6. Install the Water Supply and Steam Lines

WARNING: Risk of personal injury or property damage. Do not plumb the pressure relief valve

into the steam line. Plumbing the pressure relief valve into the steam line can create a hazard if the

steam line is blocked or obstructed.

WARNING: Risk of scalding. Do not plumb a trap, shut-off valve, or pressure relief valve into the

steam line. Plumbing the pressure relief valve into the steam line can be hazardous, if the steam

outlet is capped.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury or property damage. Do not direct the pressure relief valve to

the enclosure. In the event the pressure relief valve activates, the hot water may spray causing

burns to the user and/or damage the enclosure. Therefore, the pressure relief valve should be

directed to an area where damage will not occur from contact with hot water and should conform

to national and local plumbing codes.

Install the Water Supply Lines to the Generators

NOTE: For all NPT threaded connections, use pipe tape or pipe sealant. Do not overtighten the ﬁttings.

Connect to an existing cold water line for each steam generator, and run a 3/8″ cold water line to a

shut-off valve before the in-line water ﬁlter.

Before ﬁnal connection to the steam generators, ﬂush out the water feed line into a large pail. This

removes any debris, silt, sand, or other material that may be in the line.

Install 3/8″ copper tubing with a union ﬁtting between the in-line water ﬁlter and the water inlet to

the steam generators.

Connect the water supply lines to the steam generators.

Fill each steam generator with water and check for leaks.
