8. Insert the tube fully into the valve outlet, and screw the

compression nut snugly in place.

9. Turn off the valve, and coil the slack tubing, taking care

not to kink it.

10. Connect the flexible, code-approved water-supply line

to the open end of the copper tubing as in Steps 7, 8.

11. With the end of the flex tube in a bucket, open the

valve, and adjust the fittings where any leaks occur.

Connecting the Flex Tubing to the

Refrigerator

The flexible, code-approved tubing can connect to the

supply valve through the floor or side cabinetry.

1. (With the refrigerator unplugged) Connect the 7 ft. (2.1

m) min. flexible tube to the main-line outlet (whether to

the copper line or the supply-line valve as installed in

one of the previous connection procedures).

2. Run water through the tube from the main water-supply

line to flush out particulates and air.

3. (At several points along the flex tube) Tape the tube to

the floor 7” (17.8 cm) to the right of the refrigerator’s

left side and parallel to the cabinet wall.

NOTE

Flush the line until the water runs clear.

Style 2: Copper Tube to Shut-Off Valve

1. (With the refrigerator unplugged) Turn off the main

water supply; turn on the nearest faucet briefly to clear

the water from the line.

2. Find a 1/2” to 1 1/4” (1.3 cm to 3.2 cm) vertical cold-

water pipe near the refrigerator.

3. Determine copper tube length by measuring from the

refrigerator connection to the water pipe, then add 7 ft

(2.1 m) so the refrigerator can be slid out of its cabinet

without disconnecting the water line.

4. With a cordless drill, put a 1/4” (6.4 mm) hole in the

cold-water pipe.

5. Ensure the outlet end is solidly in the drill hole and

the washer is under the pipe clamp, then tighten the

packing nut.

6. Tighten the pipe-clamp screws slowly and evenly (but

not overly tight) so the valve mechanism seals to the

main water pipe.

7. Slip first the compression nut, then the compression

sleeve onto the copper tube.

IMPORTANT

If using a horizontal pipe, drill the pipe from the top to keep

water away from the drill and to prevent sediment from

collecting in the valve.

IMPORTANT

Use 1/4” (6.4 mm) OD (outside diameter) copper tubing; cut

both ends squarely.

Callout Feature

A Packing nut (keeps water from leaking at shut-off valve)

B Shut-off valve (controls water passage from main line to refrig.)

C Cold-water pipe (home water-supply line)

D Pipe clamp (secures shut-off valve to main supply line)

E Copper tubing (connects main supply line to refrigerator)

F, G Compression nut, sleeve (join copper tubing to valve/refrigerator)

IMPORTANT

Overtightening the nut will crush the copper tubing.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

Before attaching the tubing to the shut-off valve, ush the main

water-supply line to remove particles and air in the line. Stop

when the water is clear. This action helps keep filters/valves

from clogging.

NOTE

• The 7” distance and the tape holds the tubing in a specific

place so the refrigerator can pass safely over the tubing when

installed/removed.

• Leave a minimum 26” (66.0 cm) of slack at the front end of

the flex tube for connection to the refrigerator.
