Connecting the Water Supply Line
Connecting the tubing to the valve
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper onto the end of the tubing and connect to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
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.
Flush out the tubing
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter) of water has been flushed through the tubing.
Connect the tubing to the refrigerator
Caution
Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
1. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.
2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.
After installing the water line, please confirm no leakage at every connection before using the refrigerator.
