I've been working with piping and plumbing for over 30 years. I watched this video as a refresher for piping up a fridge. It was superb!!! You provide important detail on ferrules and explain why one approach may be better. It's one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen, of any kind. Bravo brother!
Initially I avoided it because of the length. I chose to watch a couple of vids in the 4-8 minute range. Both were informative though one was borderline train wreck! Finally I clicked this one. Wow, very impressed with the narration, editing and quality of the informative content overall.
@@jeffkeni I was like wow finally a nice long video. These guys are great. The longer the video the more action and in depth they went. One of my best on you tube! Or rather the best I've found for plumbing.
Agreed! This was an amazing video. Very detailed, nuanced, clear, and clean. You even had the split cut of the coupling. I hope to one day have videos of this quality. A+
This is a how a "How to" video should be done. I like how you showed the different options that are available and demonstrated and explained in detail how to do each one.
My wife and I decided not to hook up the water line to our fridge. But after watching your video and how easy you made it seem, we plan to hook it up today. Thank you for your help and very informative video 👍
The best how to plumbing video posted on TH-cam in many years. It's the best because you give different options for different situations. Most how to videos just show the one way the producer did it. You go above and beyond so that it applies to many more people. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the clear, easy, concise but thorough video. Got a new fridge and replaced the copper coil with plastic line, thanks for the tips and expertise, I did it in no time and WITHOUT SWEARING ONCE! No extra trips to the hardware store, one and done! Thanks again.
I knew how to do this in theory, but wanted to come to an expert to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Like always, your videos are super clear. Nobody explains plumbing better than you.
i stood at the hardware store saying “plastic or brass ferrule” “do i need this insert tube or not” “is this plastic tubing compatible with this sharkbite” you answered everything and even more. please keep making videos!
Geek Squad refused to connect my water line because I had an existing copper line. I swapped it out for braided stainless steel, as recommended by Bosch, just following your video. No leaks, great water pressure and easy. Thank you for such a detailed and easy to follow DIY tutorial, you’ve acquired a new subscriber.
Another great video! I worked for a plumbing company sub-contracted by an insurance flood and fire restoration firm. Top floods were caused by frozen pipes. washing machine supplies bursting and plastic fridge lines with metal ferrules or piercing saddle valves.
I want to thank you for explaining in detail on how to install the lines. Exactly 30 years ago today I got married tomorrow is exactly 4years since husband passed away. He was a mechanic an I a house wife but know some on fixing things up. Now I'm going through my 3 time with cancer an this time around I'm not thinking correctly. Few days ago I received that news. I live by myself an mostly I'm doing all the fixer uppers. Not much of income so instead of buying expensive products I look an see what I have then buy what's needed. When you explain different ways an you did a one hell of a job, I am most confident that this should not be that difficult. You are amazing. Now how do you fix an furnace...lol
Repair for me - puddle on the kitchen floor. This video is very clear, gave several options (yes!). Well done. Frozen shutoff valve to the refrigerator water line forced me to switch to plastic on the outlet side of the filter, which then allowed me to clamp the line instead of shutting the main water valve off. It was split at the ferrule where the water line from the back connects to the one going up the door.
Thank you SO much for posting this! We developed a pinhole leak in the water tube for the ice cube maker a few inches up from the connection and your instructions enabled me to cut off the few inches, reassemble the outer plastic sleeve and inner metal one properly in order to screw it back into place with no leaks. Saved me a lot of money for something simple! :D
Your intro alone answered all the questions that I had aboutt this type of project. I went to Home Depot looking for the Brass compression coupling and two people that worked there said this can't be done LOL I'm glad i found your video b/c I can customize my tubing instead of just using what was supplied by the water filter since I wanted to run it further what was given. And thank you for leaving the links for the supply. I wish I saw this first instead of wasting my time with the narrow minded people. Real pros will find solutions and get the job done.
This video was so thorough, and easy to understand even if I am an inexperienced DIY lady. I’ve watched many times how soldering is done, but your info on options was very useful👍🏻
This video was Waaaayyyyyyy better than This Old House vid and other people’s vids. I’m glad he show every aspect of it and important pieces like plastic ferrels. Other vids don’t even mention the ferrel and how important it is. I know, I had to clean up a bunch of water just now.
5 minutes into this video and I already have to say it is excellent pointing out so many helpful tips Love the cardboard for in front of the refrigerator I used to do kitchen remodeling and we used to actually carry with us a quarter inch piece of 30x30 plywood just for such appliance movement and installation or removal.
Very well produced and edited video. Clear and concise. I might double valve my install since I'm coming off my main in the basement and run copper thru the floor and another valve on the floor behind the refrigerator then to plastic. Also, anywhere I'm running a waterline around wood, I dab some Terminate (Copper naphthenate) on the wood and thru the drilled hole just in case of a leak to help keep dry-rot from starting.
I will try this. You are so good a explaining how to do this. I like how you show not only the way to do it but what can go wrong if you don't do it right.
This video should required watching for anyone doing a how to video, excellent explanations of all the little things that can trip you up on what looks like a simple install. Only question I still have is “how DO you cut plastic tubing to get a perfectly square end so push fittings don’t leak?”
Great. I got exactly what I needed and installed my water line from the house pipe to the inlet of my refrigerator. I have got both the sleeve and brass ferrule and didn't know which one or both to use. I learned from the video and used the plastic sleeve, it works very well for me. Thank you very much.
