Jenn-Air W10379136B manual Style 2-Copper Line Connection, Parts Supplied, Connect to Refrigerator

Style 2—Copper Line Connection		Connect to Refrigerator
NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications
in “Water Supply Requirements,” proceed to “Connecting to		Parts Supplied:
Refrigerator.” If not, use the following instructions to connect to
the household cold water supply.		■ ¹⁄₄" to ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm to 6.35 mm) male-to-male coupling
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
	enough to clear line of water.
3.	Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water	6"	6"
	pipe near the refrigerator.
		(15.2 cm)	(15.2 cm)
	IMPORTANT:
	■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
	■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
	pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
	the drill and keep normal sediment from collecting in the
	valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure			1"
	from the connection on the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add	7"	(2.54 cm)
	7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D.
		(17.78 cm)
	(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
	copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
	water pipe you have selected.

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" (6.35 mm) 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.

IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from becoming clogged.

NOTE: The flexible, codes approved water supply line should connect to the supply valve through the floor.

1.Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water tube to the water supply valve.

3.Flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear.

4.Tape the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water supply line to the floor, 7" (17.78 cm) from the left side of the refrigerator. Tape along the length of the tubing, which will allow it to pass beneath the refrigerator without interference.

NOTE: Allow a minimum of 26" (66.04 cm) of flexible codes approved water supply line to be loose at the front of the refrigerator for connecting to the refrigerator.

5.Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water supply line to the refrigerator.

NOTE: If the main water shutoff valve is behind the refrigerator, a secondary water shutoff valve may be installed in line with the water supply line at the front of the product.

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.	Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
	tubing.
9.	Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the
	water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
	shutoff valve.
10.	Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
	valve ON.
11.	Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or
