PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve in this unit uses a standard 1/4"
(6.35 mm) compression fitting. U-Line recommends a
braided stainless steel water supply line.
P/N (WATERHOOKUP).
CAUTION
!
Plumbing installation must observe all state and
local codes. All water and drain connections
MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing
contractor. Failure to follow recommendations
and instructions may result in damage and/or
harm.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, please note the
following:
• Before installing the unit and connecting to the cold
water supply, review the local plumbing codes.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the
supply line.
• The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will
allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing.
Make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged
during installation.
CAUTION
!
Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line
is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack
or rupture with age and cause damage to your
home.
Do not use Teflon tape or joint compound on the
water fitting. The rubber washer provides an
adequate seal. Other materials could cause
blockage of the valve.
Failure to follow recommendations and
instructions may result in damage and/or harm,
flooding or void the product warranty.
CAUTION
!
Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical
supply to unit prior to installation.
Use caution when handling back panel. The
edges could be sharp.
1. Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply
to product prior to attempting installation.
2. Remove the back panel.
