2 INSTALL WATER LINE

• A cold water supply is required for automatic

icemaker operation. The water pressure must

be between 40 and 120 psi.

• Route 1/4” O.D. copper tubing or GE

SmartConnect

™

tubing between cold water

line and the water connection location.

• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the

front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to

accommodate bend leading into the water line

connection.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is

supplied in the GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator

Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water

supply line; the line is under pressure at all times.

Certain types of plastic may crack or rupture with

age and cause water damage to your home.

GE SmartConnect

™

refrigerator tubing kits are

available in the following lengths:

2 (0.6m) WX08X10002

6 (1.8m) WX08X10006

15 (4.6m) WX08X10015

25 (7.6m) WX08X10025

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough

to purge all the water from the line.

• Install a shutoff valve between the icemaker

water valve and cold water pipe in a basement

or cabinet. The shutoff valve should be located

where it will be easily accessible.

NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical

water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal

water pipe, make the connection at the top

or side to avoid drawing off any sediment

from the water pipe.

• Drill a 1/4” hole in the water pipe.

• Fasten the shutoff valve to the pipe with pipe

clamp.

• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing

washer begins to swell. Do not OVERTIGHTEN.

• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for

copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and

connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the

tubing is fully inserted into the valve and ferrule

is tightened.

• For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

™

refrigerator tubing kit, insert the molded end of

the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten the

compression nut until it is hand tight, and then

tighten an additional turn with a wrench.

• Turn on the main water supply and

flush debris. Run about a quart of water

through the tubing into a bucket. Shut

off water supply at the shutoff valve.

NOTE: Saddle type shutoff valves are included in

many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make

sure a saddle type valve complies with your local

plumbing codes.
