WARNING: Risk of property damage. Allow a minimum of 12" (30.5 cm) of air space between and
around all sides of the steam generators at all times. This provides an area for the heat generated
by the units to dissipate.
NOTICE: The steam generators will perform best when they are installed as close as possible to the steam
heads. Both units should be installed within 25' (7.62 m) of the steam heads.
NOTICE: For optimum performance install the steam generators below the level of the steam heads.
NOTE: When possible, use 45 degree elbows. Performance will be increased when 45 degree elbows are
used.
Determine the location of the steam generators. Allow for a 12" (30.5 cm) air gap on all sides of the
generator(s), and 12" (30.5 cm) between them. Allow for a drain pan.
Choose a drain pan appropriate for your installation. The drain pan is not supplied.
