Typical Water Supply
Provisions are made in the dryer fire suppression system for the installation of an optional manual bypass. Depending on
the model dryer, the connections for the manual bypass are made at the “T” or “three way” fitting located in the outlet
supply side of the water solenoid valve. The manual ball cock shutoff valve must be located outside of the dryer at a
distance from the dryer where it is easily accessible. The use and connections of this manual bypass are at the option or
discretion of the owner.
The water connection for the manual bypass is made to the “T” or “three way” fitting, which has a 3/8” F.P.T. and a
coupling must be used to provide the minimum 1/2” supply (feed) line.
If the rear area of the dryer or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/freezing temperatures,
provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.
Optional Manual Bypass
3. Electrical Requirements:
No independent external power source or
supply connection is necessary. The 24-volt
power to operate the fire suppression system
is accomplished internally in the dryer (from
the dryer controls).
WARNING: Electrical power must be
provided to the dryer at
ALL times. If the main
electrical power supply to
the dryer is disconnected,
the fire suppression system
is INOPERATIVE!!
