Installation Instructions

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

AND UNPLUG REFRIGERATOR

Turn on the nearest faucet (counterclockwise) long

enough to clear the line of water.

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.

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.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with

the pipe clamp.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer

begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the

tubing.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are

illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.

Consult with your licensed plumber.

FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on (counterclockwise) and

flush out the tubing until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after about

one quart (1 liter) of water has been flushed through

the tubing.

CONNECT THE TUBING

TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and

connect it to the shutoff valve.

Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the

valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end

of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten

compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one

additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may

cause leaks.

ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the

refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or

floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet)

as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8

feet [244 cm] coiled into 3 turns of about 10” [25 cm]

diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from

the wall after installation.
