WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
NOTE: The only GE approved
plastic tubing
is that
supplied
in GE SmartConnect
TM
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.
• AGE
water
supply
kit
(containing
tubing,
shutoff
valve
and fittings
listed
below)
is
available
at extra cost from
your
dealer
or
from
Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002
(in Canada
1.888.261.3055).
• A cold water
supply.
The water
pressure
must
be between
20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1
bar).
• Power
drill.
,, 1/2" or adjustabJe
wrench.
= Straight
and Phillips blade
screwdriver.
,, Two 114" outer
diameter
compression
nuts
and 2 ferrules
(sleeves)--to
connect
the
copper
tubing
to the shutoff
valve
and the
refrigerator
water
valve.
OR
If you are using
a GE SmartConnect
TM
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
TM
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.
Install
the shutoff
valve
on the nearest
frequently
used drinking
water
line.
[]
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest
faucet
long enough
to clear the line of water.
[]
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
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.
[]
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
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.
