Water Requirements
The automatic water system has a 1/4 inch compression fitting for CONNECTION copper tubing. Hot water would be preferred. We recommend using the automatic water system as this will allow the unit to maintain a more even water temperature and help ensure that the unit never runs dry of water. A straight-through bulkhead fitting is furnished with the unit for 1/4 inch copper tubing to protect the water line where it passes through the sheet metal. Reinstall the end panel.
