TO THE REFRIGERATOR
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On

are already assembled to the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the water
valve connection as far as possible. While holding
the tubing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a SmartConnect Refrigerator
Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into
the refrigerator connection and tighten compression
nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional
turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold
