I've been working with piping and plumbing for over 30 years. I watched this video as a refresher for piping up a fridge. It was superb!!! You provide important detail on ferrules and explain why one approach may be better. It's one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen, of any kind. Bravo brother!

Excellent 👌👌👌👍👍👍. Every time I buy these kids they come with the copper crush sleeves instead of plastic which makes a lot of sense because it does cut through the plastic tubing rather it has a inserted backup anti crush sleeve in the tube and or not they are very prone to leaking right at the pinched joint. I did not know that the plastic couplers/mushrooms are available until I saw this video. "Good job this was a good JUAN"

Very well produced and edited video. Clear and concise. I might double valve my install since I'm coming off my main in the basement and run copper thru the floor and another valve on the floor behind the refrigerator then to plastic. Also, anywhere I'm running a waterline around wood, I dab some Terminate (Copper naphthenate) on the wood and thru the drilled hole just in case of a leak to help keep dry-rot from starting.

Repair for me - puddle on the kitchen floor. This video is very clear, gave several options (yes!). Well done. Frozen shutoff valve to the refrigerator water line forced me to switch to plastic on the outlet side of the filter, which then allowed me to clamp the line instead of shutting the main water valve off. It was split at the ferrule where the water line from the back connects to the one going up the door.

@Liana... A braided stainless steel line is only stainless steel on the outside! It's still a plastic line on the inside!! If you stand by your statement of never using a plastic line...you're basically telling people to use a copper line which can be even more problematic by kinking and/or corroding.

@lianalonge1984 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheKiltedKrautof course. But as it states: “These hoses are rubber inside the stainless mesh, and will last for 3-5 years. Braided hose provides better heat dissipation and better flow, which is important when choosing performance car parts. Additionally, braided lines are able to withstand more pressure than rubber lines.” The point that I was trying to make is that the steel braided hose is more resilient. I’d just had my ice maker installed (less than a year) when the pin hole size damage occurred. That’s all.

@Tuxedo2680 2 жыл бұрын

One thing to note is that the 1/4" plastic tubing you use in the video is NOT PEX, it is regular HDPE. There's quite a difference. As I recently learned at my expense is that actual 1/4" PEX water line (for ex. Waterline Products Ltd. 1/4" PEX B tubing) has thicker walls and is much more rigid than regular polyethylene. The consequence is that if you want to use 1/4" compression fittings, the brass inserts do not fit inside the tubing . So you are left with 2 choices: don't use the inserts, only the plastic ferrule OR use push-fit fittings. Since I have already installed my valve and cut the tubing (therefore can't get a refund for those), I decided to take a chance and install the compression fittings without the insert. The walls of the PEX tubing are VERY rigid, probably as rigid as copper so I'm cautiously confident. I will be checking on those joints every hour after I install them for a whole day to make 100% sure everything is ok.

Always worked with copper now in the country and have plastic flexable pipes. You made me a little more confident trying it.

There are no better plumbing videos out there than yours. VERY well explained, great information, super camera work, and you list everything you used. I love when you show valves and pipes cut down the middle to show what goes on in the inside. You are a true professional and as I said before your videos are surely the best. Thank you sir!!

Flush the water line AND discard the first round of ice

@Bck2004 5 жыл бұрын

That should have been mentioned in the video. Hopefully people will see your comment and remember to discard the first batch of ice. The video was great except for this omission about the first ice made.

This was a video on "How To Connect A Water Line To Your Refrigerator", not on fridge use and operation. This video was perfect!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm not sure how much money you saved me by helping me do this myself, but I'm sure it was a lot more than what I spent at Home Depot on tools and parts. Again, THANK YOU! 👍👍👍

I install all these methods all the time. I do install close to the same number of each but the saddle is the one most installed and it is the least problematic. I rarely have a return call on a saddle only 3 in the last 10 years with 628 installed in the 10 years this is all 100% accurate numbers from my computer billing system that keeps up with this type of stuff. The saddle is a very good product snd highly recommended.

All of your videos are superb, thank you! You should make a video on how to connect a 1/4" copper supply line to a Bosch B36CD50SNS which has a 6mm metric fitting. Lots of hits on the forums for this problem.

Great explanation. I'd recommend braided over simply unbraided PVC. We had a small leak after years of use in the middle of the plastic PVC not at one of the fittings. No known reason.
