Installation Instructions
Using a cordless drill, drill a ¼” (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
5.
water pipe you have selected.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
6.
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¼” (6.35 mm)
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 the washer makes a watertight
seal. Do not overtighten.
Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
7.
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 the
nut or the sleeve. Doing so will crush the copper tubing.
IMPORTANT
: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve,
flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in
the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear.
Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water
valves from becoming clogged.
Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
8.
tubing.
Check for leaks around the saddle valve.
9.
Connecting to Refrigerator
Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
1.
Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing
2.
on the rear of the refrigerator.
Measure the distance from the shutoff valve to the opening in
3.
which the refrigerator will be located. Tubing must be extended
from the shutoff valve into the refrigerator opening following
specific guidelines. See
Water Supply Requirements
.
A ¼” x ¼” (6.4 mm x 6.4 mm) coupling is needed in order to
4.
connect the water tubing to an existing household water line.
Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the
copper tubing.
Turn shutoff valve ON.
5.
Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
6.
connections at the valve) that leak.
Plug in the refrigerator or reconnect power.
7.
Flush the water system. See
