CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(CONTINUED)

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe

with the pipe clamp.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered

to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not

permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your

licensed plumber.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing

washer begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush

the tubing.

6. 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.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing

(about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10″

diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out

from the wall after installation.

7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule

(sleeve) for copper tubing 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.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered

to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not

permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your

licensed plumber.

8. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply

on and flush out the tubing

until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the

water valve after about one

quart of water has been

flushed through the tubing.
