American Style Fridge/Freezer

[Normie]

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting one of those American style fridge freezers. Can anyone advise as to the best location for the water supply. Should I get the supply fitted directly behind the fridge or to the side (with access through the back of my larder unit)? Also, is there any kind of special fitting that's needed at the end of the supply pipe? Any other pitfalls that I should look out for?

Cheers, Lucy

Can go behind it but depends on whether the filter is inline with the supply or inside the fridge\freezer. Most are internal, but if it's external; sticking it the cupboard next to it saves dragging the ff out to change the filter every now and again.

All you need on the supply pipe is a washing machine tap to connect to.

Hi

I'd have it fitted to the side - on our fridge freezer, there is no clearance at all behind it for a tap.

Ours came with adaptors for both 3/4" and 1/2" taps.
