WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or GE SmartCmmect'" Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refi'igerator
to the water supply, If using copper, be sure both ends
of the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need: Measure
the distance ti'om the water valve on the back of the
reti'igerator t(> the water supply pipe. Then add 8'
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 _' [25 cin]
diameter) to allow the refi'igerator to move otlt froill
the wall aiier installation.
GE Sxnart(;onnect ''_Refl'igerator Tubing Kits are
available ix] the fi>llowing lengths:
2' (.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - X,_X08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - X,_X08X10015
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 GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmartConnect '_'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 and cause
water damage to your home.
