Arrange the coil of tubing so
that it does not vibrate against
the back of the refrigerator
or against the wall. Push the
refrigerator back to the wall.
CONNECT THE TUBING

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing as shown. On SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts are already
assembled to the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve
connection as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a SmartConnect Refrigerator
Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into
the refrigerator connection and tighten compression
nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional
turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it
in a vertical position. You may need to pry open the
clamp.
Tighten any connections that leak.
