Installation
Connect to Water Line
(cont.)
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 slowly 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. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2
ft. [61.0 cm]) with the copper tubing. Avoid
kinks when coiling the copper tubing.
2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet
port. Place a compression nut and sleeve on
the copper tubing.
3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the
water valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly so
that the tubing feeds straight into the port to
avoid kinks.
4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and
screw into the water valve inlet port.
5. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on
the plastic water line to keep it from moving.
Then, with a second wrench, turn the
compression nut on the copper tubing
counterclockwise to completely tighten. Do not
overtighten.
6. Check connection by pulling on copper tubing.
Attach copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet
with a “P” clamp. Turn on water supply to
refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any
leaks.

•
DO NOT
use power tools when performing leveling procedure.
Materials Needed
• 1/4” hex head driver
• Carpenter’s level
Note:
Complete any required panel installation and/or water supply connection before leveling.
Refrigerator should be in permanent location prior to leveling.
