FOR THE PLUMBER

Water Supply

The recommended water supply line is a 3/8-inch
O.D. tubing with a minimum operating pressure of
20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG. 

A separate water inlet is required for the
condenser water supply.

Connect to cold water supply line with standard
plumbing fittings, with shut off valve installed in an
accessible place between the water supply and
the cuber. In some cases a plumber will be
required. 

CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES

Drain Connections:

Connections: All drains are gravity type and must
have a minimum of 1/4 - inch fall per foot of
horizontal run. The drains to be installed must
conform with the local plumbing codes. Install a
vertical open vent on the ice machine reservoir
drain. The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and
vented floor drain. The storage bin drain should be
insulated.

Water Cooled Connection: A separate cold water
supply is required, connect to the 3/8-inch FPT
fitting at the back of the cabinet. An additional
drain line is required to drain the water cooled
condenser, and must not interconnect to any of the
other drains.
