Manitowoc Maker Ice Machine Water Inlet Valve LNS RIV1852 Black

Description

Product Overview

The LNS RIV1852 water inlet valve is engineered specifically for Manitowoc Maker ice machines, matching the exact dimensions and connection points of the original OEM component. Crafted from high‑grade black plastic, the valve offers excellent resistance to corrosion, temperature fluctuations, and the chemical exposure typical in ice‑making environments. Its compact 1‑inch cubic form factor (1 x 1 x 1 inches) allows seamless integration into the existing water line without requiring any modifications to the machine housing.

Key specifications include a 120 V, 60 Hz power rating with a modest 5 W consumption, ensuring the valve operates efficiently while delivering a steady water flow. The part carries a one‑year warranty, reflecting confidence in its durability and performance. With a weight of just one pound, the valve is lightweight yet robust, making handling and installation straightforward for technicians and end‑users alike.

Designed to replace part numbers 040003579 and 33129042, the RIV1852 is fully compatible with the Manitowoc Maker series, guaranteeing a perfect fit and reliable operation. The valve’s black plastic finish not only blends aesthetically with the machine’s interior but also helps conceal any minor wear or mineral deposits that may occur over time, extending the visual lifespan of the component.

Usage

This water inlet valve is ideal for both commercial settings—such as restaurants, hotels, and catering services—and residential wine cellar installations where consistent ice production is essential for beverage preservation and presentation. By ensuring a steady and controlled water supply, the valve supports the ice maker’s ability to generate clear, uniform ice cubes that meet the high standards required for premium wine service.

Installation is straightforward: simply shut off the water supply, disconnect the existing valve, and replace it with the RIV1852 using the standard fittings. The valve’s universal 1‑volt rating aligns with typical household and commercial electrical systems, allowing it to be used in a wide range of geographic locations without the need for additional adapters or transformers.

Because the valve is constructed from plastic, it is less prone to rust or mineral buildup compared with metal alternatives, reducing the frequency of maintenance checks. This makes it especially valuable in environments where water quality may vary, as the valve can tolerate occasional fluctuations without compromising performance.

FAQ

Is the RIV1852 compatible with all Manitowoc Maker ice machine models?

Yes, the RIV1852 is designed to replace part numbers 040003579 and 33129042, which are used across the entire Manitowoc Maker series. It fits the standard water inlet connections and electrical specifications of these models.

Can I install the valve myself, or do I need a professional?

The valve is engineered for easy, DIY installation. With basic tools—such as a screwdriver and adjustable wrench—you can disconnect the old valve and attach the new one in under 15 minutes. However, if you are uncomfortable working with electrical components, we recommend consulting a qualified technician.

What maintenance is required after installing the new valve?

Because the valve is made from corrosion‑resistant plastic, routine maintenance is minimal. We suggest checking the water line for leaks monthly and cleaning the inlet screen periodically to prevent debris buildup. No special chemicals or lubricants are needed.

How does the warranty work if the valve fails prematurely?

Our one‑year warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship. If the valve fails within the warranty period, simply contact our support team with the purchase details, and we will arrange a replacement at no additional cost.

Will the black plastic color affect the appearance of my ice machine?

The black plastic is chosen for its durability and ability to mask minor staining. It blends discreetly with the interior components of the ice machine, so the visual impact is negligible and does not affect the machine’s overall aesthetic.
