Connect toWater L ine
1. Unplug r efrigerator
ordisconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ONnearest faucet long
enough toclear l ine ofwater.
3. Locate a 1/2" to11/4 ''(1.25 cmto3.18 cm) v ertical cold water
pipe near t herefrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
• Make sure itisacold water p ipe.
• Horizontal pipe willwork, butdrill o nthetopside ofthe
pipe, n otthebottom. This will h elp keep water a way f rom
thedrill a nd normal sediment from collecting inthevalve.
Determine thelength o fcopper tubing y ouneed. Measure
from theconnection onthelower l eftrear o frefrigerator
tothe
water p ipe. Add7 ft (2.1 m)toallow forcleaning. Use 1/4"
(6.35 mm) O .D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Besure both
ends ofcopper tubing arecutsquare.
Using a grounded drill, d rill a 1/4" hole inthecoldwater p ipe
youhave selected.
A. Cold water pipe
E. Compression sleeve
B. Pipe clamp
F. Shutoff valve
C. Copper tubing
G.Packing nut
D. Compression nut
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"drilled hole in
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do
not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression
sleeve and compression
nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn
ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.
Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression
nut. Do not
overtighten.
3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help prevent
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
