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” FPT
inlet water connection, a 3/8” FPT to 3/8” male flare
adapter 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.
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 fitting.
Note: This NSF listed model has a 1" anti-back flow
air gap between the potable water inlet tube end
and the highest possible reservoir water level, no
back flow device is required.
2. Connect drain tubing to drain fitting.
3. Route the drain tubing to building drain. Follow
local codes for drain air gap.
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.
