INSTALLATION
(requires additional part)
1. Turn off the cold water supply.
2. Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting
on the cold water pipe to adapt 1/4” OD tubing.
A typical connection is shown in illustration
below. Make sure a water supply valve is used.
3. If the RO unit is to be installed more than 6
feet from the valve, replace the yellow banded
inlet tubing with a longer length of GE 1/4”
tubing. A 33-foot length of 1/4” tubing is
available through GE Parts and Services at
1.800.626.2002, part number WS07X10018.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE TUBING OF UNKNOWN
QUALITY.
4. If the RO unit is to be installed more than
6 feet from the faucet, replace the blue banded
outlet tubing with a longer length of GE 3/8”
tubing. A 33-foot length is available through
GE Parts and Services at 1.800.626.2002,
part number WS07X10019. See Installing
the Faucet on page 14 for more details.

If you are using copper tubing, DO NOT connect
it directly onto the RO unit. Purchase a connector
and use a short length of the yellow banded tubing
provided to make final connection to RO. Do not use
copper tubing to attach to icemaker or faucet.
