Hi guys/girls

I'm looking to fit my freezer this weekend but not really sure my best method to fit it.

Here is the layout the water supply is in the cupboard next to the dish washer and the freezer is around 1.5m away in a straight line. Ignore the mess I have only moved in 3 days ago above the kitchen is a bathroom but that finishes around where the wall is.

More pictures of what around

The flooring will at some point be replaced by tiles so I was thinking of putting the water line in the flooring perhaps taking a channel out of the concrete?

Any ideas please
The tubing is 1/4" plastics r/o stuff.

Cheers

Well you have two/three options take supply through the floor or from above.
Is there any cold water outlets in the area above the F/F?

Or you could route supply from D/W through partition wall, upwards and over!
 
Forgot to mention that each side of the f/f has a door opening.

The only other way I can see is going from the bathroom but I still have to run around a 1.5m ceiling to get to the wall behind the f/f and I'm unsure of which way the joists run?
 
For a temporary measure, you could pull off the laminate edging trim and fit some quarter round pvc trunking to put the pipe in. Mitre the corners if you can, the clip on style corners just get knocked off on external corners, especially at floor level.

That very thin water pipe will flex pretty good without kinking to get it into the corners, I have seen it installed in MT1 trunking before and going round corners (that trunking is only 16mm by 16mm external dimensions).

Gaz :)

The best way is what suits you, the water has to come from somewhere!
I would personally, think it much easier to notch joists or hole if run in plastic, than channel out concrete!
