Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
� Flat-blade screwdriver
� 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
� 1/4" Nut driver
� 1/4" Drill bit
� Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper or PEX
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-
type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is
connected, turn off the ice maker.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a
1/2" copper or PEX household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a
minimum 1/2" size copper or PEX household supply line is
recommended.
A. Bulb
B. Nut
C. Copper or PEX tubing (to
refrigerator)
D. Household supply line (1/2"
minimum)
4. Now you are ready to connect the copper or PEX tubing to the
shutoff valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft
copper or PEX tubing to connect the shutoff valve and the
refrigerator.
� Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.
Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
� Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper
tubing as shown. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves
and compression nuts preinstalled.) Insert end of tubing
into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw
compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench.
Do not overtighten.
A. Compression
sleeve
B. Compression
nut
C. Copper or PEX tubing
5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible
water valve malfunction.
6. Bend the copper or PEX tubing to meet the water line inlet,
which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet. Leave
a coil of copper or PEX tubing to allow the refrigerator to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
Connect to Refrigerator
Depending on your model, the water line may come down from
the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions
for your model.
Style 1
1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the
copper or PEX tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut
and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten. Confirm copper or PEX tubing is secure by pulling
on tubing.
2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks
when coiling the tubing. Secure copper or PEX tubing to
refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.
A. Copper or
PEX tubing
B. “P” clamp
C. Compression nut
D. Compression sleeve
3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks.
Correct any leaks.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end
of the water line inlet.
3. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by
hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not
overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not
touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.
A. Household water
line
B. Nut (purchased)
C. Ferrule (purchased)
D. Refrigerator water tubing
