Tube fittings meet my requirements

Old fridge moved to my back room. I used a splitter to separate cold water and this item to deliver water to the ice maker. Works well.

It's best in pipe fittings

The item actually consists of 2 parts. The hose flap is screwed into the fitting. Possible location of the leak. It's tapered, but plan on using Teflon to make sure it doesn't leak.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Volume

Did I get a bad one or are they all equally bad?

Non shut-off, doesn't seem to have a seat that can shut off water flow when needed. Actions follow. Total waste of money, never turned off. Or even slower, Good Lucl.5 / 2018

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Failed quickly. The water quickly eroded the valve seat.

Updated on 05/12/17: Failed quickly. The water quickly washed away the valve's brass seat, and now it no longer shuts off the water. Now it's useless! Brass is bad at it. A needle valve is typically used to precisely limit the amount of water to a small flow rate. This use requires a stainless steel seat. This one doesn't have that.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Little things
