Installation Instructions
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE
SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit,
the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
On models using the refrigeration connection at
the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator,
be sure the refrigerator power cord is not
plugged into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter,
we recommend installing one if your water supply
has sand or particles that could clog the screen
of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the
water line near the refrigerator. If using
GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit,
you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)
to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to
install filter.
Some models have the refrigerator connection at
the end of tubing located outside the compressor
compartment access cover. On other models, the
compressor compartment access cover must be
removed in order to access the refrigerator
connection at the water valve.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve
connection as far as possible. While holding the
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 as
shown to keep it in position. You may need to pry
open the clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the
connection on your refrigerator.
