Connect to Refrigerator 

Depending on your model, the water line may come down from 
the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions 
for your model. 

Style 1

1.

Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the 
copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and 
sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not 
overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on 
copper tubing.

2.

Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks 
when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to 
refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp. 

3.

Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. 
Correct any leaks.

Style 2

1.

Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 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 the 
plastic water line to the refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

7.

Turn on water supply to the refrigerator and check for leaks. 
Correct any leaks.
