PROCESS AND

WATER SUPPLY

LINES

Tools for installation:

❒Pipe wrench large enough for a 2-inch pipe

❒Premium quality Teflon thread sealant

The chiller process inlets and outlets must be connected to the plumbing that will circulate the temperature-controlled water or fluid through the process. Cooling water inlets and outlets are connected to the cooling water supply.

1 Remove the shipping pipe plug from the female

connections on the back of the chiller.

2 Install pipe to the rear of the chiller.

Use appropriately sized male NPT piping for the process connections and the MPW condenser water connections.

Coat the pipe threads with thread sealant.

Follow the sealant manufacturer’s directions.

Connect the male pipe to the appropriate female connection on the back of the unit.

Connections are labeled on the chiller. Start by hand until the threads engage, then use a pipe wrench to tighten the connection only enough to prevent leaks.

Do not over-tighten!
