Installation
1PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION 2CONNECTING TO A WATER INLET
□Pick a cold water supply pipe located as close as possible to the appliance.
Close the main water shutoff valve. Open a faucet located near the
installation to relieve pressure in the line.
□Connect one end of the Polyethylene tube (A) to water inlet located
on the back of the refrigerator. First slide the compression tting (C)
(provided) into Polyethylene tubing. Insert one of the small brass tube
stiffeners (D) (provided) into the end of the line pressing it until the are
on the stiffener touches the end of the plastic tubing. NOTE: A brass
stiffener (D) must be placed inside the end of the tube so it can be
attached via compression tting (C) without being crushed and creating
a leak. See 3A or 3B to attach depending on your application.

NOTE: The water valve connection will differ by type of refrigerator. Adapter (E)
may need to be used.
3A POLYETHYLENE TUBE CONNECTION 3B THREADED CONNECTION
□Use 1/4 in. coupling union (F) (provided) to connect the water inlet to the
Polyethylene tubing (A). First slide the compression tting (C) (provided)
into Polyethylene tubing. Insert one of the small brass tube stiffeners
(D) (provided) into the end of the line pressing it until the are on the
stiffener touches the end of the plastic tubing. NOTE: A brass stiffener
(D) must be placed inside the end of the tube so it can be attached
via compression tting (C) without being crushed and creating a leak.
Check to ensure that the tube is completely inserted into the union (F).
Tighten the tting on the union (F) until Polyethylene tubing is secured in
place using adjustable wrench. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
□Coil at least 8 ft. of tubing behind the refrigerator to allow the
refrigerator to be moved away from the wall for cleaning and servicing.
□Run tubing to the cold water supply pipe.

□The top section of the clamp should be attached to the valve. Place the
rubber gasket around the saddle valve piercing pin. The gasket should t
perfectly onto the clamp curve.
□Back up the piercing pin all the way up by turning the saddle valve
handle counterclockwise.

□Attach one side of the bottom clamp to the saddle valve top clamp
with a bolt.
□Place the saddle valve on the cold water pipe. Position the valve so the
handle is accessible. Holding onto the top and bottom parts of the clamp
with one hand, install the second bolt with the other. Hand tighten both
bolts until the clamp rmly touches the pipe. Use a screwdriver for the
nal few turns. When the saddle valve rubber gasket is slightly
compressed, stop turning. Make sure to tighten both clamp bolts
evenly.

6CONNECTING THE SADDLE VALVE (CONTINUED)
□Install 1/4" Polyethylene tubing into compression tting on the saddle valve.
First slide the compression tting (C) (provided) into Polyethylene tubing.
Insert one of the small brass tube stiffeners (D) (provided) into the end
of the line pressing it until the are on the stiffener touches the end of
the plastic tubing. NOTE: A brass stiffener (D) must be placed inside the
end of the tube so it can be attached via compression tting (C) without
being crushed and creating a leak. Check to ensure that the tube is
completely inserted into the saddle valve. Check that tubing is bottomed
in the valve. Tighten the tting onto the saddle valve (B) until
Polyethylene tubing is secured in place using adjustable wrench. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
□Turn the valve handle clockwise. You wil feel some resistance when
penetrating the pipe wall, continue past this moment until the handle
cannot be turned anymore. This is the “closed” position of the saddle
valve.
□Open the main water shutoff valve.
□Open the saddle valve slowly by turning counterclockwise to fully open
position.
□Check for leaks at saddle valve and back of refrigerator.
