(For operating weight, see Specifi cation Table.)
CAUTION:
Never plug in cooler until installation is complete
and unit has been tested for rigidity.
• Install Duct Adapters. If desired, a 4 piece duct
adapter is available as an optional accessory.
Call 1-800-643-8341 to obtain these from the
factory. Align the holes in the duct adapter to the
holes in the blower opening and attach using the
provided screws (see Fig. 1). Repeat for all four
sides. Note: All 4 pieces are identical except for
models 5000SD & N55/65S which have an offset
piece which attaches to the bottom of the outlet.
To install this offset piece, remove the screws
holding the cut-off plate and slide the offset duct
adapter between the blower opening and the cut-
off plate. You may need to loosen other screws
to do this. Line up the holes and secure with the
screws previously removed.

• Connect water supply line. Find the
closest supply of water. Use a saddle
valve (Fig. 7) to connect 1/4” tubing to
the cold water supply or use a Sillcock
and water valve connected to an out-
side faucet (Fig. 8). Place the nut and
ferrule on the tubing and tighten the
nut until water tight. IMPORTANT:
Do not connect the water supply to any
soft water applications. Soft water
will cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the cooler.
