Plumbing Requirements
All models require connection to cold, potable water. A hand actuated valve within site of the
machine is required. Air cooled models have 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 cooled models have the same inlet fitting plus an additional 3/8” FPT condenser inlet
water connection.
Water Filters
If connecting to water filtration, filter only the water to the reservoir, not to the condenser.
Install a new cartridge if the filters were used with a prior machine.
All models require drain tubing to be attached to them. Air cooled models have a single ¾”
FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. Water cooled models have the same fitting plus an
additional ½” 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.
Note: This NSF listed model has a 1" anti-back flow air gap between the water inlet tube end and the
highest possible reservoir water level, no back flow device is required for the potable water inlet.
Drain Tubing:
Use rigid drain tubes and route them separately – do not Tee into the bin’s drain and, if water
cooled, do not Tee the condenser drain into the reservoir or bin 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 out the vent..
Horizontal runs of drain tubing need a ¼” fall per foot of run for proper draining.
Follow all applicable codes.
