FAQs

Can I use this kit for hot water?

No, this kit is designed for cold water applications with a temperature range of 2°C to 45°C.

What is the diameter of the hose included?

The kit includes a standard 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) polyethylene hose.

Does this include everything needed for a fridge installation?

Yes, it provides the tubing, valves, and adapters required to connect a standard fridge ice maker to a 3/8 inch water supply line.

Is the tubing BPA-free?

The polyethylene tubing is food-grade and safe for potable water applications.

What should I do if the tubing is too long?

You can easily trim the polyethylene hose to the desired length using a sharp utility knife or specialized plastic pipe cutters.

Can this be used on a copper pipe?

The kit is intended to connect to threaded pipe fittings, so you will need a 3/8-inch threaded adapter or an existing valve on your copper plumbing.

Troubleshooting

Water dripping from a connector

Ensure the tubing is cut cleanly at a 90-degree angle. If it is still leaking, remove it, re-apply PTFE tape to the threads, and reseat the tube firmly.

Low water flow to the appliance

Check that the inline ball valve is fully open and ensure there are no kinks in the 5-meter polyethylene hose line.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive all-in-one kit saves time on sourcing individual parts
  • High-quality 5-meter polyethylene tubing provides ample length for most layouts
  • Includes essential installation components like PTFE tape and gaskets
  • Chrome-plated tee provides a robust, professional look and durability
  • Versatile range of adapters allows for connection to many different appliances

Cons

  • Not suitable for hot water supply lines
  • Requires basic plumbing skills to install correctly
  • Pressure limit of 6 bar might be too low for some specialized industrial high-pressure pumps
  • Does not include a dedicated water shut-off tool

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the cold water supply is shut off at the main valve before starting any work.
  2. Threading: Use the included PTFE tape on all threaded metal connections to prevent weeping leaks.
  3. Tubing Connection: Push the 1/4-inch tubing firmly into the quick-connect fittings until you feel it seat against the internal o-ring.
  4. Pressure Test: Turn the water on slowly to check for drips; if a leak is detected, tighten the fitting slightly or ensure the tubing is cut straight.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the connections during the first week of use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the plastic components, as these can degrade the material over time.
