Drain Connection
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
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. The floor drain must be
large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached
drains.
NOTE: We strongly recommend the use of the U-Line
CLRDRAINKIT for both gravity & pump installations. A
complete drain kit containing all the items needed to
connect your unit are available from your dealer. Order
Part No. U-CLRDRAINKIT.
NOTE: 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)
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).
• Drain line does not create traps or created traps are
vented (see Figure 32).
Figure 32
See Figure 33 for a typical Gravity Drain installation.
