PLUMBING
There is 20 ft. (6.1 m) of 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) O.D. polyethylene tubing supplied with the FLOJET Bottled Water Dispensing
System. Carefully measure the distance between the pump module outlet and the appliance water inlet or optional
faucet, and cut the tubing clean and square to prevent fitting leaks. If the refrigerator and faucet are being connected,
use 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) tube “T” fitting and place it in an accessible location. Push the cleanly cut tubing end into the pump
module outlet port, past the o-ring to tube stop. Route tubing to the refrigerator water valve and connect it to the water
inlet valve in the back of the refrigerator by using the tube connector fitting. First slip nut over the tube, then place the
ferrule over the tube, then install onto the refrigerator water valve fitting and tighten.
For installation and use with commercial coffee and tea brewing equipment:
Many commercial coffee and tea brewing machines can be connected to a water supply line. Ensure that you have a 1/4
in. (6.35 mm) I.D. connection fitting at the water inlet that can accept the supplied 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) O.D. tubing. These
brewing machines have a factory installed device that restricts incoming water to a safe pressure that won’t damage the
brewing machine. This device is usually referred to as an inlet pressure regulator or flow restrictor. If you intend to use the
Flojet BW system with one of these brewing machines, you should remove the brewing machine’s inlet restrictor device.
Consult the brewing machine manufacturer for details. Failure to remove the brewing machine’s restrictor may cause
the Flojet BW series pump to cycle itself off and on repeatedly, leading to premature motor failure of the Flojet BW unit.
This type of failure is not covered under warranty. Use of filter devices with your commercial brewer is unnecessary; see
below
For installation on refrigerators with ice making and/or water dispensing functions:
Do not use any external filtration devices. These will cause the pump to over-cycle, possibly causing premature pump
failure, not covered under warranty. If your refrigerator has factory installed internal filtration that must remain in place
as part of the water line, this too may cause over-cycling resulting in pump failure. Contact the refrigerator maker
and inquire about obtaining an empty or dummy filter housing for use instead of the standard filter model. If none is
available, the use of a small accumulator tank will be necessary. You may order Flojet P/N 30573002B, tank, and P/N
20381-064, fitting kit. Please contact Flojet for more information.
