Installing the water line.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Shut Off the Main Water Supply
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
Install the Shutoff Valve
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest
1
frequently used drinking water line.
Choose a location for the valve that is easily
2
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.
Drill a 1/4² hole in the water pipe, using a sharp
3
bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the
hole in the pipe.
Route the Copper Tubing and Connect It to the Shutoff Valve
Route the copper 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.
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8
feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10²
(25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to
move out from the wall after installation.
Turn On the Water and Flush Out the Tubing
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the
1
tubing until the water is clear.
16
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe
4
with the pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing
5
washer begins to swell.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper
tubing.
