Water Supply Requirements
Water line to refrigerator must provide
15-l 00 psi (103-690 kPa) water pressure.
To calculate length of l/4" (6 mm)
O.D. copper tubing needed:
1. Locate a vertical l/2" (1.2 cm) to l-1 /4"
(3.2 cm) COLD water line near refrigerator
area. A horizontal COLD water line can be
used if directions in Step 4 are carefully
followed.
2. Measure distance from cold water line
to refrigerator area. Add 24" (61 cm) to
this measurement.
To rough in water line:
3. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON
nearest faucet long enough to clear line of
water.
4. Vertical cold water line: Use
grounded electric drill or hand drill to
drill 3/l 6" (4.5 mm) hole in an easily
accessible location in water line.
Horizontal cold water line: Use
grounded electric drill or hand drill to
drill 3/l 6" (4.5 mm) hole in the top of
the water line. This will keep sediment
from collecting in valve.
5. Position washer over hole in water line.
Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to
expose piercinq lance a
Electrical Shock Hazard
Some water may remain in line.
Electric drill must be grounded to
prevent severe or lethal shock if water
is in line and enters drill during use.
Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or death.
Product/Property Damage
1 Use only l/4" (6 mm) copper
tubing for water line.
l
Do Not install copper tubing in
area where temperatures drop
below 32°F (WC).
l
Before attaching copper tubing to
refrigerator, flush at least 2 quarts
(1.9 L) of water through the
copper tubing and into a bucket
to get rid of any particles in the
water line.
l
Do Not overtighten clamp or
sleeve. This will crush copper
tubing.
l
Check for leaks around saddle
valve.
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in water damage to
property or product damage.
saddle valve bracket against
water line. Turn saddle valve
handle clockwise until
piercing lance enters hole
in water line and is
firmly seated. The
saddle valve is not in
position. Tighten pat
Evenly and firmly tighten bracket screws
so washer will make a water-tight
connection. Do Not over-tighten screws;
copper tubing could be crushed.
6. Check that both ends of copper tubing
are cut square. Slide compression nut and
sleeve onto copper tubing. Insert end of
copper tubing completely into valve outlet.
Tighten compression nut to outlet with
adjustable wrench. Do Not overtighten.
7. Turn on main water supply. Check for
leaks. Turn saddle valve handle
