| Can someone tell me what fitting I need to hook up the water feed to my fridge please?
It was originally fed with 1/4" copper tubing connected to the fridge by means of a 1/4" compression fitting. Now I have 3/8" LLDPE tubing run to the fridge and I'd like to know what John Guest fitting to use to connect the two. I had an old JG female adapter flare - (3/8 x 1/4 flare) but it doesn't want to thread properly on the fridge. It seems to try to cross-thread immediately so I'm not forcing it. Do I have the right fitting? If not, what should I use? TIA

| Use threaded fittings, not push on. Do not use a 'saddle valve' either. |

| I just bought a new stainless steel fridge last month. I tried hooking the water line up myself but couldn't. I just called my local plumbers. They are Thousand Oaks Plumbing. Here is their web address www.1000oaksplumbing.com. They completely the job quickly and affordably. |

| Ummmmmm. . . . ematthews - I'll ignore the fact that you just signed up on GW today as most spammers do and simply point out that the service call for a California based plumber to come to an Ohio address would be just a wee bit outside what I am willing to pay. But thanks for your concern ;) |
