K-4500™ COFFEE MAKER WATER HOOKUP

Plumbing Instructions

CAUTION: This coffee maker is designed to handle local water pressures from
40 psig up to 125 psig. Consult a licensed plumber for water pressures in your
area. Use plumbing fittings and tubing specified to withstand 125 psig.
WARNING: Keurig® requires the use of an external water filter such as the
Omnipure KQ8A Water Filter, available from Keurig®. Failure to use a filter
invalidates the coffee maker warranty.
NOTE: The equipment shall be installed with adequate backflow protection
to comply with applicable federal, state, and local codes.
1. Remove all pieces of packing tape from the coffee maker and drip tray.
Remove the clear plastic film from the touch screen.
NOTE: An external filter (KQ8A, #5572) can be mounted on the rear surface
of the coffee maker using the mounting screws provided.
2. Attach a threaded straight adapter to both the IN and OUT ports on
the Omnipure KQ8A Water Filter and tighten using an 11/16" (18 mm)
wrench. Make sure the connections are secure, but do not overtighten.
3. Attach the filter mounting bracket to the Omnipure KQ8A Water Filter
using the four screws provided.
NOTE: The top of the Omnipure KQ8A Water Filter has two ports labeled
IN port and OUT port. Make sure these ports are aligned with the filter
mounting bracket.
4. Loosen the two mounting screws located on the upper rear of the
coffee maker and hang the filter kit assembly. Tighten the screws but
be careful not to overtighten.
NOTE: The filter kit assembly comes with ¼" FPT ports for both inlet and
outlet, and the plumbed water inlet to the coffee maker is ¾" female garden
hose thread (Invensys solenoid valve). ¼" OD LLDPE (Linear Low Density
Polyethylene) tubing is recommended (NSF® compliant) between the filter kit
assembly and the coffee maker. NSF® compliant fittings such as High Density
Polypropylene type are recommended.
