Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (cont.)
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing
is that supplied in GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator
Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water
supply line because the line is under pressure at all
times. Certain types of plastic will crack or rupture
with age and cause water damage to your home.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with
a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. 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.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear
the line of water.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1
Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side
of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary
to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make
the connection to the top or side, rather than at
the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment
from the water pipe.
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
2
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
3
Drill a 1/4 hole in the water pipe (even if using
a self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in
the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into
the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4 hole may result in reduced
ice production or smaller cubes.
