Installation Instructions
D. OPTIONAL REMOTE LOCATION INSTALLATION
(requires additional part)
1.Turn off the cold water supply.
2.Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the cold water pipe to adapt 1/4″ OD tubing. A typical connection is shown in illustration below. Make sure a water supply valve is used.
3.If the RO unit is to be installed more than 6 feet from the valve, replace the yellow
banded inlet tubing with a longer length of GE 1/4″ tubing. A 33 foot length of 1/4″ tubing is available through GE Parts and Services at 1.800.626.2002, part number WS07X10018. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE
TUBING OF UNKNOWN QUALITY.
4.If the RO unit is to be installed more than 6 feet from the faucet, replace the blue
banded outlet tubing with a longer length of GE 3/8″ tubing. A 33 foot length is available through GE Parts and Services at 1.800.626.2002, part number WS07X10019. See Faucet Installation on page 13 for more details. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE TUBING OF
