Potable Water Requirements; Drain Connections - Manitowoc RNS0244 Technician's Handbook

Potable Water Requirements

• Plumbing must conform to local codes.
• Water temperature: Minimum 40°F (4°C), Maximum
90°F (32°C).
• Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water
supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for
other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink
faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
• If water pressure exceeds maximum pressure (70
psig [483 kPa] RN1000; 80 psig [552 kPa] for all other
models) obtain a water pressure regulator from your
Manitowoc distributor.
• A water shut-off valve is required to clean the ice
machine.
• A union for both the ice making and condenser water
lines is required.
• Water inlet lines require insulation to prevent
condensation.
• RF/RFS/RFN Models: A back flow preventer is required
on water inlet lines.

Drain Connections

• Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of run
(2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
• Bin drain termination must have an air gap.
• Separate insulated bin and water-cooled condenser
drain lines are required.
• The bin and ice machine drains require a vent.
