INSTALLATION  
1.3. LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION AND LEVELING  
When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters). This  
appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it cannot be curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit this  
appliance’s ability to effect proper component ventilation. The legs/casters must be installed before connecting the  
appliance to the gas supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure  
adequate air supply to the combustion system. Use the following procedure  
Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers.  
1. Remove all loose accessories and carefully place the appliance on its back to avoid damage to the cabinet and  
splash back. Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down. Take care  
not to pinch any electrical cords between the cabinet and the floor.  
2. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires four 1/4-20 x 5/8”  
hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.  
3. Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom, see diagram below) of the  
appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use separate lock  
washers.  
4. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit upright, being careful not to put too much weight  
on any one leg or caster. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling devices (B) with  
water pump pliers. Rotating the leveling device in a Clockwise (CW) direction will reduce the height of the  
appliance, Counter Clockwise rotation will increase the height of the appliance. For casters, loosen 2 set screws  
(A) before leveling, adjust the height, then retighten.  
WARNING  
This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer.  
WARNING  
DO NOT install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when  
appliance is in operation or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.

INSTALLATION  
1.4. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS  
The plumbing installation should be done by a licensed plumber and must comply with local and national codes.  
The instructions for appliances connected to the water mains by detachable hose sets shall state that new hose sets  
will be used and that the old hose sets should not be reused (if applicable).  
1.4.1. WATER INLET CONNECTIONS  
If your appliance is equipped with a faucet or a water fill option connections to a potable water supply will be  
required. If a single water connection is required it is recommended that the appliance is connected to hot water  
supply. This will greatly decrease the time and energy required for the appliance to reach operating temperature.  
Prior to installation, a water treatment specialist should inspect the water supply. Water hardness should contain  
no more then 2.0 grains/gallon. The pH level should be between 6.5 and 8.0. These conditions can be obtained  
with the use of a properly maintained water softener. The incoming water pressure should be between 20 psi (138  
kPa) to 60 psi (414 kPa). For higher water pressures, a high-pressure regulator must be installed to inlet plumbing  
to avoid damage caused by water hammer. The maximum allowable incoming water temperature is 180°F  
(82°C). Have your water tested and record the measured values below.  
WARNING  
When water is at a high temperature and high pressure, excessive splashing of hot water  
may occur that could result in injury.

1.4.2. DRAIN CONNECTIONS  
Each tank has a drain that can be connected to a drainage system. Each tank also has an overflow line. The  
overflow connection is after the drain valve to provide an unobstructed overflow path. The tank drain and  
overflow line for each tank is connected together to form a common drain line.  
When there are more than 2 appliances joined together the common drains can be connected together with a  
manifold that has a 1-1/4” NPT outlet connection. The outlet on the can be mounted so it can drain under the left  
or right hand unit.

INSTALLATION  
1.5. GAS CONNECTION  
Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas  
flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1 and  
NFPA 54 (latest editions). In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas  
line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified installation professional, your local gas company or by  
referring to the National Gas Fuel Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The  
gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to  
any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4 mbars,  
1.74 kPa) and 10.0” W.C. (24.9 mbars, 2.49 kPa) natural gas or between 11.0” W.C. (27.4 mbars, 2.74 kPa) and 13.0”  
W.C. (32.4 mbars, 3.25 kPa) propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full  
demand. The pressure at the gas valve must not exceed 1/2 PSI.  
Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended  
to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.  
WARNING  
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas other than the one that is indicated on the data  
plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation and could result in serious  
injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact the  
dealer you purchased it from.  
NOTICE  
NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This  
may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance  
and improper operation.  
1.5.1. QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION  
In North America gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the  
Standard for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16 latest edition. This connection should include a  
quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel,  
ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9 latest edition.  
When installing the appliance you must also install adequate means for limiting the movement of the appliance  
without depending on the connector or quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the movement of  
the appliance. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance on the back panel.  
1.5.2. FUEL SUPPLY LINE LEAK AND PRESSURE TESTING  
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a  
pressure greater than 1/2 PISG (3.45 kPa), insure that that appliance is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel  
line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), the appliance can be connected  
during the test, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with leak detection  
solution, or a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.

1.9.5. MAIN BURNER SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT  
For the main burners to operate the manual gas supply valve (1, Figure 2) must be open, the gas valve control  
knob (5, Figure 2) must be on, and the appliance must be turned on by the digital control (4, Figure 1). The main  
burners receive gas from the main gas supply through the thermostatically controlled gas valve. When the water  
temperature drops below the preset temperature the gas control valve opens.  
The main burners must be adjusted to the nominal burner pressure to deliver optimum flame. Refer to the  
following procedure to adjust the main burners.  
1. Ensure that the shut off valve (1,Figure 2) is shut off, remove the steel plug from the manifold pressure tap  
(7, Figure 2) and connect an accurate pressure gauge (range of 0-16 “W.C. (39.85 mbar, 3.98 kPa) in 0.1”  
(.25 mbar, .02 kPa) increments) or manometer.  
2. Open the shut off valve, turn on the appliance and all other appliances connected to the gas supply line and  
light their main burners. The pressure reading should be taken when all the appliances main burners are  
operating. The pressure reading of the appliance should not drop from the nominal burner pressure. Any loss  
of pressure indicates inadequate supply line installation, which will cause poor performance of all appliances  
during peak usage. The main gas supply pressure should only be checked by an authorized professional.  
3. The pressure reading of the appliance should be within ±0.1” W.C. (.25 mbar, .02 kPa) of the nominal  
pressure setting marked on the data plate located on the inside of the appliance door. If the pressure is  
correct, go to step 6, if the pressure needs to be adjusted, continue to step 4.  
4. To adjust the pressure, remove the cap on the regulator adjustment screw (3) and, with a flat head  
screwdriver, adjust the regulator screw until the proper burner pressure is reached. Turning the screw  
clockwise (CW) will increase the burner pressure. Turning the screw counterclockwise (CCW) will decrease  
the burner pressure. Refer to the gas table (s) in Sec. 1.5.3 & 1.5.4 of this manual.  
5. When the pressure is correct, replace the cap for the regulator adjustment screw (3).  
6. Turn off the ALL appliances, shut the main gas valve (1) to your Pitco appliance and remove the pressure  
gauge. Apply pipe joint compound to the Plug for the manifold pressure tap (7), and replace it insuring that it  
is tight and leak free. A soap and water solution can be used to check for leaks during normal operation.  
7. No further adjustment is required. The burner system has been designed to operate at peak performance  
with the optimum burner pressure, and the SCB system cleaning the main burners.
