💦 Choice Hose And Tubing Ice Maker and Humidifier Installation Kit – Complete, Lead-Free Set to Connect Water Lines and Pipes for Refrigerator and Freezer Review

First omit the perforated poppet valve. They are deceptive and prone to problems and can compromise your pipes. I got this for everything else to hook up my fridge to the plumbing. All compression fittings and fittings are great and 25ft of hose should be more than enough. All for $10. If you want to connect under the sink, search for "John Guest 1/4 Fittings". This is the best water pipe connector for disconnecting the hose under the sink and no poppet valve. The water ran out in less than 5…

Bought to fix the hose in the humidifier. Bryant HUMBBLBP2217-A. The old hose was a 1/4 inch OD rigid hose. It showed up quickly. It had all the parts needed to install the compression fitting so no extra trips to the hardware store. Good. The hose matched the exact fit and stiffness of the original. I have plenty of tubing and parts left over if my other humidifier breaks! I didn't use a copper tap. I've used them in the past and they work well. But if I needed something like that, I'd…

We had a new fridge installed and the installer used our existing copper piping. Oh boy! For more than a week I didn't notice that the copper pipe that the plumber was reusing was leaking all over the floor under the fridge. I ordered this product because it is flexible and easy to install. It took about an hour to complete and get it working. No leaks, flexible hose Rate and I recommend this product. *Before ordering, I watched 3 YouTube videos of a similar product to make sure I had enough…

Regarding "Optional Ice Maker and Humidifier Kit: PE Hose and Tube" There is one really silly thing about this product. It contains a plastic tube and 3 brass or copper ferrules and only 2 plastic ferrules. But if you use even a metal tip with a plastic pipe, the metal tip can cut through the plastic pipe in time and result in a catastrophic failure that could flood your home. Therefore, all tips included in the kit must be plastic, this kit should not have metal tips! It's like sabotage hiding

The product delivered differs slightly from the description. Instead of plastic inserts that hold the hose open when the compression fitting is tightened, the hoses come with brass inserts. It would be great if the brass inserts were big enough to stay in the tube when pointing down, but these inserts are too small in diameter to drop out. The water connection on my refrigerator points upwards. So if I tried to connect a hose to my fridge, the insert would fall into the connector and render my…

I knew better but I did it anyway. Just take copper. Since you're buying this kit for its intended purpose, I suspect you probably aren't that far from the utility line, so do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a flex copper line. The headache just isn't worth the savings. If you were lucky enough to install it with no leaks, your pride in yourself will be short-lived when you get home to find your basement flooded because the portion of the hose held by the compression fitting is…

For newbies like me, that comes with poppet valve. To put it simply, a saddle valve is like a vise with a needle that pokes a hole in a copper pipe and draws water out of that hole. In my case the copper pipe from the wall was very short. A mistake can be very expensive. Now to the other parts. The plastic insert was too small compared to the hole in the union nut. The water pressure simply blew the hose and insert through the hole. I went and bought a metal (lead free) insert. However, the…

customer. this type of valve is prone to failure. I didn't use the piercing valve that came with it and I'm glad I didn't. The instructions included are not very clear on how to properly install the fittings. After everything was hooked up and water pressure restored everything started leaking and one of the hoses popped out and water spilled all over the kitchen. The included valve will puncture the existing pipe and cause permanent damage. If for some reason you manage to get everything set…
