•Basic tools: adjustable wrench, flat blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM screwdriver.
•Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
•A water supply line made of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of
copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the
back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately
7 feet (2.1 meters), so
the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.
•A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a
self-piercing type shutoff valve.
•A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecng the water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.
