WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION:
IMPORTANT: NUVU strongly recommends that SOFT WATER only be used in any unit requiring a water
supply. Also, a good quality water filter MUST be installed in-line between the unit connection and the water
supply to guard against clogging and mineral build-up in the components. This is extremely important in
areas having hard water. This filter may be installed at the water source or adjacent to the Water Inlet Fitting
on the Smoker, whichever is more convenient for you.
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the federal, state and local plumbing codes having
jurisdiction.
To correctly install a water supply to your NUVU unit:
A. Run the correct size tubing from the water supply to the unit's location; this tubing should be at least
as big as the Water Inlet Fitting (¼") on the back of the unit. Allow some slack for final unit
positioning and service. Avoid any kinks or strains on the tubing and place the tubing where it will
not be damaged in any way.
B. The tubing end that attaches to the back of the unit must not be damaged or deformed in any way.
The cut end should be cut straight and clean with no deforming of the tubing. All burrs and sharp
edges should be removed to ensure a proper and leak-free connection.
C. Position the tubing so that the tubing runs straight into the Water Inlet Fitting. Be careful not to kink
the tubing if you bend it, and do not bend the tubing within two (2) inches of the end.
D. The two-part compression fitting (tapered collar and nut) is placed approximately 1" onto the tubing
so that the collar is inside of the nut and the threaded opening of the nut is toward the Water Inlet
Fitting.
E. Push the tubing all the way into the Water Inlet Fitting (approximately ¼") and hold it there while you
thread the compression nut onto the Water Inlet Fitting. Use an open-end wrench to slowly tighten
the compression nut until it is just snug, but do not over-tighten the fitting! If the joint leaks when
tested and further gentle tightening does not stop the leak the two-part compression fitting must be
replaced.
Careful attention to these simple procedures will help to ensure an installation without leaks. If you have any
questions or problems please call the NUVU Service Department at (800) 338-9886.
IMPORTANT: Please install any required drainage plumbing at this time. Any required drain line must be
properly installed before attempting an INITIAL START–UP and Operational Check.
IMPORTANT: THIS UNIT NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED WITH ADEQUATE BACKFLOW
PROTECTION TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
CODES.
IMPORTANT: THIS UNIT REQUIRES A SCREEN OF AT LEAST 100 MESH TO BE
INSTALLED IMMEDIATELY UPSTREAM OF ALL CHECK VALVE TYPE BACKFLOW
PREVENTERS USED FOR WATER SUPPLY PROTECTION. THE SCREEN SHALL
BE ACCESSIBLE AND REMOVABLE FOR CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT.
