One fused electrical connection is required to the contactor of each steamer. All steamers are shipped per customer
order, three phase or single phase. (A kit is available for field conversion to three phase or single phase.) The fused
connection must be wired for the required voltage and maximum amperage as listed in the chart below:
Total Connected Amps
Model STRE-3D Model STRE-5D Voltage
1 Phase 3 Phase 1 Phase 3 Phase
208 V 60 Hz 44 26 53 31
220 V 50/60 Hz 41 24 51 29
240 V 60 Hz 38 22 46 27
480 V 60 Hz 19 11 23 14
W ATER R EQUIREMENTS
To meet warranty requirements, the water supply must be as follows:
Connection
1/4" compression, cold water
Pressure 30 to 60 PSI
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 60 PPM or less
Hardness 2 grains (35 PPM) or less
pH 7.0 to 7.5
Chlorine and/or bromine 1 PPM or less
Maximum Fill Capacity 0.87 gallons
Typical usage is 0.46 gallons per minute at 45 PSI.
In order to minimize service problems and to meet the warranty requirements, a water treatment system (softener) is
recommended when water quality does not meet the limits stated above.
If the split-water-line option is ordered, about one-fifth of the water used is treated water (used to produce steam)
while the rest is untreated water (used to cool the condensate before it leaves the drain).

The drain outlet has a 1" NPT female connector. Do NOT directly connect the drain to a plumbing system unless you
also install an “open funnel” downstream of this connection (see Figure 7 on page 16). There must be no back-flow or
back-pressure into the drain connection!
