See Fig. 10
To prevent damage to the pump assembly, do not operate the icemaker when
the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG. Do not run the
icemaker until the proper water pressure is reached.
• Water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT).
Note: On water-cooled model, two water supply inlets are provided.One is for the
icemaker, and the other is for the water-cooled condenser.
• A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed. A minimum of
1/2" OD copper tubing is recommended for the water supply lines.
• 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 for icemaker dump is 3/4" FPT. The drain for condensation is a 3/8" ID
pipe. The icemaker drain and the condenser drain piping connections must be made
separately from the bin drain.
Note: On water-cooled model, a 3/8" FPT is provided for the condenser drain outlet.
• The drains must have 1/4" fall per foot on horizontal runs to get a good flow.
• The drains should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum
of 2 vertical inches should be between the end of the drain pipe from the icemaker or
the ice bin and the floor drain.
• This icemaker should be installed in accordance with applicable national, state and
local regulations.
