Installation Instructions
13
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing as shown. On a GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts
are already assembled to the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing,
tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the
tubing into the refrigerator connection and tighten the
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one
additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may
cause leaks.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided as shown to
keep it in position. You may need to pry open the
clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the
connection on your refrigerator.
On models using the refrigeration connection at the
water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.
