Ice Machines
The 3018CLR requires access to either a gravity or pump fed drain.
CAUTION
!
If your U-Line unit did not come with a factory installed
drain pump you must use a gravity style drain connection.
For assistance in determining if your unit has a pump please
contact U-Line. The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all attached drains. Follow
these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water
from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/or
potentially flowing onto the floor, which may result in
personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE
Drain can NOT be located directly below the unit. Unit has a
solid base that will not allow the unit to drain below itself.
NOTICE
There is a possibility that hose connections may have
loosened during shipment.
Gravity Drain
A gravity drain may be used if:
• Drain line has at least a 1" drop per 48" of run (1/4" per foot).
• Drain line does not create traps and is vented per local code.
1. Cut the pre-installed drain tube to length.
2. Connect to your local plumbing per the local code.
3. If necessary, insulate drain line to prevent condensation.
4. Test the drain system per the test procedure under Final
Installation
.
WARNING
!
Failure to connect water supply or drain line connections
properly can result in personal injury and property
damage. Gravity drain connections must be routed
downward from the rest of the unit at the rate of 1/4" per
foot.
Factory Installed Drain Pump
• If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal or spigot
assembly, or does not otherwise meet the requirements for a
gravity drain, you may have ordered the 3018CLR with a pre-
installed U-Line P60 drain pump.
• If you need to install a P60 drain pump into your unit, see Locally
Installed Drain Pump on page
14.
• See below for typical installations requiring a drain pump.
