Connect to Water Line:
Style 2 - Copper Line Connection
NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications
in Water Supply Requirements, proceed to Connect to
Refrigerator. If not, use the following instructions to connect to the
household cold water supply.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1¼" (1.3 cm to 3.2 cm) vertical cold water pipe
near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
- Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
- Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe,
not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill
and keep normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the refrigerator to the water pipe.
Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¼" (6.4 mm) O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper
tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¼" (6.4 mm) hole in the cold water
pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¼" (6.4 mm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush
the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water
line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing
the water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten the
clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.

8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
9. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the
water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
shutoff valve.
10. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or
connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.
Connecting to Refrigerator
Parts Supplied: ¼" to ¼" (6.4 mm to 6.4 mm) male to male
coupling.
(2.5 cm x 2.5 cm)
Possible water
7"
(17.8 cm)
NOTE: The flexible codes approved water supply line can connect
to the supply valve through the floor or through the side cabinets,
as indicated by the gray boxes above.
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Connect the 7 ft (2.1 m) minimum flexible codes approved
water tube to the water supply valve.
3. Flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in
the water line. Allow enough flow so that the water becomes
clear.
4. Tape the water supply line to the floor, 7" (17.8 cm) from the
left side of the refrigerator. Tape along the length of the tubing,
which will allow it to pass beneath the refrigerator without
interference.
NOTE: Allow a minimum of 26" (66.0 cm) of flexible codes
approved water supply line to be loose at the front of the
refrigerator for connecting to the household water line.
