• Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts
and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper
tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator
water valve.
• If your existing copper water line has a flared
fitting at the end, purchase an adapter (available
at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water
line to the refrigerator OR cut off the flared fitting
with a tube cutter and then use a compression
fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with
a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the
point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.
Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many
water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure
a saddle-type valve complies with your local
plumbing codes.
NOTE
• A self-piercing saddle type water valve should
not be used.

NOTE
• The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard:
• When using any electrical device (such as
a power drill) during installation, be sure the
device is battery-powered, double-insulated
or grounded in a manner that will prevent the
hazard of electric shock.
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on the line.
Choose the valve location.
Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side
of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary
to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make
the connection to the top or side, rather than at
the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment
from the water pipe.
Drill the hole for the valve.
Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a
sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from
drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to
allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to
drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.
Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing
(NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link
Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
