Can I use a faucet on the picture as a water source for my garage fridge ice maker

Just got a garage fridge with an ice maker / water capability. Can I use the faucet on the picture as a water source for it? It is coming off my water softener. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Yes you can but you'll need one of these.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have already picked up one of these last night just in case. Any idea what that faucet is for? I don't really speak "plumbing".

Someone installed it for a garden hose connection. Could have been used for anything.

Wouldn't this need an adapter that goes from 3/8 to 1/4 since the fridge lines are 1/4 ?

Before adapting to feed a fridge, I would remove the add-on vacuum breaker. Fortunately the screw has not been broken off, so drilling out the screw will not be necessary.

Correct, 1/4" would be needed. The adapter is 3/4"-1/4".
