Installing the water line.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Installing the Water Line
Install the Shutoff Valve
Prepare to install the shutoff valve on the nearest
frequently used drinking water line.
Shut off the main water supply.
Then turn on an
appropriate faucet to release pressure in the
chosen pipe.
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 a 1/4
″
hole in the water pipe, using a sharp
bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the
hole in the pipe.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe
with the pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing
washer begins to swell.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the pipe or
damage the tubing.

Route the Copper Tubing and Connect It to the Shutoff Valve
Route the copper tubing between the cold water
line and the refrigerator.
If necessary, drill a hole in the wall or floor (behind
the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to
the wall as possible.
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8
feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10
″
(25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to
move out from the wall after installation.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the
shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve.
Tighten the compression nut securely.
Also check if the shutoff valve is closed before
advancing to the next step.
Turn On the Water and Flush Out the Tubing
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the
tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the shutoff valve after at
least one quart (1 L) of water has been flushed
through the tubing.
