Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. If necessary to connect to a horizontal

water pipe, make the connection at the top or side rather than at the bottom, to avoid any sediment from the water pipe.

¸/..-¸¸¸¸¸¸.¸%

Drill the homefor the valve:

Drill a ¼" hole in the water pipe (even if you are using a self+piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.

Make sure not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a %" hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller ice cubes.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing water begins to swell. Do not over- tighten or you may crush the tubing.

Route the tubing:

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator. Route the

tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. Be sure there is

sufficient extra tubing (about 8', 2.4m, coiled into 3 turns of about 10", 25cm diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Connecting the Water

Connect the tubing to the valve:

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper onto the end of the tubing and connect it 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 must be adhered to. Saddle vales are

illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.
