2. Water-Cooled Condenser
a) Connection to an Open Drain System
• Connecting potable water to the condenser will not affect
performance but may result in high use/waste.
• Condenser water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread
(FPT). A minimum of 3/8" (10 mm) nominal copper water
tubing is recommended for the condenser water supply
line.
• A condenser water supply line shut-off valve and drain
valve should be installed.
• Condenser drain outlet is 3/8" FPT. A minimum of 3/8"
(10 mm) nominal hard pipe is recommended for the
condenser drain line.
• In some areas, a back flow preventer may be required in
the cooling water circuit.

Connection to an Open Drain System
• In order to maintain the proper high side pressure, the
condenser water supply inlet temperature should not
drop below 45°F (7°C) and the condenser drain outlet
temperature must be in the 104°F to 115°F (40°C to
46°C) range. Once the icemaker installation is complete,
confirm the condenser drain outlet temperature 5 minutes
after a freeze cycle starts. If the condenser drain outlet
temperature is not in the proper range, use a flat blade
screwdriver to rotate the adjustment screw on the
water-regulating valve until the temperature is in the
proper range (rotate counterclockwise to raise temperature
or clockwise to lower temperature).
