INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

illegal, and their use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with a licensed plumber.
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the clamp or you may crush
the tubing.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and the
refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or
floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet)
as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after
installation.
7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the
copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect
it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully
inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut
securely.
