Connect and install the water line to your Samsung refrigerator

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 line 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.

Note: The RS27T and RS22T models have two water lines to connect, which is not shown here. If they are cross-connected, the water and ice dispensing functions will not work correctly. If you have one of these models and the dispenser has not worked since installation, refer to the user manual to check that these lines are correctly installed.

The water supply line is not included with the refrigerator and is typically sold as a kit at your local hardware store (if you don't have one already installed in your home). We recommend getting a 1/4 inch copper tubing kit, which should include 1/4 inch copper tubing, a 1/4 inch compression nut, and a ferrule.

A plastic tubing kit should include 1/4 inch plastic tubing with a molded end/bulb, and a 1/4 inch compression nut. If you use plastic tubing, do not use it without the molded end/bulb. Please note that a plastic tubing kit is not recommended.

Please refer to the image to see what the connection will look like using either type of tubing. This image is also available in your user manual. The ferrule for copper tubing, the molded end/bulb for plastic tubing, and the 1/4  inch compression nut for both tubing options will be provided in the purchased kit.
