CAUTION
!
Prior to attempting installation, determine if this product
contains a gravity style drain or factory installed drain
pump. Products without a drain pump may only use a
gravity style drain. Failure to connect water supply or
drain line connections properly may result in water
leakage, personal injury, and/or property damage.
Disconnect power and turn off water to the unit before
attempting to alter these connections. Please consult
U-Line or your installation instructions for further details.
These connections are the responsibility of the owner and
must be connected per local plumbing code. If you are
uncertain of how to safely and properly install this
product, contact a licensed plumber.
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.
NOTICE
• 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 and brass fitting.
• 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.
Copper Water Supply Connection:
CAUTION
!
Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply to unit prior to attempting installation.
1. Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply to product prior to attempting installation.
2. Locate the desired cold water supply location.
3. Attach a 1/4" copper line to this location and route the tubing to the appliance. Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled behind
the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the line to flex when removing the unit for cleaning and service.
Do not kink or pinch the coiled line.
4. Locate the U-Line supplied hose fitting. Ensure the end on the copper tubing has been cut straight and is free of burrs. Slide the
compression nut and ferrule onto the copper tubing as shown below.
5. Push the assembly completely into the garden hose fitting and
tighten.
6. Attach the copper water line to the back of the unit using the
supplied clamp and the back panel screw. This will prevent rotation
of the line when moving the unit.
7. Turn on water and check for leaks.
