Contact your local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations. • 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. • The icemaker drain line, dispenser unit/storage bin drain line, and water-cooled condenser drain line (if applicable) must be run separately.
1. Icemaker • Icemaker water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT). A minimum of 3/8" OD copper tubing is recommended for the icemaker water supply line. • An icemaker water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed. • Icemaker drain outlet is 3/4" FPT.
