Turn on the nearest fimcet long enou,,h_ to clear
the line of water.
[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the xahe that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a
;ertical water pipe. _4hen it is necessar) to connect
into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection
to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to
axuld drawing off' any sediment fl'om the water pipe.
[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (exen if using a
self:i)iercing, xalxe), using a sharp bit. Remoxe any
burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Faihu'e to drill a 1/4" hole ma} result in reduced
ice production or smaller cubes.
