FOR THE PLUMBER
CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
Water Inlet
Air Cooled Models
: Connect a water supply of
cold, potable water. Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing
to connect to the 3/8" male flare at the back of the
cabinet. Install a hand valve near the machine to
control the water supply.
Water Cooled Models:
Connect a separate 3/8"
O.D. copper line with a separate hand valve to the
3/8" FPT condenser inlet at the back of the cabinet.
The water pressure to all lines must always be
above 20 psig, and below 80 psig.
Drains
Air Cooled Models:
Connect a drain tube to the
3/4" FPT drain fitting at the back of the cabinet. It
is a gravity drain, and 1/4 inch per foot fall is an
acceptable pitch for the drain tubing. There should
be a vent at the highest point of the drain line, and
the ideal drain receptacle would be a trapped and
vented floor drain.
Water Cooled Models:
In addition to the above
mentioned drain, a separate condenser drain must
be installed. Connect it to the 1/2" condenser drain
connection at the back of the cabinet.
Storage Bin:
A separate gravity type drain needs
to be run, similar to the air cooled drain.
Insulation of this drain line is recommended.
