1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the 

copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and 
sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not 
overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on 
copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks 

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to 
refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp. 

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. 

Correct any leaks.

the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper 
tubing. 

2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a 

compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing. 

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet 

port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight 
into the port to avoid kinks.

4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into the 

water valve inlet port.  

5. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water 

line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn 
the compression nut on the copper tubing counterclockwise 
to completely tighten. Do not overtighten.
