INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(CONTINUED)

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.

NOTE:

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.

NOTE:

Do not overtighten or you may crush

the tubing.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the
refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or
floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet)
as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE:

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about

8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after
installation.

7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for copper tubing 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.

NOTE:

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.

8. 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 water
valve after about one quart of
water has been flushed through
the tubing.
