FOR THE PLUMBER
CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
Water Inlet
Air Cooled Models: The recommended water
supply is clean, cold water. Use 3/8" O.D.
copper tubing, 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 Treatment: In most areas, a water filter
of some type will be useful. In areas where the
water is highly concentrated with minerals the
water should be tested by a water treatment
specialist, and the recommendations of the
specialist regarding filtration and/or treatment
should be followed.
Water Cooled Models: A separate 3/8" O.D.
copper line is recommended, with a separate
hand valve to control it. It is connected to a
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 120 psig.
Drains
Air Cooled Models: There is one 3/4" FPT
drain at the back of the cabinet, the drain line
is of the gravity type, 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.
Use only 3/4" rigid tubing.
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.
