Cut Tubing
3. Shut off water supply.
4. The filter is to be inserted (spliced) into the 1/4" OD supply
tube that feeds water to the refrigerator. (Do not cut any water
lines internal to the refrigerator.) Locate the filter as close as
possible to the supply water shut-off valve. If the filter needs to
be located behind the refrigerator, there needs to be at least 6
inches of clearance. If the appliance must be moved, make sure
there is proper protection on the floor.
5. Cut the tubing, making sure the ends are square and no burrs
protrude. Deburr ends with file or sandpaper if necessary.
Attach Fittings to Tubing
6. Slip brass nuts then ferrules over both tubing ends, leaving
1/4" of tubing exposed from end. (See figure for ferrule
orientation). If your tubing is plastic, place brass inserts
into ends of tubing.
