Electrical Supply Connection - Observe all local, national, or other applicable codes
Three phase models of the Connectionless Steamer are supplied with a cord set ready
to be connected to a power supply. See the chart below for the correct matching
receptacle (not supplied with the unit).
Single phase models are designed to be directly connected (hard wired) to the electrical
supply and allow sufficient loop in the flexible conduit to facilitate inspection, servicing,
and cleaning.
Branch Circuit Protection
Each steamer, including individual units of stacked models, should have its own branch
circuit protection and ground wire. Current and power demands for each unit are as
shown below.

Water Connection(s) - Units Manual Filled
No water connection is needed. The water will be poured directly into the water cavity
reservoir. Avoid the use of any chemically treated water specifically filtered water.
Water Connection(s) - Units with Autofill
Make sure that the incoming water connection is made with a 3/4” H. COLD water
hose. Rigid pipe is not required. The water pressure should be between 30 and 60
PSIG. Higher pressures will require the use of a pressure regulator. Make sure that all
connections are tight with no leaks - no matter how small.
Drain Connection
The connectionless steamer should be manually drained to the bottom containment pan
supplied by the factory. If the unit is connected to a drain, do not connect more than two
units to one drain line or pressure from one unit will effect the second unit.
