INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (cont.)

Installation Instructions

• Two 1/4” outer diameter compression nuts and 2

ferrules (sleeves)³WRFRQQHFWWKHFRSSHUWXELQJWR

the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator

Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled

to the tubing.

• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting

at the end, you will need an adapter (available at

plumbing supply stores) to connect the water

line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the

flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a

compression fitting. Do not cut formed end from

GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator tubing.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a

minimum inside diameter of 5/32” at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoff valves are included in many water supply

kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type

valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear

the line of water.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

Choose a location for the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a

vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect

into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection

to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to

avoid drawing off any sediment from the water

pipe.

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using

a self-piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove

any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the

pipe. Take care not to allow water to drain into

the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in

reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with

the pipe clamp.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves

are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.

Consult with your licensed plumber.
