This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator
or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully
to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to
úä÷èõïèäîäêèòõĥòòçìñêÌäïïäôøäïìĤèçóïøðåèõ÷òæòõõèæ÷
water hammer before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the
water line to the hot water line.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)
during installation, be sure the device is double insulated or
grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock,
or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or Universal Water Line Refrigerator
Tubing kit, 1/4” outer diameter to connect
the refrigerator to the water supply. If using
copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are
cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need: measure the
distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator
÷ò÷ëèúä÷èõöøóóïüóìóèËèöøõè÷ëèõèìööøĦæìèñ÷èû÷õä
tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall
after installation.
Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in
the following lengths:
6’ (1.8 m) – WX08X10006
15’ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015
25’ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025
NOTE: The only approved plastic tubing is that supplied in
Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use
any other plastic water supply line because the line is under
pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic will crack or
rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.
