•
Make
sure it is a cold water
pipe.
•
Horizontal
pipe will work, but the following
procedure
must
be followed:
Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom.
This will help keep water
away
from the drill. This
also keeps normal
sediment
from collecting
in the valve.
Determine
the length of copper
tubing
you need. Measure
from
the connection
on the lower right rear of the refrigerator
to the
water
pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning.
Use 1¼,,
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)
copper
tubing.
Be sure both
ends of copper
tubing
are cut square.
