A longitudinal warewasher section, of a warewasher assembly having a plurality of warewasher sections mounted end-to-end, includes a frame and a control box pivotally mounted thereto, where the control box is pivotable from a compact, shipping orientation to an installation or operating orientation. The control box preferably includes electrical controls that have been pre-wired to the electrical and/or mechanical components of the warewasher section. When in the shipping position, the rear face of the control box lies substantially flush against a lateral end of the frame and the side face of the control box is substantially flush with the longitudinal front wall of the frame such that the control box faces outwardly from the lateral end of the frame. In this orientation, the control box does not add to the total lateral width of the warewasher section. After the warewasher section has been shipped and unloaded, the control box is pivoted substantially 90&deg; about hinges to an operating orientation, in which the rear face of the control box is perpendicular to the lateral end of the frame and the control box faces outwardly from the longitudinal front side of the frame. Once the control box is pivoted to this orientation, the end-to-end connection of the remaining warewasher sections to the present section may then continue.

Method for assembling a warewasher assembly

A drain valve for controlling the flow of water from a source of standing water to a drain, the drain valve comprising: a valve body, an inlet in said valve body connectable to said source, an outlet in said valve body connectable to a drain, a fluid passageway through said valve body running from said inlet to said outlet, a cavity in said valve body intersecting said passageway, a gate disposed in said cavity, said gate being movable between an open position wherein water can flow through said passageway to a closed position wherein the flow of water through said passageway is blocked, a water supply line for supplying water under pressure to said cavity on one side of said gate, and a water supply valve for controlling the flow of water from said supply line to said cavity, whereby when said water supply valve is open, water flows into said cavity and moves said gate from said open position to said closed position and when said water supply valve is closed, said gate returns to said open position.
