5.Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

6.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown in the diagram. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end of the shutoff valve as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

7.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Water Supply Connection

1.Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

2.Before attaching copper tubing to refrigerator, flush at least 2 qts. (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and into a bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line.

3.Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Do not overtighten clamp or sleeve. This will crush copper tubing.

4.Make connection to refrigerator.

Style 1: Slide the purchased nut then the purchased ferrule onto the tubing. Push the tubing into the purchased coupling as far as it will go. Slide the nut and ferrule forward. Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
