Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum ¹⁄₂" size copper household supply line is recommended.
