Plumbing Requirements
All models require connection to cold, potable
water. A hand actuated valve within site of the
machine is required. Air cooled models have a
single 3/4 gas BSPP inlet water connection.
Water cooled models have the same inlet fitting
plus an additional 3/8" FPT condenser inlet water
connection.
Drains
All models require drain tubing to be attached to
them. Air cooled models have a single ¾" FPT
drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. Water cooled
models have the same fitting plus an additional ½"
FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet.
Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice
machine, as the tubing will have been sized for the
old model and might not be correct for this one.

Use rigid drain tubes and then route them
separately – do not Tee into the bin's drain or, if
water cooled, Tee the condenser drain into the
reservoir or bin drain.
Vent the reservoir drain. A vertical vent at the back
of the drain, extended about 200 mm will allow the
gravity drain to empty and also keep any surges
during draining from discharging water.
Horizontal runs of drain tubing need a 6 mm fall per
meter of run for proper draining.
Follow all applicable codes.
