Before connecting the refrigerator’s water line to the house’s main water supply, you need
to familiarize yourself with the house’s plumbing layout.

1.
Decide how best to use the plumbing layout. Then
2.
Tap into the main water line while following these requirements:
- The installer must provide the 1/4-in (6.5 mm) water line and all fittings.
- The water line must be long enough to provide slack to allow the refrigerator to
be moved for floor cleaning and servicing, without the need to first disconnect the
water line.
- All new installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
- The water shutoff should be placed in the base cabinet on either side of the
refrigerator or in some other easily accessible area.
- If the water shut-off valve is placed in the back wall behind the refrigerator, it must
be at an angle so that the water line is not kinked when the refrigerator is pushed
into its final position.
- Make sure the water supply pipe is within the range shown in the 1” illustrations.
- The water hose is positioned within 1/2” from the back wall, and is withdrawn to
the front along the gray-colored area in the figure above. The water hose must be
taped on the floor.
