INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (Cont.)
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.
2. 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 horizontal water pipe,
make the connection to the top or
side, rather than at the bottom, to
äùòìççõäúìñêòģäñüöèçìðèñ÷éõòð
the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4” hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4” hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes
248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and
use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your
licensed plumber.
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins
to swell.
NOTE: Do not over tighten or you may crush
the tubing.
6. ROUTE THE TUBING

refrigerator.

(behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close
to the wall as possible.
7. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper
tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the
