Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE
SmartConnect
™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts
are already assembled to the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the water
valve connection as far as possible. While holding
the tubing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end
of the tubing into the refrigerator connection
and tighten 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 a vertical position. You may need to pry open
