6. Install the Water Supply and Steam Line
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.
Install the Water Supply Line to the Generator
NOTE: For all NPT threaded connections, use pipe tape or pipe sealant. Do not overtighten the fittings.
Connect to an existing cold water line, 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 generator, flush out the water supply 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 generator.
Connect the water supply line to the steam generator.
Fill the steam generator with water and check for leaks.
NOTICE: Steam generators are equipped with an automatic shut-off. The water will stop after the unit is
full. If the water flows out of the steam outlet shut off the water and consult the "Troubleshooting Guide"
or contact the Customer Care Center using the number located on the back of this document.
If the water supply line exceeds 10' (3 m) or is exposed to cold areas, insulate the piping with
appropriate insulation.
