WaterJet Support Table/Counter Specifications
4 Site Requirements
Thefollowingfactorsshouldbeconsideredwhenchoosingasuitablelocation
fortheWaterJetunit:
•Typeofconfiguration:countertoporfloor
•ProximitytotheStratasys3Dprinter.
Toavoidwaterdamagetotheprinter,installtheWaterJetinanotherroomor
atleast5meters(16.5feet)awayfromtheprinter.
•Proximitytoanareawheremodelscanbesoakedincausticsoda(sodium
hydroxide),andwheretheycandryafterWaterJettreatment.
4.1 WaterJet Support Table/Counter Specifications
Therecommendedheightofthetable/counteris80cm(31inches).This
establishesaheightof120cm(47.2inches)atarmlevelfortheaverageperson.
Thesupporttableorcountermustbesturdycapableofcarryingaloadofatleast
30kg(66lb).Thetablemustbelevel.
4.2 Water Supply
TheWaterJetsystemrequiresaconnectiontotheregularwatersupply.
Thecustomermustsupplyasuitablewatertap.Thewatertapshouldbelocated
nextto,orinbackofthewaterpump.
Warning:
Two people are required to lift the WaterJet unit onto the table.

suppliesa3 meter (10 foot) garden hose, necessary clamps and adaptors to
connect the WaterJetunittothewaterpressurepump.
Figure 4–5 Garden hose, hose adapters and hose clamps
Thewaterpressurepumpcanbeplacedupto3meters(10feet)fromthewater

tap,installalongergardenhose(notsupplied).
Usingthepressurehoseandelectricalcablesuppliedwiththepump,youcan
placethewaterpressurepumpupto3meters(10feet)fromtheWaterJetunit.

Important:
The pressure of the water supplied to the water pressure pump after the filter must never
drop below 1 atm.
Lower water pressure may cause the pump to overheat and fail.

4.3 Drain
ThewastewaterfromtheWaterJetunittypicallyemptiesintothebuilding’s
drainagesystem.Therefore,youmustprepareasuitabledrainneartheunit.Itis
recommendedthatyoulocatethedrainpipebehindtheWaterJetunitandbelow
thedrainoutletontheWaterJet.
TheWaterJetunitcomesequippedwithadrainhose,approximately3meters
