3.0 WARNINGS
3.1 The GI-2000 uses heating elements in its operation. Therefore, the unit must always
be filled with water. Elements damaged by electricity prior to the unit being filled with
water will void any said warranties.
3.2 To maintain optimum system performance and accuracy it is necessary to remove
solids accumulations in the tank on a regular basis.
4.0 PLUMBING INSTALLATION
4.1 INSTALLER
Installation is to be performed by a licensed and certified plumber.
4.2 LOCATION OF GRD
The Plumbing & Drainage Institute (PDI) recommends that the unit be located within
25’ or as close as possible to the source of grease being served. The unit may be set
on the floor, partially recessed or completely recessed below the floor. If the unit is to
be recessed you must have proper installation of the electrical hook-up, drain line
and LCD control unit.
4.3 CLEARANCE
When installing, ensure that there is 6” minimum clearance per side for latch removal.
Also provide a minimum of 24” on the outlet end in the event that the heating elements
require service. Provide adequate space on the inlet side for installation or flow control
servicing. When installing the GI-2000 in a pit/vault provide a drain or a sump pump to
prevent water damage.
4.4 LEVELING THE UNIT
The GRD must be leveled from front to back and from side to side. The unit must be
leveled prior to calibration.
4.5 IMPORTANCE OF FLOW CONTROL FITTING
Extensive test reports conclude that both satisfactory operation and maximum
efficiency of the GI-2000 is dependant on the proper rate of flow for the GI-2000
connected, which is accomplished by a flow control fitting. As a result, a specially
designed Josam flow control fitting with a 3”, 4”, 5” or 6” threaded inlet and outlet
connection, depending on size of unit, and a threaded air intake is furnished with every
GI 2000 at no extra cost. The flow control must be installed to prevent overloading the
trap and to maintain maximum grease retention efficiency.
