P11 Prepare Plumbing

CAUTION

Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water and drain connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm.

Water Supply Connection

When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:

•Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.

•Connect to the cold water supply.

•The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.

•The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the 1/4” O.D. supply line.

•Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.

IMPORTANT

U-Line requires the use of copper tubing for installation. Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

Drain Connection (CLR2160 CLRCO2175)

IMPORTANT

•Drain can NOT be located directly below unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow the unit to drain below itself.

•We strongly recommend the use of a U-Line drain kit for both gravity & pump installations. A complete drain kit containing all the items needed to connect your unit are available from your dealer. Part No. U-

CLRDRAINKIT.

•Longer drain connections may require additional drain hose lengths. Additional drain line can be purchased from your dealer or directly from McMaster-Carr. (McMaster-Carr # 52375K35)

The CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 can be installed using a Gravity Drain, a Factory-Installed Drain Pump (U-Line P60) or a Locally- Installed (U-Line P60) Drain Pump. Drain lines must have a 5/8” inside diameter. The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached drains.

Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor, causing water damage:

Gravity Drain

A Gravity Drain may be used if:

•Drain line has at least a 1-inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch per foot).

Normal

To connect to water supply:

1.Locate the desired cold water supply location. Attach a 1/4” copper line to this location and route the tubing to the appliance. Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the line to flex when removing the unit for cleaning and servicing.

2.Locate the U-Line supplied garden hose fitting. Ensure the end of the copper tubing has been cut straight and free of burrs. Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the copper tubing as shown. Push the assembly completely into the garden hose fitting and tighten using the two wrenches.
