Topics:

• What type of drain is required for the Electric Steamer Module (SM15T, IS15/S) to attach to a sink drain?
• What is the drain connection size?
• Should the drain line be heat resistant?
• What to do if water is leaking from the bottom of the steamer?

Answer:

The Steamer Module has a 5/8" ID drain outlet. A drain hose is not supplied with the unit. The unit does not require a specific material for the drain but it should be heat resistant. Drain requirements include:

• The drain outlet can connect directly to a heat-resistant drain pipe.
• Drain hose must flow downward to an existing sink drain or tie into that drain. Drain hose will usually attach before the p-trap.
  
• A separate drain with a free fall may also be installed.
• Always follow local building codes. Consult a plumber for the proper way to plumb the unit.
• If a fixed drain connection is not used, a heat-resistant bucket, minimum 2 gallon capacity, can be positioned under the drain outlet to catch the drain water.
