What is the footprint and installation requirement for these ice machines?

Installation requirements differ mainly by format:

UB25-15 (compact, self-contained): designed for under-counter placement. You will still need airflow for ventilation, a cold water feed, and a reliable drain for meltwater and purge water. Plan access so the unit can be pulled forward for cleaning and servicing.

U‑Series modular heads (for example U165‑125 / U230‑175): require space for two components: the ice-making head plus a separate storage bin (often paired with bins such as B175 or B375). You also need service clearance around the head, plus straightforward access to the bin for sanitation.

Always confirm dimensions, required clearances, and ventilation type on the specific model sheet, as these vary across the range.
