FOR THE INSTALLER: Remote Condenser
Locate the condenser as near as possible to the
interior location of the ice maker.
Location of the condenser is limited by the
specific length of pre-charged refrigerant tubing
supplied for the application. The pre-charged
tubing connects the ice maker to the remote
condenser. The condenser must be above the ice
maker.
Select the best available location, protecting the
condenser from extremes of dirt, dust, and sun.
Meet all applicable building codes.
Roof Attachment:
Install and attach the remote condenser unit to
the roof of the building, using the methods and
practices of construction that conform to the local
building codes, including having a roofing
contractor secure the condenser to the roof.
Pre-charged Line Routing
CAUTION
Do not connect pre-charged tubing until all
routing and forming of the tubing is complete.
See the coupling instructions for connecting
instructions.
1. Each set of precharged refrigerant lines
consists of a 3/8 inch diameter liquid line, and a
1/2 inch diameter discharge line. Both ends of
each line have quick connect couplings, one end
has access valves: that end goes to the ice maker.
Note: The openings in the building ceiling or wall,
listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes
recommended for passing the refrigerant lines
through.
2. Have the roofing contractor cut a minimum hole
for the refrigerant lines of 1.75". Check local
codes, a separate hole may be required for the
electrical power to the condenser.
CAUTION
DO NOT KINK OR CRIMP REFRIGERANT
TUBING WHEN INSTALLING IT.
3. Route the refrigerant lines through the roof
opening.
Follow straight line routing whenever possible.
Any excess tubing MUST be retained within the
building.
4. Spiral any excess length of pre charged tubing
inside the building. Use a horizontal spiral (as
illustrated) to avoid any traps in the lines.
Note: Actual spiral need not be as tight as shown.
5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the
roof per local codes.
Note: Only a holding charge is in the precharged
line set.
