3. Copper Tubing

4. Compression Nut

5. Compression Sleeve

6. Shut-Off Valve

7. Packing Nut

Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be

sure outlet end is solidly in the

¹⁄₄

in. drilled hole in the water

pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten

packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and

evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten

or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled)

copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the

copper tubing.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper

tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely

as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end

with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and

turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is

clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper

tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator:

Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do

not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the

refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.

This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the

refrigerator is pushed back against the wall. Move to step 2.

2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check for leaks.

Tighten any

connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that

leak.
