INTRODUCTION
These general notes and recommendations are intended
to complement the equipment drawing(s) and thereby
further assist in achieving satisfactory installation of the
equipment. The information on this and the enclosed
drawing(s) is based upon the design and construction of
the equipment as of the date of the design and
construction of the equipment as of the date of the
drawing.
SPACE CONSIDERATIONS
Floor Levelness
Floor space in load/unloading areas of equipment to be
level within 1/16. For instances of multiple installations
this tolerance should be held for the entire span of
installed equipment.
Clearances
The clearance dimensions shown on each drawing are
the minimum considered necessary to allow space for
servicing and operating the equipment.
Clearance in front of sterilizer, for comfortable loading
and unloading operations, should equal about twice the
inside length of the sterilizer chamber unless otherwise
specified on Equipment Drawing.
Dimensions
Attention must be given to all printed dimensions shown
on each drawing, since no attempt has been made to
hold these drawings to any specific scale.

Cabinet-enclosed Sterilizer
Cabinet-enclosed units should be located in a wellventilated room from which heat and steam vapors may
be dispelled rapidly. A separate floor drain is
recommended for each cabinet-enclosed sterilizer, to be
located within the confines of the sterilizer framework.

Terminal Fittings
Unless installation is purchased from STERIS, piping
and other components between terminal fittings on the
equipment and wall or floor outlets (stubbing) are not
furnished by STERIS.
Pipe Sizes
Pipe sizes listed on equipment drawing indicate the
equipment termination sizes only. Size of supply piping
is dependent on length of pipe run from pressure
regulating station / source and is determined by
Mechanical Engineer to ensure adequate supply service
pressure and demand flow at equipment terminals.
Effect of coincident draw of multiple unit installations
must also be considered.
Backflow Preventer
If local codes require a reduced pressure principle
device on water supply line, it shall be provided by
others.
Blow Down Valve
Recommended provisions of blow down valve at each
facility steam and water strainer to enable strainer clean
out.
Blow down building steam and water supply lines before
final connection to equipment.
Shutoff Valves
Provide piping shutoff valve, pipe plugged tee and union
in steam and water supply connections between each
piece of equipment and stub outs, so that the unit can be
serviced without interruptions of supply to other
equipment. Plugged tee can be used later for test
pressure gauge connection. Arrange connection piping
to allow access to machine components and electrical
control panel.

Notes:
1. Do not connect tap water to stainless teel
generator. Use of water not meeting the
required fee water quality will invalidate the
warranty, and is a violation of ASME boiler
codes.
2. Failure to correct utility pressure and steam
quality will result in reduced equipment
performance which may affect overall
equipment performance.
