U Line icemaker fitting

[seaottor1]

I have a 3200SCR with a fitting that attaches to the water line from the boat to the icemaker. It is cracked and leaking. Cannot locate anywhere. Apparently it is not part of the icemaker according to ULine but was installed by Maxum. Anyone know where I can find one? I can send a pic if someone could tell me how. Thanks

I suspect any waterline to supply a water dispenser or an ice maker in a fridge will work. Check home stores in your area. If the boat ever spent a winter in a area that freezes, the ice maker would have needed to be winterized to prevent that from occurring.

At the end of the day, how comfortable are you drinking off of your water tanks??

The ice maker is winterized. It has a separate water line. The ice maker is stand alone. We have an outside water hook up that feeds the rest of the boat. It is a ULine ice maker.

How many water lines does the ice maker have? I would only expect it to have a single line to feed it water. Based on the reply from Uline, I assumed that was the line we were discussing.

Just the one, the fitting I am needing goes from the water line to the ice maker. I would love to send you a pic, not sure I know how.

Looking for attached fitting for Uline ice maker. Not available through Uline. Cannot locate anywhere. Anyone know where I can get this fitting?

Agreed, those are generic water fittings. Not part of the ice maker. They should be all over your boat.

This one is a quick connect. Your's is a compression fitting on the pipe end. I haven't seen compression fittings in a long time. The compression fitting will likely have mushroomed the pipe a little. You will probably need to cut back the mushroomed portion of the pipe in order to get a good fit on the push connect fitting.

They are not all over the boat. The back end fits in to the water line that taps off the outside faucet water line. It is a downsized water line, about a 1/4". That is the problem. I will send you a pic of the end that goes in to the downsized water line.

Pic of fitting that I cannot find. As you can see, the small end fits in to the water line that feeds the ice maker. That end is also threaded to tighten at the water line.

I think that water line is 3/8".

Ugh!!! Good luck. My boat has 3/8" compression fittings throughout my entire boat. I am having a very, very difficult time finding them.

[seaottor1]

Let me know if you do. Heading to Home Depot today.

Thanks
