PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
This dispenser
must be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138
and 620 kPa) from a 1/2˝ or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the brewer.
Install a regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi (620 kPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The
water inlet fitting is .75-11.5 NH (HOSE THREAD). For convenience an elbow adaptor is provided to convert to
a 1/4˝ flare fitting. Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend the use of a reverse-osmosis or deionized water supply
to this equipment. REQUIRED: 1.0 gpm (3.78 lpm) flow rate from water supply line.
NOTE - At least 18 inches of an FDA approved flexible beverage tubing, such as reinforced braided polyethylene
or silicone, before the dispenser will facilitate movement to clean the countertop. Bunn-O-Matic does not recom-
mend the use of a saddle valve to install the dispenser. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line
by this type of device may restrict water flow.
