CAUTION
To avoid property damage or possible injury, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Consultaplumbertoconnect1⁄4”O.D. copper tubing to household
plumbing to assure compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 35 and 100 pounds
per square inch, 20 pounds per square inch without filter.
• Donotuseaself-piercing,or3⁄16”saddlevalve.Bothreducewater
flow and can become clogged over 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 two to three hours before placing refrigerator into final position to
check and correct any water leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.
• Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is smooth and free from
defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve.

1. Create service loop with copper tubing (minimum 2’
diameter).
Avoid kinks in the copper tubing when bending it
into a service loop. Do not use plastic tubing.
2. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port.
3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B) on copper
tube end as illustrated. Reminder: Do not use an
old sleeve. The nut and sleeve are provided in the
use and care packet.
4. Place end of copper tubing 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.
Place adjustable wrench on nut (1) attached
to plastic waterline and maintain position.
Using second adjustable wrench turn the
lower nut (2) counterclockwise and fully
tighten while holding the upper nut in place.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. Cross
threading may occur.
6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection
is secure. Connect tubing to frame
with water tubing clamp (C) and turn
on water supply. Check for leaks
and correct if necessary. Continue to
observe the water supply connection
for two to three hours prior to moving
the refrigerator to its permanent
location.
7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct leaks, if necessary.
