You can buy a kit that has instructions and parts needed to connect a supply line to the new refrigerator. Go to your local hardware store or Home Depo/tlowes.

You can also buy on-line.

Here is a kit available at: http://plumbing. Hardwarestore.com/51-284-icemaker-supply-lines/ice-maker-kit-197483.aspxgia packages: http://plumbing. Hardwarestore.com/51-284-icemaker-supply-lines.aspx Most packages employ the saddle valve that taps the side of the existing cold water line (usually under the kitchen sink).

Another option is to replace the cold attitude angle side with a double 1/2×3/8×1/4 “angle stop as shown here:

They also sell them at local hardware store sas.Ego I prefer to replace the angle of approach as opposed to the use saddle valve, because the latter are more prone to leak if not installed correctly.

If you go to replace the angle stop should check what kind of pipe is installed in your home.

If you have galvanized steel pipe will need a position angle fits 1 / 2 “threaded pipe.

If you have copper pipe then you will need a stop angle fits 1 / 2 “copper pipe with a compression fitting.

The best way is to visit your local hardware store and ask them. Print the information for the image of the valve, and take with you. Be sure to explain your plumbing to them.

The valve is shown at the link above is for 1 / 2 “threaded steel pipe.

If you have copper valve, then you need to be a little different.
