Sweat

can
be
used
instead
of
the
compression
union,
if
desired.
NOTE:
When
using
unfiltered
well
water,
it is
advisable
to
use
a filter
in
the water
supply
line.
This
eliminates
all
possibility
of
small
particles
from
entering
the
water
valve.
Find
a
3/8" lo
1"
vertical
COLD
water
pipe
near
the
refrigerator.
Water
pressure
must
be between
20
and 1ZO
p.s.i.
Vertical
pipe
is
preferable,
but
a
horizontal
pipe
will
work.
lf
a
horizontal pipe
is
used,
install
the
saddle
valve
on
the top
or,the
side
of
the
pipe,
not
on
the
bottom.
Turn
OFF
the
main
water
supply
and
drain
the
selected
pipe.
Follow
the
installation
instructions
that
are
supplied
with the
saddle
valve
for
proper
and
safe installation.
Route
the
copper
tubing
through
the
floor,
wall
or
sink
cabinet to
the
saddle
valve
location.
Form
the
excess
tubing
into
a large
loop.
This
allows
movement
of the
refrigerator
without
disconnecting
the
tubing.
Other
routing
methods
are

All
installations
must
be in
accordance
with
local
plumbing
code
requirements.
Do not
use
plastic
tubing
or
plastic
fittings
because
the
connection
between
the
water
supply
and the
refrigerator
water
valve
inlet
is
under
constant
pressure.
Also,
certain
types
of
plastic
tubing
may
become
brittle
with
age
and
crack,
resulting
in
water
leakage.
Tubing
(1/4"

and
saddle
valve
can
be
purchased
from
local
hardware
stores.
