Question: How do I tap my refrigerator water line?

How do you tap into an existing water line?

To tap into existing copper lines, shut off the water. With a tubing cutter cut an opening in each pipe that is about an inch shorter than a tee fitting. Dry-fit the tees. If the pipes are rigidly installed, remove a clamp or two so you can pull the pieces apart slightly.

Where is the refrigerator water valve located?

The shut-off valve is usually located under the kitchen sink, in the basement, in a crawl space or in the cabinet next to the refrigerator. There will be a small 1/4 inch copper line attached to the cold water supply line using a saddle valve (t-valve).

How deep should water lines be buried?

The classic rule-of-thumb procedure for avoiding cold-weather damage to water pipe is bury it deep. If water lines are located below the lowest level of frost penetration—five to six feet or more in many cold region locales—they should be safe from freezing.
