Prepare Plumbing

CAUTION
Plumbing installation must observe all state and
local codes. All water and drain connections MUST
BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing
contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and
instructions may result in damage and/or harm.

Water Supply Connection

When connecting the water supply, follow these
guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the
unit.
• Connect to the cold water supply.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the 1/4"
O.D. supply line.
• Leave approximately 8' of water line to be coiled
behind the appliance (Figure 1). The water line should
be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the unit to be
removed for cleaning and servicing. However, make
certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged
during installation.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for
installation or using flexible water supply kit from
U-Line, Part No. WATERHOOKUP.
If using the flexible water supply kit, follow the
instructions included with the kit.
To connect to 1/4" copper line water supply:
1. Locate the desired cold water supply location. Attach a
1/4" copper line to this location and route the tubing
to the appliance. Leave approximately 8' of water line
to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line
should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the line to
flex when removing the unit for cleaning and servicing
(Figure 1).

2. Locate the U-Line supplied garden hose fitting. Ensure
the end of the copper tubing has been cut straight and
free of burrs. Slide the compression nut and ferrule
onto the copper tubing as shown (Figure 2). Push the
assembly completely into the the garden hose fitting
and tighten using the two wrenches. Wait to connect
this assembly to the appliance until the drain
connection is ready.
