Professional
Services Needed

The commercial washer and dryer installation will require large equipment services, electrical and plumbing upgrades, concrete work, calibration services and more.  

CWR welcomes in-kind professional services whenever possible, but some work may need to be contracted. Sponsors can also help fund these installation costs. 

• Specialized Rigging and Delivery: Heavy equipment moving teams using pallet jacks or forklifts to safely transport, uncrate, and position industrial-weight machines. 

• Structural and Concrete Services: Concrete contractors or specialized installers to verify that the reinforced concrete slab (typically 6+ inches thick) meets manufacturer specifications, drill anchor holes using heavy rotary/demolition hammers, set heavy-duty expansion or epoxy/resin anchor bolts, and pour non-shrinking machinery grout. 

• Commercial Plumbing Services: Licensed plumbers to configure high-capacity hot and cold water supply lines, high-flow drain systems capable of handling rapid peak discharge rates (often 80+ gallons in under two minutes), and water hammer arresters.  

• Commercial Electrical Services: Licensed electricians to evaluate and install high-amperage dedicated circuits, often requiring three-phase power and specialized electrical isolators depending on the machine’s heavy heating and motor loads.  

• HVAC / Ventilation Services: Technicians to set up heavy-duty commercial exhaust ducting and high-capacity venting for industrial tumble dryers, ensuring proper BTU or electrical sizing. 

• Turnkey Equipment Distributors / Calibration: Certified technicians provided by commercial laundry equipment suppliers to level the machines, torque anchor bolts to precise specifications, connect utility alignments, and run complete performance and safety tests.

• Electrical Engineering & Commercial Electrician Services: The ST120 requires a dedicated, heavy-duty electrical setup to power its massive motor and reversing configurations. 

• Dedicated Circuit & Disconnect Installation: A licensed commercial electrician must install a dedicated three-phase electrical line with a local fused disconnect switch located near the dryer.

• Panel Upgrades: Depending on your current facility infrastructure, you may need an electrical service upgrade or a new subpanel to accommodate the specific voltage, amperage, and phase requirements of the machine.  

• Licensed Plumbing & Gas Fitting Services (For Gas-Heated Models) If you are installing the gas-heated version of the ST120, a certified gas fitter or commercial plumber is legally required to handle the fuel connection. 

• Gas Line Service Extension: Installing high-capacity black iron piping scaled to deliver the correct BTU/hr load at the specified water column pressure. 

• Regulators & Shut-off Valves: Fitting dedicated manual shut-off valves and gas pressure regulators to meet local safety codes. 

• Leak & Pressure Testing: Performing mandatory safety pressure tests to confirm there are no leaks before the machine is fired up 

• Commercial HVAC / Mechanical Ducting Services Proper airflow and exhaust are arguably the most critical factors for an ST120. A commercial mechanical contractor must install the ventilation infrastructure.  

• Exhaust Duct Construction: Installing heavy-gauge rigid metal ductwork (flexible plastic or light foil is strictly prohibited) sized precisely to the ST120’s output diameter. 

• Make-Up Air Ventilation: Commercial dryers move an immense volume of air. HVAC technicians must cut and install adequate make-up air louvers/vents in the room to replace the exhausted air and prevent dangerous vacuum environments. 

• Outside Hood Installation: Installing an exterior weather hood or damper that meets strict airflow clearance codes.  

• Concrete & Structural Engineering Services The ST120 is exceptionally heavy and produces significant vibration during operation.  

• Floor Verification & Cast-in-Place Concrete: A structural specialist or mason may need to verify that your floor meets the minimum thickness and structural load ratings. If the existing foundation is inadequate, they will need to pour a reinforced concrete pad.  

• Anchor Bolt Installation: The dryer must be chemically or mechanically anchored securely to the concrete floor to prevent "walking" or excessive vibration transfer.  

• Factory-Authorized Commercial Laundry Installers While tradesmen handle the rough-in utilities, a specialized commercial laundry distributor or factory-certified technician should handle the final staging and commissioning. 

• Rigging and Placement: Utilizing heavy-duty appliance dollies, cranes, or forklifts to navigate the machine into place. 

• Precision Leveling: Adjusting the heavy-duty leveling legs to ensure smooth drum rotation and avoid premature bearing wear. 

• Control Programming & Commissioning: Programming the touchscreen or microprocessors, testing the reversing cylinder function, and verifying the proper fire suppression/safety limits are operational.
