Plumbing of american style fridge freezer

[kristell]

We are just about to buy one of these but before we do would like some advice please.

We will need to extend the pipe to the water supply - is this possible - any idea where to get the extra pipe and connectors frorm (looked in B&Q but not sure what it is called so couldn't find it!).

Secondly - is it easy to do this?

Ive got the Samsung model,which comes with the pipe and 15mm & 22mm female connection with rubber washer.

All I done was tee of the cold mains in 15mm then fit a bolofix valve, then just use the 15mm nut/washer supplied with Fridge freezer.

install the filter and flush a few litres thru filter, before connecting to 6mm pipe.

PS. If you buy off the shelf in Comet or similar, just ensure the filter and fittings are inside a drawer.

Cheers
Al
