2. SELECT THE LOCATION OF THE VALVE.
Select the location of the valve that will
provide a better access. It is best to connect
to a vertical pipeline. When connecting to a
horizontal pipeline is necessary, make the
connection in the lateral or upper area
instead of the lower area to prevent
accumulation of sediment.
3. DRILL A HOLE FOR THE VALVE.
Drill a ¼"(6,35 mm) diameter hole in the water
pipeline. Remove jagged edges produces after
perforation. Make sure water does not reach
the drill. Not performing the ¼"(6,35 mm)
perforation can lead to a low or smaller ice
production.
4. Tighten the valve.
Tight the valve into the cold water pipeline with a tube trap.

6. PLACE THE PIPELINE.
Place the pipeline between the cold water pipe and the
refrigerator. Place it through a hole in the wall or floor
(behind the refrigerator or next to the cabinet) as close
to the wall as possible.

pipeline (8 feet [244 mm] coiled up three times with a
10" [25 cm] in diameter) to allow free movement of the
refrigerator from the wall after installation was made.

Place the compression nut and the copper pipe ferule
at the end of the pipe and connect to the valve. Make
sure the pipe is completely inserted into the valve.
