WaterSupplyRequirements
If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser faucet tube should be connected to ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) tube (not provided), which is connected to the cold water supply line using a saddle valve (not provided) or another means to connect the ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) tube to the cold water supply line. If a saddle valve is used, do not use a piercing type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
■If local codes do not permit the use of saddle valves, special feed valves can be obtained from your local plumbing supply distributor.
■Connection to the hot water line is not recommended. Energy will be wasted in heating the water twice and may produce an undesirable taste.
■A water filter is recommended if your water supply contains sand, grit or other particles, or has a known taste or odor issue. If a water filter system is used, the water pressure to the hot water dispenser system from the filter needs to be a minimum of 20 psi (138 kPa) for proper operation.
■If the water pressure to the hot water dispenser system is less than 20 psi (138 kPa), performance may be affected.
