Plumbing Requirements
All models require connection to cold, potable
water. A hand actuated valve within site of the
machine is required. There is a single 3/8” flare nut
inlet water connection, and a 3/8” to 3/8” flare union
is supplied with the machine and can be used if
desired.
Water Filters
Install a new cartridge if the filters were used with a
prior machine.
Drains
All models require drain tubing to be attached to
them. There is a single ¾” FPT drain fitting in the
back of the cabinet.
Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice
machine, as the tubing will have been sized for the
old model and might not be correct for this one.
1.
Connect water supply to water inlet fittings.
2.
Connect drain tubing to drain fitting.
3.
Route the drain tubing to building drain. Follow
local codes for air gap.
4.
Use rigid drain tubes and route them
separately – do not Tee into the bin’s drain.
Vent the reservoir drain. A vertical vent at the back
of the drain, extended about 8 – 10” will allow the
gravity drain to empty and also keep any surges
during draining from discharging water.
Horizontal runs of drain tubing need a ¼” per fall
per foot of run for proper draining.
Follow all applicable codes.
