Water Information _____________________
Before You Start
Check Local Codes and Permits
Call your local water company or the proper municipal
authority for information regarding local codes.
Important
It is your responsibility to have all plumbing
connections made by a qualified professional to
ensure that the plumbing installation is adequate and
conforms to local, state, and federal regulations or codes.
It is the installer’s or owner’s responsibility to see that the
required water pressure, pipe size, or connections are
provided. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility if
the fire suppression system is not connected, installed, or
maintained properly.
Installation
Water Supply
The fire suppression system must be supplied with a
minimum water pipe size of 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) and be
provided with 40 psi +/- 20 psi (2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of
pressure.
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 fire suppression system will be
inoperative!!
Water Connections
The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH hose
adaptor, which is shipped in the tumbler and must be installed
to the 1/2” N.P.T. water connection, located at the upper rear
of the dryer. A flexible supply line/coupling must be used in
an effort to avoid damaging the electric water solenoid valve.
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 2 thread designs are not compatible.
It is recommended that a filter or strainer be installed in the
water supply line.
