Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard:
When using any electrical device (such as a
power drill) during installation, be sure the
device is battery powered, double insulated
or grounded in a manner that will prevent the
hazard of electric shock.
Install the shut off valve on the nearest.
frequently used drinking water line.
1
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on 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, rather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing
off any sediment from the ater pipe.
3
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a ¼ in. hole in
the water pipe using
a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting
from drilling the
hole in the pipe. Be
careful not to allow
water to drain into
the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may
result in reduced ice production or smaller
cubes.
NOTE
The hookup line cannot be white, plastic
tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only
copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or
#49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX)
tubing.
