4
Water
5
Make sure the cold water supply valve is shut off.
6
Use a quarter-inch drill bit to drill an access hole through the front of the nearest cold water supply pipe.
7
File down any rough edges.
8
Now thread the shut-off valve into the front pipe bracket and tighten by hand.
9
Use a wrench to turn the valve an additional 1/8th turn to fully secure.
10
Slide the rubber seal gasket over the shut-off valve?s pilot tube.
11
Insert the pilot tube into the hole in the water pipe, position the rear pipe bracket and then insert the screws through the brackets and thread on the mounting nuts.
12
Avoid over-tightening the nuts.
13
After ensuring the end of the copper tubing is cut evenly and cleanly, slide on a compression nut and a compression sleeve.
14
Now fully insert the tubing into the outlet connecter on the shut-off valve.
15
Thread and hand-tighten the compression nut.
16
Use a wrench to tighten the nut one additional turn.
17
Make sure the opposite end of the tubing is cut evenly and cleanly.
18
Turn the cold water supply valve back on.
19
Water
20
Rotate the t-handle on the shut-off valve counter-clockwise to fully open and flush out the copper tubing.
21
After a few seconds, shut off the valve and clear the tubing of water.
22
Slide a strain relief clamp over the copper tubing.
23
Now slide on the compression nut and the compression sleeve.
24
Remove the protective cap from the inlet fitting on the water inlet valve.
25
Now fully insert the tubing into the fitting.
26
Thread and hand-tighten the compression nut, then use a wrench to tighten the nut one additional turn.
27
Open the shut-off valve again and check both the shut-off valve and the water inlet valve for leakage.
28
If any leaks appear, you can tighten the compression nut in small increments until the leakage stops.
29
If applicable, align the strain relief clamp for the copper tubing and secure it with the appropriate rear panel screw.
30
The excess copper tubing should be looped allowing it to easily fold and unfold so the refrigerator can be moved without straining the connections.
