DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to
prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice
machine and storage bin:
• Drain lines must have a 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) drop per 5
ft. of run (2.5 cm per meter), and must not create
traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
• Run separate bin and water-cooled condenser
drain lines. Insulate them to prevent condensation.
• Vent the bin drain to the atmosphere. Do not vent
the condenser drain on water-cooled models.
• Drains must have a union or other suitable means
to allow a place of disconnection from the ice
machine when servicing is required.
