    1/2" Copper to 1/4" Plastic Tubing

    If it was just a standard icemaker hookup all-copper would be fine. Plumbing the whole output side of my filter system with copper tube would be expensive and a pain. The filtered water is going multiple places. Also, copper is inappropriate for Reverse Osmosis water because RO water can be...

    1/2" Copper to 1/4" Plastic Tubing

    Have you ever had any leaks with this approach? I'm leaning towards using it on my icemaker.

    1/2" Copper to 1/4" Plastic Tubing

    It's definitely the supply line. The refrigerator is old. It made fine ice before the supply line was changed. I was very disappointed upon install. We ran the icemaker constantly for two weeks before the cubes were usable. We dumped out ice by the bushel. Even now I can still detect the...

    1/2" Copper to 1/4" Plastic Tubing

    Haven't found 1/2" sweat to 1/4" compression angle stops locally yet. Everything seems to be push-on or compression on the input side. It seems like "they" don't want DIY's sweating angle stops anymore. I have found 1/2" compression to 1/4" compression but I have zero experience with 1/2"...

    1/2" Copper to 1/4" Plastic Tubing

    Correct. This is not a Reverse Osmosis unit. This is only a filter. There is no RO membrane. No drain line is needed. Option #4 seems like a good one but I haven't found a 1/4" output angle stop locally. I like options #2 and #3 best but I'm not having much luck finding sweat to...

    Filter Housing Help

    I'm going to be installing a point of use water filter system and I need to choose filter housings. I'll be using three 10" slimlines. I've read that the pro water filtration guys have been seeing cracked housings lately. That has me worried. I have a bunch of random questions relating to...

    1/2" Copper to 1/4" Plastic Tubing

    Great suggestion! That's a clever way to skirt the "no plastic to fridge" problem. It gives me another option for my other compression-to-plastic transitions too.

    1/2" Copper to 1/4" Plastic Tubing

    I'm planning to install a "point of use" water filter system. It's the kind that's normally mounted under the kitchen sink. The filter unit accepts 1/4" LLDPE plastic tubing. It's similar to the stuff that's often used to supply refrigerator icemakers, but slightly superior. (If anyone can...
