Any of you with a Scotsman ice maker, can you help me out? If you would be so kind to take a picture of the underneath back area where your drain assembly is I would greatly appreciate it. I have copper fittings which I believe are part of the drain system and need to know how they go together. There are different Scotmans out there so its possible they will look different. Thanks for any assistance here.

Can you post a pic of the back of the machine?

Best I can do for now. The machine is on a 6 inch ledge and it's too heavy for me to drop down. If you need a better shot, let me know I can get help later moving it.

It's part of the drain/vent assembly, it forms a sort of sideways "T" shaped pipe that drains away the flush water after an Ice making cycle, but the top of the "T" should be higher than the top of the water reservoir to prevent siphoning of drain water back into the machine & it should have an air-gap ot the exit over the drain itself.

My next question would be which piece goes where then? How do they assemble? I know which one goes out of the machine, but not sure about the other two. |

I also found this on Alan Huffman's site. Looks like they didn't even use copper piping for the drain.

Here is a pic of mine for you.
The nipple up top is the water inlet. The two lines coming out below come from the overflow in the water reservoir and the the ice bin.

Thanks for posting Tom.
Here's what I rigged up, I need to get a longer piece of vinyl hose for the top overflow and 3 more fasteners, but so far so good.

I would think a few shark bite fittings at a local home improvement store with standard copper tubing might be a more solid fix. the vinyl tubing seem like it could slip off real easy or get kinked. The shark bite fittings allow you to connect the tubing without having to solder the copper tubing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RiqhtvgrH8&feature=youtube_gdata_player |
