How far can the condensor be located away from ice machine
I have a Hoshizaki Modular ccrescent cuber Model KM-900MRH3 which is designed to have a remote condensor. My question is how far can the condensor be located away from ice machine?

I usually don't exceed 25 feet. If it is a straight up install, that is, the remote is on a roof, you may have to install traps to ensure proper oil return to the compressor, Otherwise, it will lockup on ya.
I have look alittle deeper and could not find the exact model number you have but I did find 2 units that are probably very close to what you have. The instruction for the KM-800M and the KM-900MRF3 both indicate that the condenser should not be more than 33 ft above or 10 ft below the ice maker. These measurements are from fitting to fitting. There are no indicated distances as to length, as in far away. Just how high or low. Hope this clears this up some. It also indicates that Hoshizaki sells precharged line sets in 20,35, and 55 length sets. So that should be a further indication as to what you are looking for.
