Step
When connecting a GE Reverse
Osmosis Water System to your
refrigerator, the only approved
Install
installation is with a GE RVKIT.
Water
If the water supply to the refrigera-
tor is from a Reverse Osmosis Water
Line
System 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 the
RO filter can result in hollow ice
cubes and slower water flow from the
water dispenser.
If you use the bypass Plug and want a light shield without
the filter opening, order a replacement solid light shield:
For 36" Models Order WR17X3025
For 42" Models Order WR02X8967
For 48" Models Order WR17X3433
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure
must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between
house cold water line and the water connec-
tion location.
• Copper tubing should be long enough to
extend to the front of the refrigerator. Allow
enough to accommodate bend leading into
the water valve.
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to
clear the line of water.
Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker
water valve and cold water pipe in a basement
or cabinet. The shut-off valve should be
located where it will be easily accessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a
vertical water pipe. If you install the valve into
a horizontal water pipe, make the connection
at 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.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with
pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing
washer begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing and connect it to
the shut-off valve. Make sure the tubing is
fully inserted into the valve and ferrule is
tightened.

• Turn on the main water supply and flush
debris from the line. Run about a quart of
water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut
off water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are in-
cluded in many water supply kits. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.
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.
