•Connect 1/4” (6mm) flexible copper tubing to household plumbing in compliance with local codes and ordinances.
•Length of copper tubing must reach from water supply connection to refrigerator connection plus an additional length
to facilitate moving the refrigerator out of enclosure for cleaning or service. Tubing should be soft instead of rigid and
ends should be free of burrs.
•Copper tubing route must be above 35oF (1.6oC) to prevent water line from freezing.
•If saddle valve is not used, place a separate shut-off valve in an easily accessible location between water supply and
refrigerator. Do not locate shut-off valve behind refrigerators.

•Connect a vertical or horizontal 1/2” (1.2 cm) to 1 1/4” (3.2 cm) COLD water line near refrigerator area.
•Run water line through the floor, back or side wall. Tubing should lay flat on floor underneath refrigerator. Clamp
tubing to wall or floor.
•Water pressure must be greater than 20 psi and less than 120 psi.
To rough in water line:
1. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. 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.
3. Position washer over hole in water line. Place both halves of saddle valve bracket
against water line. turn saddle valve handle clockwise until firmly seated. The
saddle valve is now 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.
4. Check that both ends of copper tubing are cut square. Slide compression nut
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.
