iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUCTiONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the
line.
o 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.
When it is necessary to connect into
a horizontai water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing
off any sediment from the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
o
Dritl a 1/4 in. hole in the water
pipe using a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting from drilling
the hole in the pipe. Be carefut
not to allow water to drain into
the drill. Failure to dritl a 1/4in.
hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.
NOTE: The hookup tine cannot be white, plastic
tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper
tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link
Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.

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.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after
installation.
CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect
it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully
inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut
securely.
