Installation Procedure, RO system
Position the storage tank in the desired location. (See storage tank installation procedures for more information). The RO
should be installed within 15 feet of the storage tanks. We recommend that you allow at least 6 inches of clearance on all
sides of the RO to facilitate service. Feedwater, drain and electrical connections are also required. Small enclosed and
unventilated spaces (e.g. cabinets) must be avoided or the motor may overheat.
Wall mounting the RO.
1. Position the wall mount bracket in the desired position. The holes
in the bracket (16" centers) must line up with wood studs in the
wall. (See Figure 5.) Use all six of the #12 x 1 1/2" phillips
screws provided.
2. If wood studs are not available, a 3/4" sheet of plywood (20" x
20" x 3/4" or larger) should be mounted to the wall (See Figure
6.) using appropriate hardware for the type of wall and the weight
(100 Ibs) to be supported. (This hardware is not included with the
SteamerGard System). The wall mount bracket can then be
mounted to the plywood using the six, #12 x 1 1/2" phillips
screws provided.
3. Inspect the back of the vertical panel of the RO. There will be a
black circular rubber "well nut" pressed into a hole near the
center of the panel with a 1/4" x 3/4" phillips head machine screw
and washer screwed into it. Next, tip the RO up and look
underneath it. There will be two "well nuts" in the bottom.
Remove the 1/4" x 3/4" phillips head machine screws from the
well nuts. Leave the well nuts in the frame.
4. With the wall mount bracket securely installed, lift the RO into
position on the bracket. Note that the tabs on the upper shelf of
the wall mount bracket must engage the rectangular cut outs in
the vertical panel of the RO frame.
5. From behind the frame, locate the tab bent down from the upper
shelf. Align the "well nut" in the center of the frame with the hole
in this tab and insert a 1/4" x 3/4" phillips head machine screw
through the hole in the tab and screw it into the well nut in the
frame. (See Figure 7.)
5. From below the lower shelf, locate the two holes that correspond
with rubber mounted nuts in the bottom of the RO frame. Insert a
1/4" x 3/4" phillips head machine screw into each of these nuts
and tighten. (See Figure 7.)
