Prepare Hot Water Line - GE Monogram ZDT975SIJII Installation Instructions Manual

PREPARE HOT WATER LINE

NOTE: GE recommends copper tubing for the water
line, but if you choose to use flexible hose, use GE's
WX28X326, flexible braided hose.
•
The water supply line (3/8" copper tubing or flexible
braided hose) may enter from either side, rear or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The water supply line may pass through the same
hole as the electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an
additional 1-1/2" diameter hole to accommodate the
water line. If power cord with plug is used, water line
must not pass through power cord hole.

hose with the installation date to use as reference.
Flexible braided hoses, elbows and gaskets should
be replaced in 5 years.

such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly
recommended and may be required by local codes.)

from rear wall.
• Adjust water heater for 120°F to 140°F temperature.
• Flush water line to clean out debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.
