or possible
injury,
follow
basic precautions,
including
the following:
Consult a plumber to connect '/4" O.D. copper
tubing
to household
plumbing
to assure
compliance
with local codes and ordinances.
Confirm water pressure to water valve is between
35 and 100 pounds per square inch.
Do not use a self-piercing,
or _,6" saddle valve.
Both reduce water flow and can become clogged
over time, and may cause leaks if repair is
attempted.
Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Finish tightening
nuts with pliers and wrenches.
Do
not over-tighten.
Wait two to three hours before placing refrigerator
into final position to check and correct any water
leaks.
Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.
Verify the copper tubing
under the sleeve is smooth
and free from defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve.
Materials
Needed:
* '/4" outer diameter flexible copper tubing
* Shut-off valve (requires a '/4" hole to be drilled into
water supply line before valve attachment)
, Adjustable
wrench
(2)
, '/4" hex nut driver
Notes:
Use copper tubing
only for installation.
Plastic is
less durable and can cause damage.
* Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of sewice loop.
.
Create service loop with copper
tubing
(minimum
2' diameter).
Avoid kinks in the copper tubing
when bending the service loop.
2' diameter

Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
port.
Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B)
A
on copper tube end as illustrated.
Reminder:
Do not use an old
sleeve.
/4. Place end of copper tubing into water
valve inlet port. Shape tubing

Do not overtighten.
Cross
threading
may occur.
