CONNECTING THE DRAIN

Gravity Drain System

Connect the ice maker drain so that it is in accordance with all state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided with a gravity drain system, use the following guide- lines when installing the drain lines. This will prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and onto the floor, causing water damage.

•Drain lines must have a minimum of 5/8″ (15.88 mm) inside diameter.

•Drain lines must have a 1″ drop per 48″ (2.54 cm drop per 122 cm) of run, or 1/4″ drop per 12″ (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) and not have any low points where water can settle.

•The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all drains.

•The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1-1/2″(3.81 cm) to 2″ (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the outlet of

the drain tube, as shown. You must maintain a 1″ (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe.

•It may be desirable to insulate the drain line up to the drain inlet.
