Thank you. I was married for 9 years and could not get my husband to install the hose. My new guy has been around for 8 years, and I cannot get him to install it, so after 17 years of waiting, and thinking about buying a new refridge, I am going to install it. The install kit has been in the closet all these years. If you want to get something done, do it yourself. At least you were kind enough to instruct me. I would say I have a lot of patience, but need a lesson how to choose better friends. Haha. God Bless you.

@@user-nk7yp8sj6oyour right. I remember my plastic line cracked after a year or two. I bought a braided line but didn’t use it because it was easier to cut the hose where it leaked and reconnect that way. I didn’t have to mess with the other side but I’m gonna have to deal with this again later, but at least I have the braided line.

You forgot a ferrule (looks like a brass ring) that goes over the hose and under the nut. When the nut is tightened the nut and union squeeze up against the ferrule causing a proper seal at that joint, connection. For some reason not all kits come with a ferrule so it has to be pucrhased separately. If no ferrule is used you have the very big probability there will be a water leak. This is especially true in homes where the incoming water pressure is high. I know of city houses that have 100 ps,i pressure coming from the city water feed. These high pressure homes are typically at the bottom of a hill.

You don't need pipe dope on a compression fitting. The nut compresses that ring around the tubing which then squeezes the tubing and seals between the bevels on the body and the nut. The pipe dope only makes a mess and does nothing to contribute to a seal.

You should us plastic compression rings (ferrules) on plastic tubing, NOT brass. Brass can damage/cut the plastic tube. I'm not sure why you didn't use a brass tube in the end that connects to the Oatey shut of valve but you should have. Lastly, thread sealant (or "pipe dope") should NOT be used on compression fittings. The water seal is NOT on the threads so the thread sealer will do nothing to seal water leaks. Leak free compression joints rely on appropriate alignment and tightening. Thread sealer may allow the nut to turn easier than without it and should NOT be used (especially in the amount you used).

It's working so far but i'm keeping an eye on it. Just five mins of that water running would flood my kitchen!
