Water Hookup
PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve uses a standard 1/4" (6.35 mm)
compression fitting.
!
CAUTION
Plumbing installation must observe all state and local
codes. All water and drain connections MUST BE made
by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to
follow recommendations and instructions may result in
damage and/or harm.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, please note the following:
•
Before installing the unit and connecting to the cold water
supply, review the local plumbing codes.
•
The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi
(138 and 827 kPa).
•
The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the supply
line.
•
The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow
the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing. Make
certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during
installation.
!
CAUTION
Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line is under
pressure at all times. Plastic may crack or rupture with
age and cause damage to your home.
Do not use tape or joint compound when attaching a
braided flexible water supply line that includes a rubber
gasket. The gasket provides an adequate seal – other
materials could cause blockage of the valve.
Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may
result in damage and/or harm, flooding or void the
product warranty.
!
CAUTION
Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply
to unit prior to installation.
Use caution when handling back panel. The edges
could be sharp.
1. Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply to
product prior to attempting installation.
2. Remove the back panel.
