F. Water Supply and Drain Connections
• Water supply and drain connections must be installed in accordance with applicable
national, state, and local regulations.
• A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.
• Water supply inlet is 1/" female pipe thread (FPT).
• A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed. A minimum of
3/8" OD copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line.
• Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG.
If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required.
• Drain outlet is 1/" FPT.
• Drain line should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of
vertical inches (5 cm) should be between the end of the drain pipe from the icemaker
and the oor drain. For gravity drain installation, drain must have 1/4" fall per foot ( cm
per 1 m) on horizontal runs to get good ow. A vented tee connection is also required
for proper ow.
• For optional drain pump installation, refer to the instruction manual included with the
pump.
