• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools required
• Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4-inch saddle-type shut-off valve,

complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-inch
saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
