Drill a ¼” (6.35 mm) hole in the water
pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve) using a
sharp bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the
hole in the pipe. Take care
not to allow water to drain
into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼” (6.35 mm) hole
may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.
NOTE:

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten or you may crush
the tubing.
6. ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and the
refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or
floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE:
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about
8 feet (244 mm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10”
(25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.

1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on
the line.
Choose a location for the valve that
is easily accessible. It is best to connect
into the side of a vertical water pipe.
When it is necessary to connect into a
horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, eather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing
off any sediment from the water pipe.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
