the back of the refrigerator

or against the wall. Push the

refrigerator back to the wall.

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE

Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts are

already assembled to the tubing.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve

tubing, tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the

tubing into the refrigerator connection and tighten

compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten

one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening

may cause leaks.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it

in a vertical position. You may need to pry open the

clamp.
