Route the Copper Tubing and Connect It to the Shutoff Valve
Route the copper tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.
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.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
