4. Place end of copper tub-
ing into water valve inlet
port. Shape tubing
slightly – DO NOT KINK –
so that tubing feeds
straight into inlet port.
5. Slide brass nut over sleeve
and screw nut into inlet port.
Tighten nut with wrench.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overtight-
en. Cross threading may occur.
6. Pull on tubing to confirm
connection is secure.
Connect tubing to frame
with water tubing clamp (F)
and turn on water supply.
Check for leaks and
correct, if present.
7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours.
Correct leaks, if necessary.
To avoid property damage or possi-
ble injury, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
➢ Consult a plumber to connect
copper tubing to household plumb-
ing to assure compliance with local
codes and ordinances.
➢ Confirm water pressure to water
valve is between 20 and 100
pounds per square inch. If water
filter is installed, water pressure to
water valve must be a minimum of
35 pounds per square inch.
➢ DO NOT use a self-piercing, or
3
⁄16" saddle valve! Both reduce
water flow, become clogged with
time, and may cause leaks if repair
is attempted.
➢ Tighten nuts by hand to prevent
cross threading. Finish tightening
nuts with pliers and wrenches. Do
not overtighten.
➢ Wait 24 hours before placing refrig-
erator into final position to check
and correct any water leaks.
