Figure 7 – Hot Water and Detergent Requirements
Connect the Hot Water Supply
Plumbing must comply with applicable codes
and regulations. The hot water supply line from
the heater to the air cleaner should be ¾”
copper pipe for AutoClean 2000 and AutoClean
4000 and 1” for the AutoClean 8000.
FIGURE 8 – TYPICAL INSTALLATION FOR
HOT WATER SUPPLY
1. Install the water strainer (supplied) in the hot
water line ahead of the water valve. See
Fig. 8. The strainer protects the valves and
washing jets from clogging.
2. Attach the pressure regulator valve (if water
pressure is over 75 psi ) to the water
strainer.
3. Connect a faucet, if desired, for checking
water temperature.
Connect the Drain
Connect the drain spud (2 inch) in the base of
the AutoClean cabinet to the waste drain. Use a
water trap or check the valve to prevent sewer
odor from entering the air cleaner base and
spreading through the air system. Follow local
codes. Test may have to be preformed to check
total water quality after air cleaner is installed.
Connect the Detergent Bottle
FIGURE 9 – CONNECTING DETERGENT
BOTTLE TO THE CONTROL BOX
1. Insert the plastic hose (supplied) over the
metal tube. See Fig. 9. Fasten the hose
with a clamp.
2. Insert the hose into the bottle. Make certain
the filter screen rests on the bottom of the
bottle.
3. Place the bottle on the hanger.
4. Close the top of the bottle with the stopper
provided to prevent debris from falling into
the detergent.
NOTE: Multiple hoses can be inserted into a
detergent bottle. Maximum horizontal distance
from the air cleaner to the detergent bottle is 20
ft., maximum vertical distance is 7 ft.
