Installation Instructions

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 OFF position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

WARNING – Connect to potable water supply only.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

•Copper or GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4ļ 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. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

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

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that supplied in GE SmartConnect™ 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.

•A GE 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.

•A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.2 bar) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (2.8–8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

•Power drill.

•1/2ļ or adjustable wrench.

•Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

•Two 1/4ļ outer diameter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves)³WRFRQQHFWWKHFRSSHUWXELQJ to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

OR

•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 5/32ļ 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.

22, 20 specifications

The GE 20,22 series engines represent a significant evolution in aviation technology, embodying advancements that enhance efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability. As part of General Electric's commitment to innovation in aerospace propulsion, these engines are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern commercial aviation while minimizing their environmental footprint.

One of the main features of the GE 20,22 engines is their high bypass ratio, which plays an integral role in achieving improved fuel efficiency. By maximizing the amount of air bypassing the engine core, these engines produce more thrust without a proportional increase in fuel consumption. This characteristic makes them ideal for long-haul operations, effectively reducing operating costs for airlines.

The engines also incorporate advanced materials and manufacturing techniques. The use of lightweight composite materials in fan blades and cases contributes to overall weight reduction, enhancing performance without sacrificing durability. Additionally, the integration of advanced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) in critical components allows for higher operating temperatures, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing emissions.

Technologically, the GE 20,22 series engines are equipped with state-of-the-art digital control systems. These systems provide precise monitoring and adjustments during operation, leading to optimal performance and reduced maintenance requirements. The implementation of real-time data analytics allows for predictive maintenance, enabling operators to anticipate issues before they arise, thereby improving overall reliability.

Noise reduction is another critical characteristic of the GE 20,22 engines. They feature designs and technologies that significantly diminish noise levels during operation, addressing the growing concerns of communities around airports. This commitment to reducing noise, in conjunction with lower emissions, aligns with global efforts to create a more sustainable aviation industry.

Finally, the GE 20,22 engines are compatible with alternative fuels, showcasing General Electric’s forward-thinking approach to sustainability. As the aviation sector moves towards greener solutions, these engines are positioned to use biofuels and synthetic fuels, further decreasing their ecological impact.

In conclusion, the GE 20,22 series engines embody the latest in aerospace technology with their efficiency, reduced emissions, advanced materials, and noise reduction capabilities. Their design not only meets the needs of today’s airlines but also contributes to the industry's path towards a more sustainable future.
