6.Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" 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, or you may crush the copper tubing.
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.Before attaching copper tubing to the refrigerator place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink and turn on the main water supply. Flush at least 2 qt (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing until water is clear to get rid of any particles in the water line. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.
9.Check for leaks around the saddle valve.
Connecting to Refrigerator
Style 1 - Copper Line Connection
1.Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.
2.A ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
