Then add 8'(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra robing (about8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm]diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out fromthe wall after installation.GE SmartConnecff v Refrigerator Tubing Kits areavailable in the fbllowing lengths:2' (.6 m) -WX08X100026' (1.8 111) -WX08Xl000615' (4.6 m) -WX08X1001525' (7.6 111) - WX08X10025Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (2.4 m)as described above.NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is thatsupplied in GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubingkits.