I was searching how to set up for my neighbor not having done this before and completed all. Thank you for the best and detailed explanation. So appreciated. I saved my neighbor $310 she was being charged.
I moved into my house where the previous owner installed saddle valves they are now leaking, and now I think I know why. Thanks for this video, it turns a intimidating job into a realistic job.
Nicely done! I feel confident that I can do this when we get fridge with water dispenser. Me and my wife thank you! And those Shark bites work great. You Rock, man!
Just came across your video. Thank you for your clear and concise walkthrough. There was so much information in such a short video, but not overwhelmingly so. Great job.
One thing to note is that the 1/4" plastic tubing you use in the video is NOT PEX, it is regular HDPE. There's quite a difference. As I recently learned at my expense is that actual 1/4" PEX water line (for ex. Waterline Products Ltd. 1/4" PEX B tubing) has thicker walls and is much more rigid than regular polyethylene. The consequence is that if you want to use 1/4" compression fittings, the brass inserts do not fit inside the tubing . So you are left with 2 choices: don't use the inserts, only the plastic ferrule OR use push-fit fittings. Since I have already installed my valve and cut the tubing (therefore can't get a refund for those), I decided to take a chance and install the compression fittings without the insert. The walls of the PEX tubing are VERY rigid, probably as rigid as copper so I'm cautiously confident. I will be checking on those joints every hour after I install them for a whole day to make 100% sure everything is ok.
There are no better plumbing videos out there than yours. VERY well explained, great information, super camera work, and you list everything you used. I love when you show valves and pipes cut down the middle to show what goes on in the inside. You are a true professional and as I said before your videos are surely the best. Thank you sir!!
After having a new fridge/freezer delivered and waking up to water shooting up from my floor I appreciate this video. Thank you! It was all brass 🤦🏻♀️
NEVER use plastic lines. Had one that developed a pin size hole and leaked water into my neighbor’s condo unit downstairs. I’ve heard others complain about the same thing. Pay the extra cost for the braided stainless steel line.
@Liana... A braided stainless steel line is only stainless steel on the outside! It's still a plastic line on the inside!! If you stand by your statement of never using a plastic line...you're basically telling people to use a copper line which can be even more problematic by kinking and/or corroding.
@@TheKiltedKrautof course. But as it states: “These hoses are rubber inside the stainless mesh, and will last for 3-5 years. Braided hose provides better heat dissipation and better flow, which is important when choosing performance car parts. Additionally, braided lines are able to withstand more pressure than rubber lines.” The point that I was trying to make is that the steel braided hose is more resilient. I’d just had my ice maker installed (less than a year) when the pin hole size damage occurred. That’s all.
I’ve had two copper lines in my house develop leaks, a pin hole on a pressure line, and a condensate drain from the AC unit. So now I don’t trust copper either. Plumber told me that’s normal.
wow, we could all learn how to make a great how-to video from this guy. Got to be one of the best presentations I've heard on TH-cam. No bullshit loud music to cover up a bad presentation. Great stuff thanks...
This is awesome, thanks for such an in depth explanation! I was able to get the parts and will get this done just in time for my first fridge that has water to it!
I just watched This Old House where he fixed a water line. The woman was about to drink the fridge water when the guy said to throw away about 3 glasses. Only 3 glasses??? That woman will still be drinking sludge from the water line. That small amount won't clear it!
That should have been mentioned in the video. Hopefully people will see your comment and remember to discard the first batch of ice. The video was great except for this omission about the first ice made.
Thank you for the links to the products!!! Going to Lowe's to wander around aimlessly looking for tiny parts I really don't know the correct names of is incredibly frustrating. This is super helpful-thank you!
All of your videos are superb, thank you! You should make a video on how to connect a 1/4" copper supply line to a Bosch B36CD50SNS which has a 6mm metric fitting. Lots of hits on the forums for this problem.
in the materials list for the 1/4" PE-RT Pipe (50ft), link goes to 3/8" OD not 1/4". It does not seem to say that anywhere in the description but I purchased via the link and received the 1/4" inside diameter not outside, FYI DIYers. Seems others made the same mistake in the Q&A section
Thank you for the DIY know-how. I have had to fix my mother in law's home, which used a saddle valve that leaked all over. I am glad that someone is showing people how to do things the right way. Edit: very funny how you probouce the "L" in solder. Personally I say it like "sawder".
Never use the clear plastic tubing with out any lettering on it.. it's not rated for water pipes... Also the saddle valves.. never use them.. thank you for sharing this post.. Robert Jr NJ here and plumber
@@Got2Learn I’m not actually a plumber, I’m a sales guy for a plumbing wholesaler in Ontario, and you are my go-to channel to get confirmation before I tackle a small DIY plumbing job!! You’re in Montreal right?
Excellent 👌👌👌👍👍👍. Every time I buy these kids they come with the copper crush sleeves instead of plastic which makes a lot of sense because it does cut through the plastic tubing rather it has a inserted backup anti crush sleeve in the tube and or not they are very prone to leaking right at the pinched joint. I did not know that the plastic couplers/mushrooms are available until I saw this video. "Good job this was a good JUAN"
Bro I I appreciate this video so much I just got in the construction business as an apprentice doing repairs and drywall and I stuff and I had an idea how to do it my mom’s had a pinhole in her hose line and I found out what I needed from my boss and got it watched your video and I nailed it so thank you so much much appreciated
I install all these methods all the time. I do install close to the same number of each but the saddle is the one most installed and it is the least problematic. I rarely have a return call on a saddle only 3 in the last 10 years with 628 installed in the 10 years this is all 100% accurate numbers from my computer billing system that keeps up with this type of stuff. The saddle is a very good product snd highly recommended.

