All models require an adequate potable water

supply and a gravity drain. The recommendations

for tubing are:

Water supply to be

3

8

" OD.

Drain to be

3

4

" OD.

Note: When replacing a prior ice machine, do not

take a short cut and reuse the old inlet and drain

system. INSTALL A NEW SYSTEM.

Supply:

Water cooled models have TWO water supply

connections, a

3

8

" male flare for POTABLE water

AND an additional

3

8

" FPT condenser inlet

connection, both at the back of the cabinet.

Connect both to cold water w/adequate pressure.

Note: Using water supply tubing smaller than

3

8

"

will cause severe operational issues.

Water Filters:

The water filters must flow at least 1.25 GPM to

the potable water inlet or they will cause severe

operational issues. Check with the filter

manufacturer.

When replacing a prior ice machine, do NOT

assume that the water flow capacity of the filter will

be adequate. Connect the water cooled condenser

inlet to the water supply ahead of the water filters.

All Drain Tubing Material must be RIGID.
Flexible tubing will eventually cause a
restricted drain.

Drain:

Water cooled models have TWO gravity drain

connections, a

3

4

" FPT fitting AND a ½ “ FPT

fitting. Use only RIGID TUBING. Flexible tubing

may be easily kinked or become cracked.

The reservoir drain must be vented at the back of

the cabinet. Use an 18" high vent. Do NOT vent

the condenser drain.

The ice storage bin will have a drain out the back

or base, depending upon the model.

The drain for the ice machine and the ice storage

bin must be SEPARATE or the ice machine’s drain

water may run into the bin and MELT THE ICE.

Insulation is recommended for the ice machine

reservoir and bin drains.
