How it works
Find and tap the source
We locate the closest cold supply line — typically under the kitchen sink — and install a compression tee or push-fit adapter to draw from it cleanly.
Run the line
We route the supply tubing through the cabinet or along the baseboard to the fridge location, keeping it protected from kinks.
Connect and test
We connect to the refrigerator's inlet valve, restore water pressure, and watch the ice maker go through its first fill to confirm there are no leaks.
We can help
Problems we fix
- Saddle valve connections that corrode and leak months after installation
- Water line kinked behind the refrigerator when it was pushed back into place
- Ice maker that makes hollow or discolored cubes due to a partially blocked line
- Supply line run too short, pulling taut when the fridge needs to roll out for service
Good to know
Refrigerator Water Line Hookup — FAQ
What type of tubing do you use?
We prefer braided stainless or copper over the soft plastic tubing that often comes packaged with refrigerators. The plastic is functional but more prone to kinking and cracking over time.
How close does the water source need to be?
We can run a line up to 10–15 feet easily without pressure issues. Longer runs may need a larger-diameter line — we'll confirm during the visit.
Will you install a shut-off valve on the refrigerator line?
Yes. We always include an accessible shutoff on the refrigerator supply line so you can disconnect the fridge without shutting off the kitchen sink.
