Connecting to water line

1.Find a M-inch to 1%-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the

following precaution must be taken: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

2.Measure from connection on rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet

(2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. This is the length of X-inch O.D. copper tubing you will need for the job (length from connection to water pipe PLUS 7 feet [2.1 ml). Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

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

4.Using a grounded drill, drill a %-inch hole on the cold water pipe you have selected.

5.Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the %-inch 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 over-tighten 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 compres- sion nut on copper tubing as shown in diagram. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten. Turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut- off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.
