As a guide to the tube size required if changing the tube is considered, the nominal tube sizes for
STAT
IM
2000 models as fitted during production should be as follows:
Unit / Voltage Rating Nominal Tubing
*STATIM 100 V
0.0270
*STATIM 115 V
0.0255
*STATIM 230 V
0.0245
Note: These are for aluminium boilers only. If a unit is fitted with a stainless steel steam
generator, the value will likely be in the region of a difference of 0.0040” larger. For example, a
0.0245” tube fitted to an aluminium steam generator may be 0.0285” on a stainless steel steam
generator.
If, as a result of a failed pump flow check after a filter maintenance, the tube may be changed
as follows (see Figure 12):
1. Turn the unit OFF.
2. Using a 3/8-inch wrench disconnect the pump tube (1) from the top of the steam generator
(2) or pump test bottle (6) as appropriate, and disconnect the other end from the pump outlet
fitting (3). Record the orifice diameter and discard the tube.
3. Select a smaller or larger size tube (depending on whether pump is over or under delivering).
Note: There is no prescribed formula over which diameter to select. Selection will need to
be based on perception of the under or over delivery amount.
4. Connect the pump end of the new tube to the pump outlet fitting. A label on the tube indicates
the tube orifice diameter. An arrow on the label indicates the direction in which the tube must
be installed. The arrow must point towards the steam generator when installed.
5. Thread the other end of the replacement tube (4) to the fitting (5) on the pump test bottle (6)
until finger tight. Do not cross thread the fittings. Do not overtighten.
