Air Cooled Models: Connect a drain tube to the
3/4" FPT drain fitting at the back of the cabinet. It
is a gravity drain, and 1/4 inch per foot fall is an
acceptable pitch for the drain tubing. There should
be a vent at the highest point of the drain line, and
the ideal drain receptacle would be a trapped and
vented floor drain.
Water Cooled Models: In addition to the above
mentioned drain, a separate condenser drain must
be installed. Connect it to the 1/2" condenser drain
connection at the back of the cabinet.
Storage Bin: A separate gravity type drain needs
to be run, similar to the air cooled drain.
Insulation of this drain line is recommended.
