INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line.
1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on
the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
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,
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing
off any sediment from the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a ¼ (6.35 mm) hole in the water "
pipe 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.
NOTE: Licensed plumbers must use only cooper
NDA tubing #49595 or 49499 or Cross Link
Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.
