(1)Connect Water Line to Household Water
Following are two methods of connecting to your
household water supply. Use the instructions
specific to your installation.
IMPORTANT: Turn off main water supply. Turn on
nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.
You will need the following tools(not supplied).
Method 1: Quarter-turn Shutoff Valve
Gather the required tools and parts before
starting installation.
1. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the
equivalent served by a household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the
refrigerator, a minimum 1/2" household supply
line is recommended.
2. Using the ferrule (sleeve) and 1/4" compression
nut, connect the 1/4" water line to the quarter-turn
shutoff valve.
NOTE: Do not overtighten.
Phillips screwdriver
Flat-blade screwdriver
1/2" or adjustable wrench
Drill and 1/4" drill bit
Quarter-turn shutoff valve
1 PCS
1/4" shutoff valve with
saddle clamp 1 PCS
Ferrule (sleeve) 2 PCS
1/4" compression nut 2 PCS
1/4" water line 1 PCS
3. Place the free end of the 1/4" water line into
an empty container or sink.
4. Turn on main water supply and open
quarter-turn shutoff valve to flush the 1/4" water
line of any contaminants. Run water until it is
clear.
Method 2: Shutoff Valve With Saddle clamp
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or
3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces
water flow and clogs easier.
1. Find a 1/2" to 11/4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm)
vertical water inlet near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
• Make sure it is a cold household supply line.
• Horizontal pipe will work, but the following
procedure must be followed: Drill on the top
side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will
help keep water away from the drill. This also
keeps normal sediment from collecting in
the valve.
2. Determine the length of 1/4" water line you
need. Measure from the connection on the rear
of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft
(2.1 m)to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) water line.
3. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the
household supply line you have selected.
4. Fasten the 1/4"shutoff valve to the household
supply line with the saddle clamp.Be sure the
outlet solidly in the end is 1/4" drilled hole in the
household supply line and that the washer is
under the saddle clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the saddle
clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer
makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
