Disconnect power and turn off water to the unit before
attempting to alter these connections. Please consult

Water Connections:
CAUTION
!
Review, obey, and understand the local plumbing codes
before you install your unit. Connect to the cold water
supply. The water pressure should be between 20 and
120 psi. The water line MUST have a shut-off valve on the
1/4" supply line.
CAUTION

• U-Line requires the use of copper tubing for installation or
the U-Line water hookup kit available at www.u-line.com.
This kit includes a flexible water supply connecting hose
