• Get the line providing your kitchen and cut right out an element of the pipe not any longer than 2 inches.
• Deburr both ends associated with cut right out part and mark them when it comes to proper depth.
• Slip the end of a Service Slip Tee Adapter in terms of it will probably go.
• Making use of Disconnect Tongs in the slide end, slide the Service Slip Tee Adapter onto the adjoining little bit of copper until it clicks and reaches the level mark that you have made

2. Substitute the saddle valve that is existing.

• Get the line providing your kitchen and cut right out the area which includes the drilled little bit of pipeline linking the saddle that is existing; make sure the cut part is no more than 2 ins
• Deburr both ends associated with cut fully out part and mark them for the proper depth.
• Slip the final end of the Service Slip Tee Adapter so far as it’s geting to go.
• Making use of Disconnect Tongs from the slide end, slide the Service Slip Tee Adapter on the adjoining little bit of copper until it clicks and reaches the level mark that you made

3. Install the ice maker line that is new.

Now that you’ve added a tee adapter to your supply line, all that is left is always to run water line towards the refrigerator ice manufacturer or other appliance. To accomplish this:

• Slip a Supply Stop on the ongoing Service Slip Tee Adapter.
• Link a supply line towards the Supply avoid; this might add a push-to-connect PEX line that you just push in to the end in to the needed depth or a Flex Hose that threads onto the end.
• Link the supply that is new to the connection regarding the straight straight back for the ice box or appliance.
