Waterline Tubing

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied in the GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the line is under pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:

2′ (.6 m) WX08X10002

6′ (1.8 m) WX08X10006

15′ (4.6 m) WX08X10015

25′ (7.6 m) WX08X10025

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

•Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-off valve should be located where it will be easily accessible.

•Turn on the main water supply and flush debris from the line. Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off water at the shut-off valve.

NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many water supply kits, but are not recommended for this application.

•Install optional water filter in the water line near the refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas where water supply contains sand or particles.

Installation instructions are packed with the filter.

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.
