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

WS07X10019. See Faucet Mounting Installation
on page 13 for more details. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE

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.
