Plumbing fridge

[mjtefc9]

Hi all,

Useless at plumbing! Can you help.

I'm plumbing in a Samsung fridge Freezer, and the pipe will come through where the red dot is.

First is it 15mm pipe I need?

Second, do I just cut the cold water feed and put a speedfit tee in? Do I need an isolator?

Any advice and help on materials would be great! Thanks all!

Cut cold feed, fit a tee and service valve, then you're ready to go.
It might need a double check valve, but not sure.
Some plumbers fit them to fridges feed.

Mine is 15mm.
Check the fridge manual.
Also, use the same brand of pipework already there.
If it's speedfit, don't use hep2o for example.

Looks like it's 15mm under the sink but the actual cable that's comes with the fridge and goes to the filter is 1/4" (8mm) ?

Yes, but you need to check the brass or plastic nut.
Mine is a standard fit for 15mm female compression fitting.

Do I need one of these then? Then 8mm pipe? It's going to a Samsung filter and fridge.

Yes

Hi Johnny,

Doing this Saturday... Got the reducing tee and some 1/4 od tube to go to the filter. I know I need 15mm inserts for the cold water feed connection... But I can't find any 1/4 inserts ?

It should've come with the fridge.
Anyhow, look online for something like this
