So we're shopping for a new refrigerator and finally going to step into the mid 1980s and get one with in-door water and ice. I'm trying to avoid paying somebody to run the line and hook up the water though.
Under our sink (fridge location 5ft to the left on same linear wall), there is an existing branch/shutoff from a previous water filter system as pictured below. I'm guessing I can use that to hook up the fridge? If so, what do I need? I can't imagine it's too hard - just pressure couplings and the like on both ends? What sucks is that line is pointing straight forward, so whatever I attach is going to jut out quite a bit into the under-counter usable space. It seems as well that that endcap is just threaded on (not soldered)
FWIW, I'm generally a handy guy and can do things myself, I just want to make sure they are done right.
Thanks in advance.
