Connecting the Water Line
• Connecting your unit to a water line will require:
o Adjustable flat wrench
o Flat head screwdriver
o Phillips head screwdriver
o Shutoff valve (DO NOT use a self-piercing shutoff valve)
o Compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
• You will also require access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and
120psi.
• A ¼” (6.4mm) water supply line, made of copper tubing, is preferred. To determine the length of
the copper tubing, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to your cold-water pipe. Then, add approximately 7’ (2.1 meters), to allow for the
refrigerator to be moved when cleaning.
NOTE: Before connecting the water line to the unit, be sure the unit is not connected to a power
source.
1. Place the end of the water supply line
into a sink or bucket. Turn the water
supply ON and flush supply line until the
water is clear.
2. Turn the water supply OFF at shut off valve.
3. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the
water valve inlet.
4. Place the compression nut and
ferrule(sleeve) onto the end of the tubing.
5. Insert the end of the copper tubing into
the connection as far as possible. While
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
6. Turn the water supply ON at shutoff
valve, and tighten any connections that
leak.
