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.
For plastic tubing from a SmartConnect™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the
tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression
nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional
turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause
leaks.

or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

FLUSH OUT THE TUBING
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the
tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after about
one quart (1 liter), or 2 minutes, of water has been
flushed through the tubing.
