STEP 10 INSTALL WATER LINE
Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3
or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing you need.
Approved plastic water supply lines are GE SmartConnect™
Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and
WX08X10025).
When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse Osmosis
Water System, the only approved installation is with a GE
RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water systems, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse
Osmosis Water Filtration System (RO)AND the refrigerator
also has a water filter, use the refrigerator’s filter bypass
plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge in
conjunction with an RO water filter can result in hollow ice
cubes.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or ice maker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber
to correct water hammer before installing the water
supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up
the water line to the hot water line.
Do not install the ice maker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)
during installation, be sure the device is double insulated
or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.

outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the
water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the
tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need:
measure the distance from the water valve on the back of
the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Be sure there is
sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation.
