Water feed to fridge/freezer behind cooker?

[drmrbrewer]

We're considering layout options for our kitchen, and wonder whether it's possible / sensible to route the water pipe for a fridge freezer (water/ice dispenser) behind a gas cooker to the mains water supply? Can the water pipe be heat-insulated or lagged in some way to prevent any possible issues? Perhaps inside a copper pipe so that any heat is conducted away? Or if we secure the water pipe down at ground level behind the cooker, will that be enough to ensure that heat isn't an issue?

Thanks,

Mike

I don't think you'll have any heat issues by running a water pipe at skirting level behind a gas cooker - if there was any heat escaping to that extent then it would be dangerous.
I believe the connection to the fridge water inlet is the same as a washing machine tap.

Thanks. That's as I thought.
