CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (cont.)
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing coming from the house cold
water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect
™
tubing, the nuts are already assembled to the
tubing.
If you are using copper tubing, insert the end
of the tubing into the refrigerator connection,
at the back of the refrigerator, as far as
possible. While holding the tubing, tighten
the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect
™
tubing,
insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection, at the back of the
refrigerator, 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 to
hold it in position. You may need to pry open
the clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the
connection on your refrigerator.
