Notes:
• Dashed lines indicate provided by installer.
• The water supply inlet is more than 1” (25 mm) above the skim/overflow port, eliminating the possibility of backflow or siphoning from the chamber.
No additional backflow prevention is required; however, governing codes prevail.

If piping run
is over 10’ (3 m)
increase pipe to

Open drain required. Locate air gap only in
spaces with adequate temperature and air
movement to absorb flash steam; otherwise,
condensing on nearby surfaces may occur.
Refer to governing codes for drain pipe size
and maximum discharge water temperature.
