN FRONT
OF THE STEAM VALVE. POSSIBLE DIRT BIGGER THAN 300 MICROMETERS MIGHT DAMAGE THE STEAM
VALVE AND CAN CAUSE ITS LEAKAGE.

4.8. WATER DRAIN CONNECTION

The machine is equipped with a drain valve of OD 76 mm (3"). The drain outlet is situated on the rear
of the machine. The drain has to be connected to the waste channel. You can use the elbow, which is a part
of the delivery when ordered. Secure the elbow with a clamp.
THE WASTE CHANNEL MUST BE LOCATED LOWER THAN THE DRAIN PIPES BECAUSE THE WATER
DISCHARGES FROM THE MACHINES BY GRAVITY. DO NOT REDUCE THE DIAMETER OF THE MACHINE
DRAIN PIPES.
1. Waste channel cover
2. Drain elbow 76 mm / 3"
3. Clamp
4. Waste channel
Without rubber feet:
X1 = 55 mm / 2.16"
With rubber feet:
X1 = 73 mm / 2.87"
X2 > 100 mm / 3.93"
X3 > 20 mm / 0.78"
The main drain pipe must have the capacity to be able to handle the total output of all connected machines.
There must also be a hole every twenty meter in the drainpipe, fig.4.8.B., pos.1 to assure the good working
of the drain. This allows air in the main drain and facilitates drainage of the water flow. Every time a machine
is coupled on the drainpipe, the diameter of the tube or the width of the waste channel must be more.
See, fig.4.8.B., D1, D2, D3.
The recommended drain pipes diameter are:
D1 = 75 mm / 3" for one machine
D2 = 100 mm / 4" for two machines
D3 = 125 mm / 5" for three machines
If the main drain cannot be sufficiently deodorized, install a deodorizer per machine.
