Plumbing the Machine
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.
2. Water Supply & Tubing - Material Requirements (Conforms to NSF-51 & NSF-61):
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)
Water tubing (water supply to water filter – water filter to brewing equipment):
