1.  These kettles must be installed on a suitable table or counter top.

2.  On counter top make 7/8" holes at 13 - 3/4" centers for kettle legs on Models KTT-6DS,

KTT-10DS, KTT-12DS and 12, 23-1/2" centers on Model KTT-20DS.  Provide sufficient
space from rear wall to allow for tilting of kettle.

3.  From bottom of stanchions remove mounting lockouts and washers.  Apply Silastic to flared

edge of stanchions.  Insert threaded portion of stanchions through holes.  Replace washers
and locknuts and tighten.  Wipe off excess sealant.

4.  Install a safety relief valve in the steam line set at the maximum operating pressure of the

kettle.  Note that one valve will handle a series of kettles.

5.  Connect steam supply line (½" pipe size) to steam inlet fitting on right stanchion.

6.  Install a steam control valve in steam supply line, preferably near the kettle for ease of

operation.

7.  A pressure reducing valve will be required if the steam supply pressure is greater than the

maximum kettle working pressure.

8.  If large amounts of water are in the steam line it will be necessary to install one or more ball

float traps in the line to eliminate the water.

9.  A steam line pressure gauge is also recommended to determine the actual amount of steam

coming to the kettle.

10. Install a suitable steam trap in condensate line (left stanchion) near the kettle and run

condensate return line to drain.  If the condensate return line will be directed to the boiler,
then it must have a check valve and gate shut off valve near the kettle.
