Recommended coi)per water supply kits are _4UX8X2,
_4UXSX3 or _4UXSX4, depending on the amount of
tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines
are refrigerator tubing kits _X08X10002,
WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and _,\SX08X10025.
When connecting your refl'igerator to a reverse

_'_ter hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
phunbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
phunber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refl'igerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If vou use vour reli'igerator betore connecting the

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or approved plastic refrigerator tubing kit,
1/4" outer diameter to connect the refi'igerator to
the water suppl> If using copper, be sure both ends
of the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need: measure
the distance from the water valve on the back of the
refi'igerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'
(2.4 m). Be sm'e there is sufficient extra tubing
(about 8' [2A m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refi'igerator to move
()tit fi'om the wall Mter installation.
Approved plastic refrigerator tubing kits are a_:dlable
in the fi)llowing lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) -WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (2.4 m)
as described above.
NOTE: The only approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in the refrigerator tubing kits listed above,
Do not use amy other plastic water supply line because
the line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of
plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause water
damage to your home.
