Water supply requirements

Use only 1/4" (6 mm) copper tubing for water line.

Do Not install copper tubing in area where temperatures drop below 32°F (0°C).

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

Do Not overtighten clamp or sleeve. This will crush copper tubing.

Check for leaks around saddle valve.

Water line to refrigerator must provide 15-100 psi (103-690 kPa) water pressure.

To calculate length of 1/4" (6 mm) O.D. copper tubing needed:

1.Locate a vertical 1/2" (1.2 cm) to 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) COLD water line near refrigerator area. A horizontal COLD water line can be used if directions in Step 4 are carefully followed.

2.Measure distance from cold water line to refrigerator area. Add 24" (61 cm) to this measurement.

To rough in water line:

3.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

4.Vertical cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16" (4.5 mm) hole in an easily accessible location in water line.

Horizontal cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16" (4.5 mm) hole in the top of the water line. This will keep sediment from collecting in valve.

5.Position washer over hole in water line. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to expose piercing lance a maximum of 3/16" (4.5 mm). Align piercing lance over hole in

water line. Place both

halves of saddle valve bracket against water line. Turn saddle

valve handle clockwise until piercing lance enters hole in water line and is

firmly seated. The saddle valve is not in the closed position. Tighten packing nut. Evenly and firmly tighten bracket screws so washer will make a water-tight connection. Do Not overtighten screws; copper tubing could be crushed.

6. Check that both

compression nut

ends of copper

 

 

tubing are cut

 

 

square. Slide

 

 

compression nut

 

sleeve

and sleeve onto copper

tubing. Insert end of copper tubing completely into valve outlet. Tighten compression nut to outlet with adjustable wrench. Do Not overtighten.

7.Turn on main water supply. Check for leaks. Turn saddle valve handle counterclockwise and run water through copper tubing and into a bucket. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to shut off water to copper tubing.

8.Route copper tubing to refrigerator area.
