Connecting the Water Supply Line Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line. Shut off the main water supply: Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water. 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. If necessary to connect to a horizontal water pipe, make the connection at the top or side rather than at the bottom, to avoid any sediment from the water pipe. Drill the hole for the valve: Drill a ¼" hole in the water pipe (even if you are using a self-piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Make sure not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼" hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller ice cubes. Fasten the shutoff valve: Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR must be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use in not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber. Tighten the pipe clamp: Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing water begins to swell. Do not overtighten or you may crush the tubing. 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. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8', 2.4m, coiled into 3 turns of about 10", 25cm diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
