6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (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 washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten, or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
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
clamp or the sleeve. This 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 prevent clogged filters and/or water valves.
8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
9. Check for leaks around the saddle valve.
Connecting to Refrigerator
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing
on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. Measure the distance from the shutoff valve to the opening in
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."
4. A ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm to 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in order
to connect the water tubing to an existing household water
line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of
the copper tubing.
