WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or GE SmartConnect _" Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator
to the water supply. If using coppe_, be sm'e both ends
of the tubing are cut square.
To detem]ine how much tubing you need: measure
the distance ti'om the water valve on the back of the
refrigerator to the water supI)ly pipe. Then add 8'
(9.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cln]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out froln
the wall alter installation.
GE SmartConnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing Kits are
available in the fi>lh>wing lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - X,_TX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - X,_TX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - X,_TX08X10025
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (9.4 m)
as described above.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmartCmmect _"Refrigerator Tubing
kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line
because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain
types of plastic will crack or rupture with age mad cause
water damage to your home.
