and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
,, Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 100 psi.

inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the
refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type
shutoff valve.
