Water Hookup
PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve uses a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) 
compression tting. U-Line recommends using accessory 
water hook up kit – part # 80-54674-00. The kit includes 
a 10’ (3 m) braided exible water supply line and a brass 
hose tting.
Plumbing installation must observe all state 
and local codes. All water and drain connections 
MUST BE made by a licensed/qualied plumbing 
contractor. Failure to follow recommendations 
and instructions may result in damage and/or 
harm.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, please note the 
following:
•  Before installing the unit and connecting to the cold 
water supply, review the local plumbing codes.
•  The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi 
(138 and 827 kPa).
•  TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) between 5 ppm (mg/L) 
and 400 ppm (mg/L) and water hardness less than 200 
mg/L (ppm), 12 gpg (grains per gallon).
•  TDS and/or water hardness above these limits should 
be treated with a reverse osmosis system or other 
ltration system.
•  Softened water is not recommended as it may result in 
softer ice than desired.
•  The water line MUST have a shut-o valve in the 
supply line.
•  The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This 
will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and 
servicing. Make certain that the tubing is not pinched 
or damaged during installation.
Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line 
is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack 
or rupture with age and cause damage to your 
home.
Do not use tape or joint compound when 
attaching a braided exible water supply line 
that includes a rubber gasket. The gasket 
provides an adequate seal – other materials 
could cause blockage of the valve.
Failure to follow recommendations and 
instructions may result in damage and/or harm, 
ooding or void the product warranty.
Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.
Turn o water supply and disconnect electrical 
supply to unit prior to installation.
Use caution when handling back panel. The edges 
could be sharp.
