CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause 
death or severe personal injury, disconnect 
the refrigerator from electrical power before 
connecting a water supply line to the 
refrigerator.
NOTE
Check with your local building authority 
for recommendations on water lines and 
associated materials prior to installing your 
new refrigerator. Depending on your local/
state building codes, Frigidaire recommends 
for homes with existing valves its Smart 
Choice
®
 water line kit 5305513409 (with 
a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for 
homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire 
recommends its Smart Choice
®
 water line kit 
5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water Line 
with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to 
www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
•  Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing 
is recommended for the water supply line. 
Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch plastic 
is not recommended to be used. Plastic 
tubing greatly increases the potential for 
water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be 
responsible for any damage if plastic tubing 
is used for the supply line.
•  DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas 
where temperatures fall below freezing.
•  Chemicals from a malfunctioning water 
softener can damage the ice maker. If your 
home has a water softening system, ensure 
the softener is maintained and working 
properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections 
comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply 
Line, You Will Need:
•  Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
 screwdriver
•  Access to a household cold water line with 
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
•  A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) 
OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To 
determine the length of tubing needed, 
measure the distance from the ice maker 
inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to 
your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 
7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be 
moved out for cleaning (as shown).
•  A shutoff valve to connect the water supply 
line to your household water system. DO NOT 
use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
•  Do not re-use compression fitting or use
thread seal tape.
•  A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for 
connecting a copper water supply line to the 
ice maker inlet valve.
