Meiko K-80E - Booster Heater Placement; Accessing the Utility Connections

Page 7
• Where required by local codes, the ducts
can be sleeved inside the edge of the vent
cowl collars.
For this installation, the OUTSIDE
DIMENSION of the ducting, when viewed
from the front of the machine, should be
3-3/4”W x 15-3/4” D. The duct should
overlap the inside of the vent cowl collar
by a maximum of 1/2” to avoid interfering
with the baffle.
3. Install the ducts to the vent cowl collars.
4. Secure the ducts to the collars using sili-
cone sealant.
5. The baffles cannot be properly adjusted
until the machine is turned on. Refer to
Section 3.17, “Final Assembly.”
3.6 Booster Heater Placement
For units that are not equipped with an exter-
nal booster heater (for instance, when using
a building’s boiler as a 180°F water supply),
skip ahead Section 3.7, “Accessing the Util-
ity Connections.”
The booster heater should be positioned at
the unload end of the machine, close to the
water inlet access panel. Meiko recommends
a maximum pipe length from the booster to
the machine’s water inlet of 48”. If a longer
pipe run is necessary, Meiko recommends the
use of pipe insulation to minimize heat loss.
3.7 Accessing the Utility Connections
The utility connections for the machine are
shown in Figure 3-4.
