CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
Install a 1/4 inch outside diameter copper water line (not
supplied with unit) from the nearest COLD water pipe. When
connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.
• In most instances, the cold water supply will come from the base-
ment through a hole in the floor.
• The water pressure should be between 15 and 150 psi.
• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch outside diameter supply line
(not supplied with unit).
• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow the unit to be moved
for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that the tubing
is not pinched or damaged during installation.
• U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation.
1. Locate the compression fitting
and ferrule packed in the unit.
Slide the compression fitting
and ferrule over the 1/4 inch
outside diameter water supply
line. Do not use thread seal-
ing compound or tape. Using
two wrenches, tighten the
compression fitting on the
supply line (see Figure 7). Do
not overtighten.

2. Carefully bend the water supply
line into position and connect
the line to the solenoid valve
(see Figure 8). Avoid kinking
the water supply line.
