2.Measure from INLET on rear of

refrigerator to water pipe Add 7 feet to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning This is the length of 1/4" O_D_copper tubing you will need for the job (length from water valve to water pipe PLUS 7 feet) l Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square,

3. Turn OFF main water supply.1
