What is the best way to connect a refrigerator to water?
By Appliance Expert Blog | October 04, 2014 at 10:30 PM EDT | No Comments

Many customers use plastic tubing to supply water to a refrigerator. Plastic does break over time and is not the best for refrigerator water supply. Copper, on the hand, is a tried and true product, and should be used all the way from a water supply to the refrigerator unit. Alternatively, copper can transition to a braided metal supply line (sort of like a thin garden hose) for the final stretch. And while we are on the subject, have you considered what you would do if you needed to turn off the water to the refrigerator in case of a leak? Is the faucet accessible? If your refrigerator is heavy and the faucet is behind it, you won't be able to get to it quickly. It is best to locate a faucet under the sink so that you can access it without moving the refrigerator.
