2. Connect the flexible, codes-approved water supply line to
the water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto
the shutoff valve as shown.

B. Nut
3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
Style 2—Copper Line Connection
NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications
in "Water Supply Requirements," proceed to "Connecting to
Refrigerator." If not, use the following instructions to connect to
the household cold water supply.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.3 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe
near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of
the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away
from the drill and keep normal sediment from collecting
in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the refrigerator to the water pipe.
Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.

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.
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.
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.
8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
9. Connect the flexible, codes-approved water supply line to
the water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto
the shutoff valve.
10. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or
connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.

NOTE: The flexible, codes-approved water supply line should
connect to the supply valve through the floor.
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes-approved water tube
to the water supply valve.
3. Flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in
the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear.
4. Tape the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes-approved water supply line
to the floor, 7" (17.78 cm) from the left side of the refrigerator.
Tape along the length of the tubing, which will allow it to pass
beneath the refrigerator without interference.
NOTE: Allow a minimum of 26" (66.04 cm) of flexible codes-
approved water supply line to be loose at the front of the
refrigerator for connecting to the refrigerator.
