How to connect a Refrigerator to a sink water line (DIY)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2020
- Here I am working at an office. We didn’t want to turn off the water to the building because we didn’t know where it was and could get ahold of the landlord. So in this hook up I tried to keep it inline with a valve in an easy access position. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PLUMBER by no means but the owner of the business trust me and I know enough to DIY this set up. Any question comments or ways to do it better please feel free to comment!

Cool. Finally a video that isn't cutting into pipe or using those super jenky pipe stabbing clamps that mess up your pipes. I live in a townhouse/apt so there is no water line. I will probably do the same drilling into cupboards to keep it as discrete as possible. Will be so nice to have our ice maker working this summer.
Nice !! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more of your DIY projects. Good stuff.
The knows his stuff good job bro.😅
"Luck doesn't exist,wish me favor"🙌🙌
Thanks! No such thing ! Lol
That line stood out to me as well. 😇
Thank you so much, you are a pocket book saver.
Thanks a lot it was so easily explained and captured.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video, definitely going to try this out! It’d be nice to have all the tools and items purchased in the description box to make it easier for your viewers but I’ll just go through the video when I purchase haha
Thats a great idea! I'll do that! thanks!
2 yrs later: still waiting for description update 😂@@destinywood9059
Awesome! When my new refrigerator comes in I will try to add water to it, sadly my old house doesn’t have water going to the fridge and the fridge I have is a normal fridge.
Awesome 👏
This is neat! any chance you or anyone else have the names of the parts you use?
Good job bro!! Respect your resilience through the whole process. Got a little dizzy while watching though 🌀
Thank you! I’ll work on those angles! Appreciate the love
Dude … thanks lol . I’m drilling holes through the bottom cabinets but my kitchen is about just set up like yours lmao . Running tubing through left side of cabinet and out the other end into fridge lol . Thanks for the guidance .
Of course! Glad to be of assistance!
@@destinywood9059 So the water line installation kit I bought won’t the connector that comes with it that you connect to the waterline that’s already coming out of the fridge it won’t fit it so now I don’t know what to do
@@SantanaSam12 you possible need to buy the parts individually. Can you email me a photo? D3stinymartin3z@gmail.com I can see how I can help!
Can you please reply with the items that were purchased for this DIY I need to do this as well for my refrigerator
Im so glad we can’t do male to male
Oh bro that hurt me too 😂
so many other ways that valve you used is meant for gas btw. i hope you didn’t have any leaks
Thank you for the video, I’ll be doing this too
I been looking for a video like this everyone i had seen are plastic tube. One question you have a silver valve and the yellow you turn both on and leave them one at all times. Thank you
Hello! Yes I leave them both on. the yellow valve is strictly for the Refrigerator, incase that they'd like to move the fridge the can shut of the water supply solely to that line. thanks!
@@destinywood9059 thank you so much .
@@zulmarosario1346 of course!
Bro what sizes did you use for all this attachments??
I think they were 1/2 inch. But yours may vary. Good tip is by 2 or 3 different sizes then return the ones that didn’t fit.
Only thing I’d do differently it not give the fridge so much water pressure
You forgot to put the feral on before the brass fitting then tighten to main valve. Your going to catch a leak eventually .
I believe I did, what time stamp are you referring to? Also its been a year and no leaks!
I think home depot was a pain in the arse other than that good video thank you
I agree!
every fitting used was the incorrect type, just waiting for a flood to happen. Thats why you had so many issues with leaks.
2 years and no flood!
It actually was not the wrong fitting … can you see ?
Besides using dissimilar metals, they make a fitting that has an outlet for the sink supply, and a 1/4” outlet for the refrigerator water line supply. Also, most plumbers will recommend to never use the plastic line, always go for copper. Many leaks and broken lines are due to the degradation of the plastic over time, making it brittle and prone to breakage.
What the fuck is a gas shut off valved installed as inline water valve. Eek .. ok
This job looks to be too involved for me
It does take some figuring out but if you have some know how and determination I believe it is possible!
@@destinywood9059 honestly, it was easier than I thought.
Helpful video, but holy crap learn to edit you’re videos a bit! Lol
Dang guy you shouldn't be doing how to videos guy
Why not?
