6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" (6.35 mm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, ush
the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water
line. Allow enough ow so that water becomes clear. Flushing
the water line may help avoid lters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten the
clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.
8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
9. Connect the exible, codes-approved water supply line to the
water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
shutoff valve.
10. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or
connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.
Connect to Refrigerator
Parts Supplied
■ 1/4" to 1/4" (6.35 mm to 6.35 mm) male-to-male coupling (on
some models)
NOTE: The exible, codes-approved water supply line should
connect to the supply valve through the oor.
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) exible codes-approved water tube
to the water supply valve.
3. Flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in
the water line. Allow enough ow so that water becomes clear
4. Tape the 7 ft (2.13 m) exible codes-approved water supply
line to the oor, 7" (17.78 cm) from the left side of the
refrigerator. Tape along the length of the tubing, which will
allow it to pass beneath the refrigerator without interference.
NOTE: Allow a minimum of 26" (66.04 cm) of exible codes-
approved water supply line to be loose at the front of the
refrigerator for connecting to the refrigerator.
5. Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) exible codes-approved water supply
line to the refrigerator.
NOTE: If the main water shutoff valve is behind the refrigerator,
a secondary water shutoff valve may be installed in line with
the water supply line at the front of the product.
Overmold Coupling (on some models)
Discrete Coupling (on some models)
6. Turn on the water supply valve and check all connections for
leaks.
