How to install the refrigerator water supply line?

- Water line installation should only be performed by a qualified technician.

- Samsung is not responsible for water pipe installation. In case of water leakage, contact the water pipe installer.
Install a new refrigerator water supply line
If your home doesn't have a water line installed from a previous refrigerator, you will need a water line that can run between the water pipes in your home and your fridge. Water lines are typically sold in kits and are not included with the refrigerator. We recommend using a water installation kit that uses 1/4 inch copper tubing, a 1/4 inch compression nut, and a ferrule. Keep in mind that you will need a compression nut at both ends, and some kits only come with one.
This procedure will vary depending on the type of equipment you are using, so follow the kit's instructions. You can also use our instructional video and steps if you're unsure.
- In most installations, the fundamentals include attaching a shut off valve (C) to your cold water line (A) using a pipe clamp (B). Please refer to the first image for this step.
- Then, you'll need to twist the valve until it pierces your water line.
- After that, you'll need to connect the rest of the water line installation kit (D) to the shut off valve (C). Please refer to the second image for this step.