Never use the clear plastic tubing with out any lettering on it.. it's not rated for water pipes... Also the saddle valves.. never use them.. thank you for sharing this post.. Robert Jr NJ here and plumber
Good advice, thanks Robert for that!
Wow, awesome video. I was just about to buy a saddle valve, but thankfully I saw this video. Thanks for the tip!
Need more safe way to cut at 11.44 minute otherwise video is very good and audio speech is best . Good tips too
Thanks a lot ;)
CrisFix of the plumbing world 🙌🏽
COOOOOL!!!
Excellent. BTW, the L in solder is silent. It's pronounced sodder.
Thanks for the info!
That depends on which part of the world you're in.
SAH-der. LOL
Thank you! This helped me and my daughter fix our water line.

Always stay away from things that are tempting 👍
Hehe yeah ;)
I like how you chose plastic over copper, and also use the plastic ferrule with plastic pipe!! This is often overlooked
Yes, overlooked a little bit too much hehe, thanks Mark!
@@Got2Learn I’m not actually a plumber, I’m a sales guy for a plumbing wholesaler in Ontario, and you are my go-to channel to get confirmation before I tackle a small DIY plumbing job!! You’re in Montreal right?
Awesome, yes Montreal. 🙂
Love this vid!!!!
Thx man ;)
New fridge coming Saturday, needed a refresher, and excellent video

I flush the water line before connecting it
Yeah I thru away my first batch of ice just in case they tasted weird lol
This is an excellent video and the most insanely detailed one for a DIY project I’ve seen! I needed to know where the pipe stiffener went!
Thank you so much for pointing that out!!

Excellent 👌👌👌👍👍👍. Every time I buy these kids they come with the copper crush sleeves instead of plastic which makes a lot of sense because it does cut through the plastic tubing rather it has a inserted backup anti crush sleeve in the tube and or not they are very prone to leaking right at the pinched joint. I did not know that the plastic couplers/mushrooms are available until I saw this video. "Good job this was a good JUAN"
Thx Eugene!!
Bro I I appreciate this video so much I just got in the construction business as an apprentice doing repairs and drywall and I stuff and I had an idea how to do it my mom’s had a pinhole in her hose line and I found out what I needed from my boss and got it watched your video and I nailed it so thank you so much much appreciated
Awesomeee!!!
Great video saved me from using wrong stuff and to do a big mistake

I am so honored, thanks a million!!!
I am so glad that I found this video. It's not only helpful but also a nice presentation. I got all I need to know and more. Thank you.
😇😇😇
I install all these methods all the time. I do install close to the same number of each but the saddle is the one most installed and it is the least problematic. I rarely have a return call on a saddle only 3 in the last 10 years with 628 installed in the 10 years this is all 100% accurate numbers from my computer billing system that keeps up with this type of stuff. The saddle is a very good product snd highly recommended.
Great video and explanation! I found it and it was so helpful for my husband. Thank you a lot for your work
You are most welcome, have a great evening!
