Connect The Ice Maker (Nx6Im And Nx8Im Models); Connect The Water Supply Line - Norcold NX64 Manuel D'installation

Connect the Ice Maker (NX6IM and NX8IM models)

The ice maker is assembled to the refrigerator at the factory as optional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have a factory installed
ice maker, one can not be added to the refrigerator at a later time.
The refrigerator installer must connect a cold water supply line to the solenoid valve at the rear of the refrigerator. The following are
necessary to connect to the ice maker:
- 1/4 in. OD copper tubing for the water supply line.
OR
- 1/4 in. OD plastic tubing for the water supply line.
- 1/4 in. shut off valve in the water supply line. This should be easily accessible through the lower intake vent.

Connect the water supply line:

Install a 1/4 in. OD water supply line [43] from the water shut off valve of the vehicle to the solenoid water valve [44] at the rear of the
refrigerator (See Art01014):
A brass compression nut [45], a brass sleeve, a plastic sleeve [46] , and
NOTICE
a brass insert [47] are supplied and attached to the rear of the refrigerator
(See Art01755).
- Put the compression nut and then the sleeve onto the water supply line [43].
- For copper tubing, use the brass sleeve.
- For plastic tubing, use the plastic sleeve [46].
- For plastic tubing with .040 in. wall thickness, also use the brass insert [47].
- Flush the water supply line until the water is clear.
- Put the tubing into the water valve until it is against the stop.
- Tighten the compression nut by hand (hard finger tight).
- Using two wrenches, tighten the compression nut 1 ½ to 2 turns.
- Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.
- Examine the connections for leaks.
