- We're getting new flooring in our kitchen soon. Before the new stuff is down I want to provide a water line to my refrigerator from the other side of the kitchen. I can't do it from the basement beca

- I'd go with the PEX plastic stuff. It's fairly flexible, easy to handle, and supposedly doesn't have the problems associated with some older varieties of plastic pipe. If you have a straight shot bet

- While I prefer copper for most water lines, if you're ever going to add an RO water system and use it to feed the refrigerator, plastic is a better choice. RO water is "hungry" and will react with th

- Mine runs up and through the ceiling and back down to the fridge. The line is small diameter copper. Connection point with shut-off valve under the sink, and the other connection at the fridge. I had

- While I've run RO water through soft copper for going-on 20 years (plus however long it had been there before we bought the house, PO also had an RO system) and never had a leak. When we replaced th

- My apologies, Karl ... I did not mean to imply otherwise. It's certainly a very common myth, and might even be true in some cases, depending on the exact definition of "over time", "eat away" and "c
