be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnect
™
plastic tubing between house cold water line
and the water connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front
of the unit. Allow enough tubing to accommodate bend
leading into the water line connection.
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
