- 1). Locate the cold water pipes closest to your refrigerator. If your home has a basement, these pipes are typically located in the basement ceiling.
- 2). Turn off the cold water supply to the pipes.
- 3). Attach a pipe clamp to the cold water pipe.
- 4). Screw a packing nut into the cold water pipe. Turn the packing nut until it punctures and taps into the pipe.
- 5). Attach ¼-inch copper tubing to the outlet valve on the packing nut using a compression nut. Make certain the valve is closed before you secure the packing nut.
- 6). Drill a hole in the floor directly under the refrigerator using an electric drill. Make sure the hole is just a little bit bigger than the diameter of the copper tubing. This hole will go through the sub-floor and into the basement.
- 7). Feed the copper tube through the hole and up to the refrigerator.
- 8). Locate the water connections on the back of your refrigerator.
- 9). Attach the copper tubing to the intake connection using a compression nut.
