Installing the water line.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Shut Off the Main Water Supply

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

OperatingInstructions

Install the Shutoff Valve

1 Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

2 Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

5 Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

Route the Copper Tubing and Connect It to the Shutoff Valve

Route the copper tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10″ (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
