Installation Instructions

2INSTALL WATER LINE

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi.

Route 1/4O.D. copper tubing or GE SmartConnecttubing between cold water line and the water connection location.

Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate bend leading into the water line connection.

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

GE SmartConnectrefrigerator tubing kits are available in the following lengths:

2(0.6m) WX08X10002

6(1.8m) WX08X10006

15(4.6m) WX08X10015

25(7.6m) WX08X10025

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to purge all the water from the line.

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

NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection at the top or side to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

Drill a 1/4hole in the water pipe.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. Do not

OVERTIGHTEN.

Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and ferrule is tightened.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnectrefrigerator tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight, and then tighten an additional turn with a wrench.

Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shutoff valve.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR must be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

48, 42 specifications

The GE 42 and GE 48 are two state-of-the-art aircraft engines produced by General Electric, renowned within the aerospace sector for their advanced technologies and high-efficiency performance. These engines, designed primarily for commercial and military aviation, exemplify GE's commitment to innovation in the world of jet propulsion.

One of the distinguishing features of the GE 42 is its high bypass ratio, which allows for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions during operation. This characteristic directly contributes to the engine's environmental efficiency, making it a favorite among airlines looking to minimize their carbon footprint while maximizing fuel economy. The GE 42 is equipped with advanced composite fan blades and fan cases, which contribute to its robust performance while maintaining a lightweight structure.

On the other hand, the GE 48 boasts similar high bypass ratio features but comes with slightly enhanced performance metrics suitable for larger aircraft. The GE 48 utilizes cutting-edge digital technologies, including predictive maintenance systems, enabling real-time monitoring of engine performance. This capability allows operators to make informed decisions about maintenance schedules and operational efficiency.

Both engines employ the latest in additive manufacturing, allowing for complex parts to be produced with a high degree of precision and reduced waste. This not only enhances performance but also lowers production costs, ensuring that GE remains competitive in the market. Additionally, both the GE 42 and GE 48 feature improved aerodynamics, with specially designed turbine blades that optimize airflow, thereby boosting overall efficiency.

The durability of these engines is another notable highlight. They are designed to withstand extreme operational conditions, ensuring reliability whether used for long-haul flights or military missions. Engine life extends through advanced materials that can endure high temperatures and stresses, making them suitable for various applications.

In conclusion, the GE 42 and GE 48 stand out in the aviation industry for their innovative technologies and characteristics. Their high bypass ratios, use of advanced materials, digital monitoring systems, and aerodynamic designs make them exemplary choices for modern aviation needs, catering to both commercial and military sectors while focusing on sustainability and performance. As aviation technology continues to evolve, these engines remain at the forefront, embodying the future of flight.
