1. Specifications and Limitations:
The total overall length of installed section of water tubing should never exceed 25 feet
(7.6 meters) per unit. In the event more than 25 feet (7.6 meters) of conduit tubing is
required, as measured from the water supply connection (building plumbing) to the
brewing equipment or cooler unit, the customer should be required to sign a waiver
document thus releasing your company from any and all responsibility in the event
damage is incurred as a result of a water leak from installed water tubing and/or fittings
and/or equipment.

NOTE: The main water supply pressure must be between a minimum of 20 psi and a
maximum of 100 psi.
Water supply connection (building plumbing to water tubing conduit):
► PREFERENCE: 2” copper shunt & compression tee fitting (multi unit location)
► ALTERNATE: Self-piercing valve (single unit locations only)
