20 INSTALLATION
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a
minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff valves are included in many water supply
kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE
• A self-piercing saddle type water valve should not
be used.

Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING
Electric 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 shutoff 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 water 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.
4
Fasten the shutoff valve.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe
with the pipe clamp.
