To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from an electrical
power source.
2. Place the end of water supply line into the sink or
a bucket. Turn ON the water supply and flush the
supply line until the water is clear. Turn OFF the
water supply at the shuto valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet and
discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing, slide the brass com-
pression nut and then ferrule (sleeve) onto the
water supply line. Push the water supply line into
the water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼" / 6.4
mm). Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into the valve inlet
and finger tighten the compression nut onto the
valve. Tighten another ½ turn with a wrench; DO
NOT overtighten. See below.

5. Secure the copper line to the clamp (as shown),
using the existing screw.
If you use braided flexible stainless steel tubing,
the nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide
the nut onto the valve inlet and finger tighten the
nut onto the valve. Tighten another ½ turn with a
wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See below.

NOTE
Water lines should be long enough to all ow the
refrigerator to roll forward for cleaning or service.
Typically, 6 ft. length works well for braided
Stainless or Poly kits. A ¼" copper line should be
longer to coil extra length behind the refrigerator so
movement will not kink the copper line.

erator as shown.
