6ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8′ [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 ″ [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

7CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the 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. Tighten the compression nut securely.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression nut until it is hand-tight; then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
