using existing 3/8" flex copper line for fridge ice/water

Nov 22, 2007 3 Replies

When I renovated my kitchen, I left the existing icemaker water line in place. It is a 3/8" flex copper line. The old fridge had a 3/8" compression connection. I've noticed that the newer fridges use a



1/4" line. I figured I could still use the existing line, just put in a 3/8"-1/4" adapter. Any issues with using a 3/8" line?

I installed a 3/8" flex copper line to supply my kitchen sink and fridge with filtered water. It then divides into two 1/4 tubes after a shut off valve.
