INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are
WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the
amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic
water supply lines are GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002,
WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and
WX08X10025).
When connecting your refrigerator to a GE
Reverse Osmosis Water System, the only
approved installation is with a GE RVKit. For
other reverse osmosis water systems, follow
the manufacturer's recommendations.
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from
a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System
AND the refrigerator also has a water filter,
use the refrigerator's filter bypass plug. Using
the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in
conjunction with the RO filter can result in
hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from
the water dispenser.
This water line installation is not warranted
by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.
Follow these instructions carefully to
minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)
in house plumbing can cause damage to
refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage
or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct
water hammer before installing the water
supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not
hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the O (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a
power drill) during installation, be sure the
device is double insulated or grounded in a
manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with
local plumbing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or GE SmartConnect
Tubing kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect
the refrigerator 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 from the water valve on
the back of the refrigerator to 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'
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.
