Installation Connecting the Water Supply (select models) 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 • '/_" hex nut driver Note • Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water supply for creation of service loop. 1. Create service loop with copper tubing (minimum 2' diameter). Avoid kinks in the copper tubing when bending the service loop. 2. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. A 3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B) on copper tube end as illustrated. (Do not use old sleeve.) 4. Place end of copper tubing into water valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly. Do not kink - so that tubing feeds straight into inlet port. 5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut into inlet port. Tighten nut with wrench. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. Cross threading may occur. Pull on tubing to confirm connection is secure. Connect tubing to frame with water tubing clamp ((3) 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.
