INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest
frequently
used drinking
water line.
1. SHUT
OFF THE
MAIN
WATER
SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line.
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 avoid drawing
off any sediment
from
the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water
pipe using a sharp bit. Remove

the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4"
hole may result in reduced
ice production
or
smaller cubes.
NOTE:
The hookup
line cannot
be white, plastic
tubing. Licensed
plumbers
must use only copper
tubing NDA tubing #49595
or 49599 or Cross
Link Polyethylene(PEX)
tubing.
4. FASTEN
THE SHUTOFF
VALVE
5. TIGHTEN
THE PIPE CLAMP

until the sealing
washer
begins to swell.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten
or you may crush the
tubing.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between
the cold water line and
the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through
a hole drilled in the wall
or floor (behind the refrigerator
or adjacent
base
cabinet)
as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE:
Be sure there is sufficient
extra tubing
(about 8 feet coiled
into 3 turns of about
10"
diameter)
to allow the refrigerator
to move out
from the wall after installation.
7. CONNECT
THE TUBING
TO 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.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe
with the pipe clamp.
