Proper Tubing Routing
When installing the discharge and liquid lines from the remote condenser to the icemaker, please use the
following guidelines:
1. The remote condenser (#2) should always be installed above the icemaker (#4) as shown with a
vertical air flow on page 8.
2. All excess tubing (#1) should be routed inside the building and coiled in a vertical spiral as shown
(3#) on page 8, to prevent oil trapping in the lines. Any tubing run outside should be insulated to
protect it from surrounding ambient conditions. Tubing should follow straight line routing whenever
possible. The lowest spot in the tubing run should be the connection at the rear of the icemaker.
Both the discharge line and liquid line quick connect couplers are supplied with a Schrader Valve on one
end of the line set. The Schrader Valve end should be connected to the remote condenser on both the
discharge and liquid line for access to pressure readings at the condenser as shown (#5) above.
When attaching the quick connect couplers (#6), always lubricate the couplers with refrigerant oil. The
couplers should be tightened until snug, then tightened another quarter (1/4) of a turn.
Always leak check the quick connect couplers after installation has been made.
