Connect the Tubing to Water Line 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line. It may help to open an outside faucet to allow the water to drain from the line in the house. 3. Find a 1/2dnch to 1-1/4-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator. 4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from the connection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4dnch O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square. 5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4dnch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected. 6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4dnch drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. 7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten. 8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below. _jjl Packing Nut\ __/j_ \ _ ih I Cold Water Pipe Pipe Clamp Coil of Polyethylene or Shut Off Valve_ Compress'_ Compression Nut _
