5 INSTALLATION 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.
Drain Connection If using a Gravity Drain: 1. Slide 2 hose clamps onto the drain connection on the rear of the appliance. IMPORTANT Drain can NOT be located directly below unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow unit to drain below itself. 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.
Factory-Installed Drain Pump If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal assembly or spigot assembly or does not otherwise meet the requirements for a Gravity Drain, you may have ordered the CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with a U-Line P60 Drain Pump. See Figures 8, 9 and 10 for typical installations requiring a Drain Pump. If you need to install a P60 Drain Pump into your unit, see Locally-Installed Drain Pump on Page 6. 4.
• It must have a check valve in the discharge line to prevent waste water return to the pump. Y-Branch Tailpiece P60 Pump Required Air Gap (Optional Hook-Up) • It must have an overflow protection control which will shut off power to the ice maker in the event of a pump failure. • It must have an operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F (10°C to 40°C).
Final Water/Drain Connection 1. Connect the water supply fitting by screwing the brass garden hose fitting to the watervalve in the rear of the unit. 2. Tighten this fitting with pliers. Note: Do not use Teflon tape or joint compound on this fitting. The rubber washer provides an adequate seal. Other materials could cause blockage of the valve. 7.
