U-Line CO1175 - Manual (Page 18)

U-Line Plumbing Specfications 16
Drain Connection:
CAUTION
If your U-Line unit did not come with a factory installed
drain pump you must use a gravity style drain connection.
For assistance in determining if your unit has a pump
please contact U-Line. The floor drain must be large
enough to accommodate drainage from all attached
drains. Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines
to prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker
storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor, which
may result in personal injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
Drain can NOT be located directly below the unit. Unit
has a solid base that will not allow the unit to drain below
itself.
Gravity Drain:
A gravity drain may be used if:
• Drain line has at least a 1” drop per 48” of run (1/4” per foot).
• Drain line does not create traps and is vented per local code.
1. Cut the pre-installed drain tube to length.
2. Connect to your local plumbing per the local code.
3. If necessary, insulate drain line to prevent condensation.
4. Test the drain system per the test procedure under “Final
Installation” on page 17.
WARNING
Failure to connect water supply or drain line
connections properly can result in personal injury and
property damage. Gravity drain connections must be
routed downward from the rest of the unit at the rate
of 1/4” per foot.
Factory Installed Drain Pump
• If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal or spigot
assembly, or does not otherwise meet the requirements for a
gravity drain, you may have ordered the CLR2160 or
CLRCO2175 with a pre-installed U-Line P60 drain pump.
• If you need to install a P60 drain pump into your unit, see
Locally Installed Drain Pump on pg 17.
• See below for typical installations requiring a drain pump.
