Hi, first time poster.
Installed a 48" Sub-0 built-in fridge. As you know, these things are heavy and once installed are not practicall to move especially on a hardwood floor. I am utilized the existing 1/4" valve recessed in the wall that was used for the old fridge. Of course there is no way to turn this valve off and on after the fridge is installed, so I used 1/4" nylon hose and a
1/4" coupling valve, that you connect the hose to by simply pushing the hose into it to make the connection. My concern is that I really don't trust these types of connections, but couldn't find a comprerssion type 1/4" x 1/4" valve to use instead. Plumbers must run into this situation all the time in remodeling and new construction with these kinds of fridges and wondered what is the best way to handle it.
Thanks
