• Two 1/4" outer diameter
compression nuts
and 2 ferrules
(sleeves)-to
connect the copper

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve that is easilg
accessible.
It is best to connect into the side
of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessarg
to connect
into a horizontal
water pipe, make
the connection
to the top or side, rather than at
the bottom, to avoid drawing
off ang sediment
from the water pipe.
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using
a self-piercing
valve), using a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in
the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the
drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4" hole mag result in reduced
ice production
or smaller cubes.
