DRAIN
There is one drain connection on the pit. This drain is used for draining the
grease and cleaning the cooking chamber. It extends from the side of the pit
near the center and close to the bottom. Install the drain valve onto the
threaded pipe nipple. If possible, a floor drain should be located near this
drain valve as suggested in Figures 1, 3, and 5. This will be of convenience
when the pit is being cleaned.
It is recommended that the unit be placed on a four to six inch thick concrete
pad as shown on Figures 1, 3, and 5. This elevates the pit drain valve an
additional four to six inches off the floor and facilitates grease handling. With
a pad, the bottom of the grease drain valve would be nine to eleven inches off
your finished floor versus five inches without a pad. We offer a four or
six inch high structural steel base frame to use in lieu of a concrete pad.
Alternatively, you may use a shallow grease pan, pump the grease to your
storage area, or pipe the grease to an adjacent location where an elevation
difference would permit the use of a deeper pan. Use Figures 2 and 4 to locate
the pit in your building so that the smokestack can be installed vertically
with no offsets (avoiding building structural members). Whether a pad is
used or not, the pit must be installed on a solid, level, non-combustible
surface.
MODEL 700E AND MODEL 1300E
The unit will be shipped fully assembled. A Model 700E will weigh 4,200
pounds
and a Model 1300E will weigh 6,600 pounds. The meat racks
will be packed inside the cooking compartment. If you ordered a smokestack
kit, it will either be packed inside, or shipped on a separate pallet. There will
be a grease drain valve packed inside the firebox, along with the
firebox door handle. To move a Model 700E into your building,
you will need a minimum opening of 60 inches in width and 83 inches in
height (60” X 86”). For a Model 1300E, you will need a minimum opening
of 72 inches in width and 92 inches in height (72”X 95”). The height
requirements can be reduced by 3” by removing the damper actuator motors
on the top of the unit.
A Model 700E can be handled with a forklift if the lift has a
6,000 pound capacity. A Model 1300E will require an 8,000 pound lift.
The extra capacity lifts are necessary due to the size of the units.
Whenever possible, the unit should be trucked from the rear. Alternatively,
a crane can be used by rigging onto the four lifting lugs welded onto the top of
the unit
