INSTALLATION

add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient

extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3

turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow

the refrigerator to move out from the wall after

installation.

•

½ in. or adjustable wrench.

•

Flat-blade and Phillips screwdrivers.

•

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 you are using a PEX water line kit,

it may already have the required fittings at either

end.

• 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 use a compression

fitting.

NOTE

• The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.

Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing

(NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link

Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

• Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8

ft. coiled into three turns of about 10 in.

diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out

from the wall after installation.

Connecting Water Line to

Refrigerator

Connect the tubing to the shutoff valve.
• Place the compression nut and ferrule

(sleeve) onto the end of the copper tubing

and connect it to the shutoff valve. If you

are using PEX, the tubing may already have

the required fittings at either end. Make

sure the tubing is fully inserted into the

valve. Tighten the compression nut

securely.

Packing Nut

Shutoff Valve

Compression Nut

Ferrule (sleeve)

Flush out the tubing into a bucket.
• Flush out the tubing coming from the home

water supply 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.

NOTE

• Before making the connection to the

refrigerator, be sure that the refrigerator power

cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

Remove the flexible plastic cap from the water

valve on the refrigerator.

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

onto the end of the tubing as shown. If you

are using a PEX connection kit, it may already

have the required fittings.

Insert the end of the copper or PEX tubing

into the connection as far as possible. While

holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
