[!] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY.

of water_
[_ INSTALL THE SHUTOFF VALVE.
a. Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line..
b. Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to
the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid
drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
c. Drill a 1/4 hole in the water pipe, using a sharp bit.
Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in
the pipe.

close to the wall as possible.
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8 feet
(244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10 (25 cm)
diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out from
the wall after installation.
