Long drain pipe

Installation locations where the building drain is remote from the ice machine position require extended drainage capability that standard drain configurations cannot provide. This 1864507400 long drain pipe extends the meltwater discharge path to reach floor drains up to several feet distant, enabling flexible equipment placement without the installation constraints of short drain lines. When the drain path is inadequate, youll encounter symptoms including water backing up into the machine, use of unsightly and unhygienic auxiliary drain buckets, and installation compromises that place the ice machine in suboptimal locations for operational efficiency. Technicians must ensure that extended drain runs maintain proper slope for gravity drainage typically 1/4 inch per foot minimum to prevent standing water that freezes and blocks the line. The smooth interior surface of this OEM pipe minimizes the friction losses that cause backup in corrugated or rough-walled alternative tubing. Support spacing is critical on long runs; unsupported sections sag and create low points where water collects and freezes, eventually blocking flow completely. The pipe diameter must match the machines discharge rate; undersized extensions overflow during the high-flow harvest period. Installing this replacement long drain pipe provides the extended reach necessary for proper drainage in challenging installation environments. The material construction resists the temperature cycling and chemical exposure inherent in ice machine drain applications. For field service professionals, this component resolves drain too short for location, water backing up, and need to relocate drain challenges that limit installation flexibility and create maintenance headaches from improvised drainage solutions.
