Installation Instructions

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 (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 adjustable wrench.

•Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

•Two 1/4 ″ 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™ 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.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

1SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

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

2CHOOSE 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.

3DRILL 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.

The GE 25, officially known as the General Electric 25 (GE 25), is a revolutionary advanced gas turbine designed to enhance the efficiency and productivity of power generation. This cutting-edge turbine is engineered with an eye towards meeting the evolving demands of the energy market while ensuring environmental sustainability.

One of the primary features of the GE 25 is its highly efficient combustion process. Utilizing advanced combustion technology, the turbine achieves lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) while maintaining a high power output. The GE 25 is designed for use in both simple cycle and combined cycle power plants, making it a versatile choice for various energy generation applications. The turbine's ability to transition seamlessly between these cycles allows operators to optimize energy production based on demand.

The GE 25 is built with advanced materials that enhance durability and performance. The components are constructed from high-temperature alloys that withstand extreme operating conditions, thus ensuring longevity and lower maintenance costs. This durability is crucial as it minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity in power generation facilities.

Innovative technologies incorporated into the GE 25 include advanced aerodynamics and an intelligent control system. The turbine features an optimized blade design that improves airflow efficiency and reduces drag, resulting in higher overall performance. Additionally, the intelligent control system offers real-time monitoring and analysis, enabling predictive maintenance and ensuring that the turbine operates at peak efficiency.

The turbine's modular design simplifies installation and maintenance processes. This allows for faster commissioning times and enhances operational flexibility, making it a preferred choice for both new installations and retrofitting older plants. The GE 25 is also compatible with a wide range of fuel types, including natural gas, biogas, and even hydrogen blends, which aligns with the industry's shift towards more sustainable energy sources.

In summary, the GE 25 stands out as a powerhouse in the gas turbine industry, with its cutting-edge features, advanced technologies, and robust characteristics. By prioritizing efficiency, durability, and flexibility, the GE 25 meets the current and future energy needs while contributing to a greener planet. As the demand for reliable and sustainable energy sources continues to grow, the GE 25 will play a vital role in shaping the future of power generation.
