INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
STEP 3: Connect electrical power supply conduit to input junction box using suitable conduit fitting into
3/4” NPT inlet. Install optional area light and indicator light, if desired. For MODEL
8317CTFP C1 D1 (120V): connect 120 volt AC line to 16 gauge shower wires as follows:
Black = 120 VAC, Red = 2
nd
Hot, Green = Ground.
(Turn on power supply to complete installation. See Electrical Schematic Drawing, Sheet 4
of Installation Drawing). Power to be routed using rigid conduit and a seal fitting or Class 1,
Division 1 rated armored cable and an appropriate gland fitting.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Power to the 8317CTFP C1 D1 may be left on year round. The non-adjustable thermostat will shut off
heat cable when air temperature rises to 55º - 65º F (12º - 18º C). Heat cycle will repeat when air temper-
ature drops to between 45º - 55º F (7º - 13ºC). Periodic check of water temperature from shower or
eye/face wash will confirm normal operating temperatures between 45º - 95ºF (7º - 35ºC).
This unit is heated by low power heat trace cable suitable for freeze protection but not suitable for provid-
ing a warm shower from a cold water supply. Moments after activating shower, water temperature will
drop to supply temperature.
ANSI recommends a comfortable shower temperature range of 60ºF (15ºC) to 100ºF (38ºC). For the pro-
tection of the user, we strongly recommend that some system be installed to provide tempered (warm)
water to this shower and eye/face wash. Heat trace cable used on this shower heats slowly and may take
90 minutes to complete a full heat cycle.
No drain connection at bleed valve(s) is normally required. Valve(s) will remain closed unless power out-
age, high ambient temperature (with optional scald protection valve, only) or malfunction occurs (see
Troubleshooting).
NOTE: IF GROUND WATER IS BELOW 38ºF (3.3ºC) SIMPLY TESTING SHOWER MIGHT CAUSE
BLEED VALVE TO OPEN. ONCE OPENED, COLD GROUND WATER WILL KEEP BLEED VALVE
OPEN. SEE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR PROCEDURE TO CLOSE BLEED VALVE ONCE
OPENED.
Periodic tests for proper function of shower and eye/face wash should be performed and recorded on in-
spection tags attached to unit or in separate maintenance logbook (preferred).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIRE GROUND-FAULT EQUIPMENT PROTECTION ON
EACH HEATING CABLE BRANCH CIRCUIT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE CAUSED BY DAMAGE
OR IMPROPER INSTALLATION, CIRCUIT BREAKERS SUCH AS SQUARE D QO-EPD AND QOB-EPD
OR EQUIVALENT, WITH A 30mA TRIP LEVEL, SHOULD BE USED. PLEASE SUBSTITUTE THESE
BREAKERS WHEREVER REFERENCE IS MADE TO CONVENTIONAL BREAKERS IN THIS DOCU-
MENT. ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS PROVIDING COMPARABLE LEVELS OF GROUND-FAULT PRO-
TECTION MAY ALSO BE ACCEPTABLE.
