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 77). 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 77).
