INSTALLATION
1. Requirements
The F.S.S. must be supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1/2” and be provided with 40 psi +/- 20 psi
(2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source with the same
piping and pressure requirements is required.
Flexible 1/2 feeds must be provided to avoid damage to electric water solenoid valve by vibration.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.
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.
WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the F.S.S. will be
INOPERATIVE!!
IMPORTANT: Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using a new hose set and the old
hose set should not be reused.
2. Water Connections:
The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH
hose adaptor, located at the rear upper midsection
of the dryer (refer to the photo).
NOTE: The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose
coupling screw thread. It is not to be
confused with 3/4” N.P.T. The sealing of
an NH connection is made with a washer
opposed to the mating threads of an
N.P.T. assembly. The two (2) thread
designs are not compatible.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY. It is recommended that a filter
or strainer be installed in the water supply line.
