Note
• Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of service loop.
1. Create service loop with copper
tubing (minimum 2' diameter).
Avoid kinks in the copper tubing
when bending the service loop.
2. Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet port.
3. Place brass nut (A) and
sleeve (B) on copper
tube end as illustrated.
(Do not use old sleeve.)
4. Place end of copper tubing into water
valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly. Do
not kink – so that tubing feeds straight
into inlet port.
5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut
into inlet port. Tighten nut with wrench.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten. Cross
threading may occur.
6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection is
secure. Connect tubing to frame with
water tubing clamp (C) and turn on
water supply. Check for leaks and
correct if necessary. Continue to
observe the water supply connection
for two to three hours prior to moving
the refrigerator to its permanent
location.
7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours.
Correct leaks, if necessary.
