Plumbing Requirements

All built-in models with an automatic ice maker feature a
water filtration system that supplies filtered water to the
ice maker and water dispenser (dispenser models). The
water supply line should be located within the shaded area
shown in the illustrations.
The water supply line should be connected to the house
supply with an easily accessible shut-off valve between
the supply and the unit. Do not use self-piercing valves.
A saddle valve kit is available through your authorized
Sub-Zero dealer. The water line must not interfere with
installation of the anti-tip brackets.
A reverse osmosis system can be used provided there
is constant water pressure of 35 psi
supplied to the unit at all times. In this application,
(8.3 bar)
the water filtration system must be bypassed. Refer to
water filter bypass mode on page 21. A copper line is not
recommended for this application.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All installations must meet local
plumbing code requirements.
