3.0 Plumbing Requirements
The automated pre-clean machine requires specific plumbing provisions for both water supply and drainage to ensure optimal performance and prevent operational issues.
Water Supply Connection
A continuous supply of clean, potable water is essential for the machine's operation. Ensure the connection meets the following specifications:
- Connection: ¾" BSP threaded inlet
- Pressure: 2–6 bar (29–87 psi)
- Temperature: 5–40°C (41–104°F)
- Flow Rate: Minimum 10 litres/minute

Drainage Requirements
Adequate drainage is crucial to manage wastewater effectively and maintain a sanitary operating environment. Adhere to these guidelines for proper drainage setup:
- 50mm (2") diameter waste pipe
- Positioned directly below the machine's drain outlet
- Minimum fall of 1:50 for gravity drainage
- Appropriate trap (P-trap or S-trap) required
- Proper ventilation to prevent siphoning
