Total Time: 30 mins Skill Level: Beginner Running a water line to a refrigerator to supply its ice maker and drinking water dispenser has never been easier.

What You'll Need

This type of fitting is easy to install and is less prone to leaking than a saddle valve. In most cases, the water line can be run from a kitchen faucet water supply line through the kitchen cabinets and over to the refrigerator. If running the line through the cabinets is not feasible, you might need to run it through the floor and up to where the refrigerator is located.

Tip Before you get started, check behind your fridge to make sure there is no water line and shutoff valve already there—either extending out of the wall or sticking up through the floor. An Add-A-Tee adapter is an ideal plumbing fitting for this purpose.

It simply threads onto the outlet of a standard fixture shutoff valve, like the one you have under the kitchen sink. Measure the distance carefully, and buy a supply tube with plenty of length for the job. Flex water supply tubes are available in either a tough plastic nylon mesh or braided steel. Although braided steel is considerably more expensive, the extra strength it provides is well worth the investment. Water leaks can cause significant and very costly damage, so buy the best-quality water supply tube you can.

Choose the correct size of adapter for your water shutoff valve and faucet supply tube. Aaron Stickley.]
