Water and Drain Requirements
POTABLE WATER REQUIREMENTS
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•
Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water
supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for
other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink
faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
•
If water pressure exceeds the maximum of 80 psig
(552 kPA) recommended pressure, obtain a water
pressure regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
•
Install a water shut-off valve and union for both the
ice making and condenser water lines.
•
Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
•
Plumbing must conform to local codes.
WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN LINE SIZING/
CONNECTIONS
Typical Water Supply Drain Installation
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent
drain water from flowing back into the ice machine and storage
bin:
•
Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of run (2.5
cm per meter), and must not create traps.
•
The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
•
Run separate bin and water-cooled condenser drain lines.
Insulate them to prevent condensation.
•
Vent the bin and ice machine drain to the atmosphere. The
ice machine drain requires an 18" (46 cm) vent. Do not
vent the condenser drain on water-cooled models.
•
Drains must have a union or other suitable means to allow
in place disconnection from the ice machine when
servicing is required.
