Drain Spout & Plug Installation Instructions

Preparation:

1. No tools are required for this process if you purchased a new Ice Barrel 300 or Ice Barrel 500 and are installing the drain spout for the first time. If you purchased a Replacement Parts Kit, use the hardware and wrenches provided with the kit, as shown in the video.
2. Begin by locating the provided drain spout and plug. 

Thread Tape Application:

1. Apply 3-5 wraps of the provided thread tape to the drain spout & plug’s threads, wrapping clockwise.

Install the Drain Spout:

1. Locate the bottom bulkhead of your Ice Barrel where the drain spout will be installed.
2. Carefully start threading the drain spout into the port by hand. 
3. Tighten the spout as much as possible by hand to ensure a snug fit. Ensure the shut-off valve is oriented upwards for easy access.
4. If you choose to use a tool for additional tightening, do so with caution. Tighten no more than a ¼-½ turn more to prevent over-tightening.

Install the Plug:

1. Move to the top bulkhead of the Ice Barrel, where the plug will be installed.
2. Similar to the drain spout, start threading the plug into the bulkhead at the top by hand.
3. Ensure the plug is as tight as possible by hand, creating a secure seal.
4. If you choose to use a tool for additional tightening, do so with caution. Tighten no more than a ¼-½ turn more to prevent over-tightening.

Final Checks:

• Once both the drain spout and plug are installed, It’s time to fill it up and check to see that there are no leaks.
• If there are any leaks, you may need to tighten the fitting ¼-½ turn more.
• If there are no leaks, your Ice Barrel is now ready to enjoy.
