INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line. Only connect to the potable water
provision.
1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve that
is easily accessible. It is best to connect
into the side of a vertical water pipe.
When it is necessary to connect into a
horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side,
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing
off any sediment from the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a ¼ (6.35 mm) hole in the water "
pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve) using a
sharp bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the
hole in the pipe. Take care
not to allow water to drain
into the drill. Failure to drill a
may result in reduced ice production
NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic
tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49499 or Cross Link
Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
