Drain Connection

Gravity Drain System

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all
state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided
with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines when
installing drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing back
into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the
floor, causing water damage.
Drain lines must have a minimum of 5/8" (15.88 mm) I.D.
■
(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) of
run and must not have 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 1¹⁄
■
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.
Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed
■
pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice
maker.
IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain is not
available. A Drain Pump kit, Part Number 1901A, is available for
purchase.
