Installation
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent
drain water from flowing back into the ice machine and
storage bin:
• Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of run
(2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
• Drain pump discharge line must terminate at an open site
drain.
• Maximum rise - 12 feet (3.7 m)
• Maximum run - 100 feet (30.5 m)
