Installation 5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut into inlet port. Place adjustable wrench on nut (1) attached to plastic waterline 1 and maintain position. 2 Using second adjustable wrench turn the lower nut (2) counterclockwise and fully tighten while holding the upper nut in place. Important: Do not over-tighten. Cross-threading may occur. 6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection is secure. Connect tubing to frame with water tubing clamp (C) and turn on water supply. Check for leaks and correct if necessary. Continue to observe the water supply connection for two to three hours prior to moving the C refrigerator to its permanent location. 7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct leaks, if necessary. Alternate connection (select models) Materials Needed: • 1⁄4" outer diameter flexible copper tubing • Shut-off valve (requires a 1⁄4" hole to be drilled into water supply line before valve attachment) • Adjustable wrench • 1⁄4" hex nut driver Notes: • Use copper tubing only for installation.

Important: Do not
over-tighten. Cross-threading
may occur.
6.
Pull on tubing to confirm
connection is secure.
Connect tubing to frame
with water tubing clamp
(C)
and turn on water supply.
Check for leaks and correct
if necessary. Continue to
observe the water supply
connection for two to three
hours prior to moving the
refrigerator to its permanent
location.
7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct
leaks, if necessary.
1. Create service loop with copper
tubing (minimum 2’ diameter).
Avoid kinks in the copper tubing
when bending the service loop.
Do not
use plastic tubing.
2. Remove plastic cap from water
valve inlet port.
3. Place brass nut
(A)
and sleeve
(B)
on copper tube end as illustrated.
