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 1/2" 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.

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.
5.
Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes-approved
water supply line to the refrigerator.
NOTE : If the main water shutoff valve is behind the
refrigerator, a secondary water shutoff valve may be
installed in line with the water supply line at the front
of the product.
