Plumbing Requirements
All models require connection to cold, potable water. A hand actuated valve within site of the
machine is required. There is a single 3/8” FPT inlet water connection, a 3/8” FPT to 3/8” male
flare adapter is supplied with the machine and can be used if desired.
Water Filters
Install a new cartridge if the filters were used with a prior machine.
All models require drain tubing to be attached to them. There is a single ¾” FPT drain fitting in
the back of the cabinet.
Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice machine, as the tubing will have been sized for
the old model and might not be correct for this one.
Connect water supply to water inlet fitting.
Note: This NSF listed model has a 1" anti-back flow air gap between the potable water inlet tube end and
the highest possible reservoir water level, no back flow device is required.
Connect drain tubing to drain fitting.
Route the drain tubing to building drain. Follow local codes for drain air gap.
Use rigid drain tubes and route them separately – do not Tee into the bin’s drain.
Vent the reservoir drain. A vertical vent at the back of the drain, extended about 8 – 10” will
allow the gravity drain to empty and also keep any surges during draining from discharging
water.
Horizontal runs of drain tubing need a ¼” per fall per foot of run for proper draining.
Follow all applicable codes.
