The icemaker hookup on my fridge is leaking from pulling it in out of the cabinet space one too many times to retrieve kids stuff. It is a factory copper assembly consisting of a hose bibb on the fridge side that goes to 1/4" copper. Then it goes to a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter which then connects to my 3/8" copper line. The 3/8 copper line is fine. Its the connector piece on the fridge thats leaking. Rather than get a replacement part from the appliance store, cant I just get one of those stainless steel braided supply lines that i can connect directly to the female hose bibb on the fridge to the 3/8 copper line? Fluidmaster makes a supply line specifically for icemakers up to 10 feet. It would be a lot more flexible and easier to push the fridge against the wall, something that was difficult to do in the past.
