VGM, VGD-0505

Plumbing

It is the contractor's responsibility to install case(s) according to local construction and health codes.

WASTE OUTLET AND P - TRAP

The waste outlet is located off the center of the case on one side allowing drip piping to be run lengthwise under the fixture.

A 1-1/2" P-trap and threaded adapter are supplied with each fixture. The P-trap must be installed to prevent air leakage and insect entrance into the fixture.

NOTE: PVC-DWV solvent cement is recommended.

Follow the Hussmann’s instructions.

INSTALLING CONDENSATE DRAIN

Poorly or improperly installed condensate drains can seriously interfere with the operation of this refrigerator, and result in costly maintenance and product losses. Please follow the recommendations listed below when installing condensate drains to insure a proper installa- tion:

CASE FRONT

1.Never use pipe for condensate drains smaller than the nominal diameter of the pipe or P-trap supplied with the case.

2.When connecting condensate drains, the P-trap must be used as part of the condensate drain to prevent air leakage or insect entrance. Store plumbing system floor drains should be at least 14" off the center of the case to allow use of the P-trap pipe section. Never use two water seals in series in any one line. Double P-traps in series will cause a lock and prevent draining.

3.Always provide as much down hill slope (ÒfallÓ) as possible; 1/8" per foot is the preferred minimum. PVC pipe, when used, must be supported to maintain the 1/8" pitch and to prevent warping.

4.Avoid long runs of condensate drains. Long runs make it impossible to provide the ÒfallÓ necessary for good drainage.

5.Provide a suitable air break between the flood rim of the floor drain and outlet of condensate drain. 1" is ideal.

6.Prevent condensate drains from freezing:

a.Do not install condensate drains in contact with non-insulated suction lines. Suction lines should be insulated with a nonabsorbent insulation ma- terial such as ArmstrongÕs Armaflex.

b.Where condensate drains are located in dead air spaces (between refrigerators or between a re- frigerator and a wall), provide means to prevent freezing. The water seal should be insulated to prevent condensation.
