Product Details
Expand placement options when gravity drainage isn’t practical.
The Hoshizaki HS-5061 drain pump gives a compatible undercounter ice maker a pumped-drain option when the site can’t support the required continuously descending gravity line. It collects drain water inside the cabinet and moves it to an approved drain within Hoshizaki’s published limits, giving you more flexibility when planning the machine’s location.
This accessory isn’t a universal upgrade. It doesn’t increase ice production, and it doesn’t replace an approved drain, required air gap, or code-compliant plumbing. Confirm the complete ice-machine model and proposed drain route before purchasing.
Is this drain pump right for the installation?
| Check | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Fit | Use only with an ice-machine model specifically approved for the HS-5061. |
| Hose | The kit includes a 10-foot discharge hose. |
| Run | Maximum discharge-hose length is 20 feet. |
| Lift | Maximum vertical lift is 8 feet. |
| Drain | Maintain a minimum 2-inch air gap at a floor drain. Other connections must meet applicable plumbing code. |
| Vent | Secure the vent hose, and keep it open and free of kinks. |
| Safety | A high reservoir level stops the ice maker while allowing the pump to continue operating. |
| Warranty | Hoshizaki lists one year of parts-and-labor coverage, subject to its warranty requirements. |
Confirm the exact ice-machine fit
The Hoshizaki HS-5061 is approved only for specific models. Brand, cabinet width, or undercounter construction alone doesn’t establish compatibility. Installation requirements also vary among machine families, and some applications need additional inlet-hose or connection components.
Enter the complete model number, including every suffix and dash, in the official Hoshizaki manuals and guides lookup before ordering. If the current machine documentation doesn’t list the HS-5061, don’t assume that the pump will fit or connect correctly.
Hoshizaki’s kit documentation identifies the pump, vent hose, 10-foot discharge hose, drain-hose sections, clamps, hose clips, and mounting screws. The exact components used depend on the ice-machine model.
Plan the complete drain route
Build the discharge route around the published run and lift limits. Keep the hose free of traps, kinks, sharp bends, and debris, and leave enough tubing for the ice maker to be pulled forward for service without stretching or pinching any connections.
If the proposed route exceeds the supplied 10-foot hose, have the installer confirm the approved tubing and connection method before ordering additional material. Don’t assume that a generic extension hose or fitting is suitable.
A pumped-drain installation still needs an approved drainage point. Floor-drain installations require the air gap listed in the table. Connections near a sink or existing drainpipe must follow national, state, and local plumbing requirements. An additional air-gap device may be required and isn’t included.
Keep the vent hose secured, open, and unobstructed. A restricted vent can prevent the pump from working correctly even when the discharge route is otherwise acceptable.
Understand the protective shutoff
The internal safety switch helps limit water backup if the reservoir reaches capacity. When the switch activates, it stops the ice maker while the drain pump continues operating. Power to the ice maker returns after the reservoir drops to its normal level.
A recurring shutdown shouldn’t be treated as a routine reset condition. It may indicate a blocked inlet, disconnected pump connector, restricted vent, obstructed discharge hose, excessive discharge route, or pump problem.
Use qualified installation and service
Hoshizaki directs qualified service technicians to install and service the drain pump assembly. Local requirements may also call for a plumbing permit or licensed plumber. The installer should level the pump, secure the hoses, test normal discharge, verify safety-switch operation, inspect for leaks, and leave the machine accessible for future service.
Disconnect the ice maker from its electrical outlet before service because the pump may remain energized while the machine’s control switch is off. Follow the exact ice-machine manual for maintenance and testing intervals, and never pour unapproved drain chemicals into the pump.
If the pump runs without discharging water, use Hoshizaki’s HS-5061 troubleshooting guidance to check the inlet, vent, discharge hose, connector, and installation limits before replacing components.
