🔧Work Performed
02/17/26
Arrived today to complete the installation.
After sourcing the needed parts for the installation in Denver I then made the return trip to the Facility.
The needed supplies were approved for purchase by Nelson Hernandez via Text Message.
Once I made it back to the facility I seen that the plumber had made his connections and that the electrician had completed his work.
The drains were plumbed and made ready for startup.
There is one item that was not able to be sourced due to time was the 1 1/2" copper drainpipe needs a "Circle Hanger" to be properly installed.
Nelson was made aware of this.
There also was no hardware for the cage for the shelves.
Nelson was made aware as well.
All connections were made using propress and are ready.
02/16/26
The unit arrived at 0900 and was unloaded and unboxed.
The unit was made ready for the move to the room.
We awaited the Steris Rep to bring the "movers".
There was discussion on the plumbing and who was responsible for the install.
I advised them that since they had a licensed plumber that they should use them.
The facility was under the impression that they have to make the connections and had the supplies purchased already.
I advised them that I can do the plumbing in any other state at this time except Nebraska as I am not permitted to do so due to their state codes. I can perform the Drain supply but not the Fresh water supply.
They were ok with that problem being solved.
Once the tech arrived the unit was fitted with the mover dolly and was then moved to the opening.
The Steris tech departed the location.
The hole of the opening is wider than the unit.
I spoke with the head of facilities (Vince) and he advised that they would have the trim specially made for this unit.
The unit was having issues getting centered in the opening due to an electrical "J Box" that was left from the previous unit.
I advised Vince and he stated it was fine to move it over to clear that issue.
Once the unit was placed in its spot there was another issue with the unit "Leaning Forward"
The unit is level and plumb with the use of a bubble level.
When checking the wall, the was indeed not plumb.
I advised Vince of this and he understood. He stated, " I will hide most of that with the trim and I am not worried about it". I again asked him " Are you sure you are ok with the reveal of the unit the way it sits?
His response was " I am fine with it. I just want it running and I want to make the girls happy with a new machine".
So, the unit was left as it was.
Electricians showed up and they must install a secondary "E-Stop" on the circuit of this unit, and they had questions I could not answer so I referred them to Nelson for clarification. I have not had the pleasure of being involved with a secondary "E-Stop" need.
The rack was damaged in shipping and has the front section BENT significantly.
I was able to bend it back and it looks great not and the sliders work as intended.
End of day due to not enough room with the electricians in the small space.
