5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected. A G B C FE D A. Cold water pipe B. Pipe clamp C. Copper tubing D. Compression nut E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve G. Packing nut 6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten. IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from becoming clogged. 7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten the clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing. 8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing. 9. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the shutoff valve. 10. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff valve ON. 11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or connections (including connections at the valve) that leak. Connect to Refrigerator Parts Supplied to ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm to 6.35 mm) male-to-male coupling NOTE: The flexible, codes approved water supply line can connect to the supply valve through the floor or through the side cabinets, as indicated by the gray boxes above. 1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water tube to the water supply valve. 3. Flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. 4. Tape the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water supply line to the floor, 7" (17.78 cm) from the left side of the refrigerator. Tape along the length of the tubing, which will allow it to pass beneath the refrigerator without interference. NOTE: Allow a minimum of 26" (66.04 cm) of flexible codes approved water supply line to be loose at the front of the refrigerator for connecting to the refrigerator. 5. Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water supply line to the refrigerator. NOTE: If the main water shutoff valve is behind the refrigerator, a secondary water shutoff valve may be installed in line with the water supply line at the front of the product. C B A D E FG A.
